From the left navigation menu, select [Menu] → Settings.
Under the Profile section, select Media Properties.
In the top right corner, select Create Media Property → Website.
In the pop-up that follows, you can choose to add your website via Google Analytics (the data fields will fill automatically) or manually.

Note: If you choose to add your website property via Google Analytics, there is no need to still Verify your website because the media property will be verified automatically. Note, however, that you cannot use Google Analytics as a verification method for a preexisting media property.

To add a website manually, you will need to complete all fields with information about your site:

Website Name	Provide the name of your website — this will appear in the Name column when viewing the Media Properties screen.
Domain	Provide the full URL that links to your website.
Description	Provide a description (i.e., an "elevator pitch") of your website, limited to 1000 characters, including spaces.
Screenshot	Select Choose File to upload a full-sized screenshot (wider than 800 pixels) of your website's landing page.

Select Save to add your website to the media properties table.

Verify your website

From the left navigation menu, select [Menu] → Settings.
Under the Profile section, select Media Properties.
On the Media Properties screen, hover your cursor over your website property and select Verify.
Choose how you want to verify your website.
- If you correctly implement a verification method, your website should be verified instantaneously.
Email address

If your impact.com account email address is verified and matches the domain of the site you want to verify, you can simply select Verify to complete the website verification. E.g., Your user email is partner@impact.com and your website is impact.com — if you opt to verify via the email option, your website will be verified because @impact.com and impact.com match.

Select [Checked box] I have followed the above instructions to verify my website, then select Verify.

Editing content

Copy the text segment and place it somewhere on your site. In the Content URL field, enter the URL of the page on which the Text Segment exists and select [Checked box] I have followed the above instructions to verify my website, then select Submit for verification.

Pasting code

Copy the Meta Tag and place it within the <head> section of your site. In the Content URL field, enter the URL of the page on which the meta header exists and select [Checked box] I have followed the above instructions to verify my website, then select Submit for verification.

Alternatively, copy the Stat Tag and place it within the <head> section of your site. The Stat Tag is a small JavaScript snippet that you can place on your site that can both verify your media property and automatically turn regular links on your site into impact.com partner links. Learn more about STAT Tag.

Unable to verify?

If you’re unable to verify via any of the above methods, leave a detailed message explaining why that is and how we can verify that you own the media property, then select Submit Reason.

Alternatively, refer to Speed Up Media Property Verification if you are having trouble verifying your website.
