Published on: Thu, 30 Mar, 2023 at 1:21 AM | Updated on: Wed, 27 Nov, 2024 at 7:25 AM

Connect your website

From the left navigation menu, select [Menu] → Settings.
- Alternatively, for Creator accounts, in the upper-right corner, select [User profile] → 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 via Google Analytics or Add Website Manually.
Note: If you choose to add your website property via Google Analytics, skip Verify your website — your property will be automatically verified. 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:

Field	Description
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.
- Alternatively, for Creator accounts, in the upper-right corner, select [User profile] → 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 implement 1 of these verification methods correctly, your website should be verified instantaneously.
Email address
You can use this quick verification method if your impact.com partner account's email address matches the domain of the website you want to verify.
Example: Your email address is dinahsoares@stark-industries.com and your website is www.stark-industries.com. Because the domains are the same, the system will verify your website.
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 URL field, enter the URL of the page on which you placed the segment.
Select [Checked box] I have followed the above instructions to verify my website.
Select Submit for verification.
Pasting code
Copy the Meta Tag and place it as the first <meta> tag within the <head> section of your site.
In the Content URL field, enter the URL of the page on which the meta header exists.
Select [Checked box] I have followed the above instructions to verify my website.
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 Complete Your Media Property Verification Process if you are having trouble verifying your website.
