Geolocation Magic Macros
The Geolocation Magic Macros plugin for Revive Adserver, Magic Geo in short, enables you to dynamically insert the name of the geographic location of a visitor into a banner. This can be used in both the HTML code and the destination URL. Using this new feature, you can automatically make a banner adjust its content to the location of a visitor.
This page lists the release notes and change log for all releases of the Geolocation Magic Macros plugin for Revive Adserver (MagicGeo).
