Found a bad publisher/source ID? Exclude it in AdNow

The buyer collects publisher IDs via the {SRC_ID} tracking token in their tracker, then applies the list of bad publisher IDs as a campaign black list (or good ones as a white list) — widget IDs from spy tools are NOT accepted as the exclusion key.

Not documented as a self-serve UI control; per AdNow support (AffiliateFix thread) black/white lists are made from Publisher IDs collected via the {SRC_ID} token and applied to the campaign (in practice via campaign settings' targeting fields, since AdNow has no dedicated self-serve blacklist UI documented)
FAQ

AdNow tracking token FAQs

What are AdNow tracking tokens?+

AdNow tracking tokens are macros the network fills in automatically at click time — like a click ID or publisher ID — that you append as URL parameters on your landing-page link. ValidVisit reads the resolved values to attribute and judge each visit.

Do I need a funnel hop to use these macros?+

No. These are plain URL parameters appended to your destination URL. AdNow substitutes the real values at click time, so there’s no funnel hop, link rewrite, or extra script required.

Where do I add these macros in AdNow?+

Add them to your campaign’s destination or tracking URL in AdNow’s own dashboard. Once clicks arrive with the macros populated, ValidVisit attributes and judges each visit automatically.
