Ad-rotation in email

AdButler provides an "email safe" version of the code that you can use in emails or newsletters. To access this, click on the "view html code" button on the set page, then choose from the drop-down list of code versions.

Do to security concerns in email caused by the proliferation of viruses and spam, most email clients are very restrictive in terms of what active content they will permit. Please note that:

AdButler will not work in all email clients (neither will any other ad-rotation tool).

This does not mean the software is broken, just that modern email clients are designed specifically to prevent any kind of tracking or dynamic content.

It's generally better not to use rotation in emails at all-- just static images with static links. This generally has the least chance of tripping a spam filter or being broken by security settings in the user's client.
