Where do my advertisers login to view their ads?
Your advertisers can
sign into their advertiser accounts using the same login form as publishers.
Can I manage campaigns and reports for my advertisers?
Advertisers can be self-service or fully-managed.
Self-service advertisers can manage ads, campaigns and reports by themselves. Fully-managed advertisers allow you, the publisher, to set up their account initially and to login and manage their account. When adding a new advertiser account, fully-managed is the default setting. By default, the advertiser has the option to turn off publisher's login permission and become a self-service advertiser account.

- Click on an advertiser's username
- Click on Manage tab
- Click on the login link near the bottom to sign into this advertiser's account
