Summary

Website Promoters are a great way to guide visitors from your website into your Content Tracks.

These promoters display directly on top of your webpages, and once a visitor clicks on a promoter the Content Track opens in a new tab.

Note

The Jukebox.js Website Script Tag can be copied and pasted onto any website of yours that you would like to have PathFactory Website Promoters enabled on.
