List of counters
The configured counters are displayed in the list.
Table with a list of counters
- id - counter ID in myTarget.
- Counter Name - The name of the counter you have set. To the left of the name is the counter id in top.mail.ru. On the right is a link to the code. Click on it to open and copy the generated counter code.
- Goals - the number of goals that are configured for this counter. Click "Add" to edit the targets.
- Look-alike - a link for creating a Look-alike audience based on your counter data. More details

- Segments - the number of segments in which the counter is used.
- Owner - "mine" for counters that you added, "third-party owner" - counters that third-party owners have shared with you.
Coverage statuses
The table on the page "Counters Top@Mail.Ru" displays the coverage - the number of users covered by the counter for a full calendar week.
The "Coverage" field can contain values:
The "Coverage" field can contain values:
- number - the number of users covered by the counter for a full calendar week;
- yellow number means that this is not final data - coverage is still being calculated;
- counting in progress - the segment size is currently being calculated. This may take some time;
- less than 1000 - counters in which from 0 to 1000 users were found last week. Check that the counter is installed correctly on the site, or contact the owner of the counter.
Please note that the coverage of the counter may not coincide with the data of top.mail.ru: only the data that the counter collected after connecting to myTarget is reflected here. If the counter was connected to myTarget more than a year ago, then the data for the last 365 days will appear in the coverage. If less than a year ago, then the coverage shows data since the moment the counter was connected to myTarget.
Features call code dynamic remarketing
Depending on the user's actions on the site, the dynamic remarketing code can be called an unlimited number of times without reloading the page, but all calls should be made only after calling the main counter code Top.Mail.Ru.
When calling the code in the global scope, to declare the _tmr object, it is enough to specify its name, for example:
When calling the code in the global scope, to declare the _tmr object, it is enough to specify its name, for example:
<input type="button" id="addToCart" value="Add to cart">
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery('#addToCart').on('click', function() {
var _tmr = _tmr || [];
_tmr.push({
type: 'itemView',
productid: '1234',
pagetype: 'cart',
list: '1'
});
return true;
});
</script>
If the code is called inside some JS-function or elsewhere, then you may need to declare the _tmr object as a method of the global window object, for example:
<input type="button" onclick="var _tmr = window._tmr || (window._tmr = []); _tmr.push({ type:'itemView', productid:'1234', pagetype:'cart', list:'1' }); return true;" value="Add to cart">
The examples above demonstrate an embodiment of sending data to myTarget about adding a product to the cart when the user clicks the "Add to cart" button.
Step 2. Set goals for the counter
