Google Tag Manager Container Name

[Eholic]

Hello,

So I am just creating my first Google Tag Manager.

I encountered a problem with naming the container, it wants it to be a website, but I don't have a website. I want to be tracking my YouTube ads.

I tried pasting in my long Youtube URL (with the random letters) but it contains a dash and it wouldn't have it. My channel is not even eligible yet for a custom link either. In which case I don't see how I can go forward with this.

As I already have Google Analytics, Ads and Youtube channel linked, do I really need the Google Tag Manager at this point, or am I good to dive into creating my Youtube ad with what I already have linked?

If I really do need the Google Tag Manager, how do I get around the above problem?

I am looking forward to your advice.

Thank you in advance!

You don't need Google Tag Manager to track youtube ads.

you would need if you sending them to a website where you want to track actions.

Hey, yeah I am going to be using Youtube ads to send them to a bridge page, which will then send them onto the JVzoo affiliate sales page

So you track click thru rates of your bridge page with google tag

if you want to track conversions that's another topic
