Creative Specifications

Our network uses IAB certified ad serving technology, so all campaign performance and time reports contain IAB certified impression counts. We support JPG, GIF, Flash and a variety of other rich media file formats. Rich media and third party ad tag formats supported include DART, Atlas, SWF, MediaMind/Eyeblaster, Unicast, Eyewonder, and Pointroll. JavaScript tags are preferred for third-party serving, but IFRAME tags are accepted. Click-through URLs must open in a new window. Please allow up to 3 business days to review and ensure that rich media ads and ad tags are displayed properly and clicks are counted accurately through our ad server. Please note that any ad that has an expanding frame, including pop-ups and interstitials, are not currently supported.
