TECHNICAL GUIDELINES
Flash and (backup) images
images and flash creatives are accepted.
flash creatives need to be accompanied by a backup image to reach non-flash users/devices.
all flash creatives should have a clickTAG integrated
we do NOT accept flash files for newsletters, mobile and wallpapers.
ClickTAG integration (only for flash creatives)
By using the clickTAG variable an adserver can define the url your ad has to point to.
This allows the adserver to count the amount of times people have clicked on the banner.
Multiple clickTAG integration: the additionnal clickTAG names are: clickTAG2, clickTAG3, ...
More info on clicktag insertion, download the step by step userguide
http://adhese.corelioconnect.be/docs/corelio_clickTAG_documentation.pdf
Animation (flash and animated .gifs)
15 sec max
No loop or animation after 15 sec
Audio
SOUND OFF by default, always user initiated on click action.
All advertising formats that use sound must feature a sound on/off button.
Video
Up to 30 sec. Above 30 sec only when there is user initiation. All advertising formats that use
sound and any video executions must feature a set of standard control buttons, including
sound on/off, play, pause and stop. Replay button is recommended.
Close button
All floating ads (overlayer) should feature a close button using IAB standards. The close button
should be clearly visible at all times with special consideration taken about the background
colours of the web page the creative is running on.
z-index
When delivering a 3rd party script make sure the expanded unit uses the following z-index:
expandable ad units: 99999
floating ad units (overlayers): 100000
Overlayers
Duration up to 15 seconds (Unlimited during user interaction)
make sure that the animation of the overlayer is not longer than 15s.
position of the overlayer ad with xl leaderboard as companion ad
should be centered in relation with xl leaderboard
vertical position of the overlayer should be in relation with the companion ad, if not please apply
a 400px top position to avoid an overlap of both ad elements.
Important for Medium Rectangle Expandables:
The creative can expand in both directions (left and right). The placement on the page will
decide how the ad will expand. In case of flash files, it is advisable to deliver 2 expandables
(one expand to right and one expand to left), in this case we need a total of 3 seperated files.
