All ads must contain advertiser's branding.
We accept GIF, JPEG, flash (swf), rich media and third-party served ads.
Animation looping is accepted (3x maximum).
Animation can last no more then 30 seconds.
Flash frame rate 18 or lower.
Flash version 8 or lower.
All 3rd party rich media must come from an approved vendor. Approvals take 3 business days.
Ads with a white background must have a minimum 1-pixel border to differentiate ad from editorial content.
Ads that contain sounds must be user initiated as defined by a click or a mouse over / rollover. In either case, play and stop buttons must be clearly defined and easy for a user to select.
Expanding ads must be user-initiated. User-initiated standard ad units that expand beyond standard ad dimensions on mouse-over must include language that indicates rollover functionality. Ads must have a close button clearly placed in the expanded portion of the ad that allows the user to minimize the ad to its original size and must automatically close when a user moves curser off the ad. (Expanding Leaderboards 728x90 must be able to expand to the top and bottom depending on their location on the page).

We do not provide pop up or pop under inventory.
No floating ads accepted at this time.
