4 CREATIVE & TAG REQUIREMENTS GENERAL CREATIVE SPECS P4 TECHNICAL SPECS File Types Max File Size Max Image Flash Initial Polite JPEG PNG GIF SWF Animation Length Max Frame (Version 4-10) 40KB 2.2MB 30 secs 24fps Creatives may not exceed a 40KB initial load. Additional load must be polite and may not exceed 2.2MB. All creatives must be free of applications including, but not Limited to, ActiveX, viruses, exit pops, spyware, and malware. Third-party ads containing Flash must not exceed 50% of a users CPU. Common causes of high CPU use are continued animation, heavy animation sequences, and animation that surpasses the 30-second limit. If applicable, you can use the Task Manager feature in Windows to check for compliance with this rule. All creatives must open in new windows. The target window for the clickthrough URL must be set to _blank so the clickthrough will open in a new window. Do not leave the target statement undeclared. Creatives may not use LSO s: creatives may not set Flash cookies or other local shared objects (LSO s) for purposes of oline behavioural advertising, ad delivery and reporting, or multi-site advertising. Prohibited users include but are not limited to: storing user ID s, interest segments, user browsing history, or other unique user data. LSO s include Flash cookies, browser helper objects, and HTML5 localstorage. For Flash creatives: - Creatives must be built to be viewable flash versions 4 through You must supply a default image. If the browser does not support the flash version used for our creative, the default image will be served. - The last frame of animation must include the following code in actionscript stop(). - You must include a clicktag layer. The clicktag layer must be the topmost layer. - You may use a maximum of 2 clicktags in a single creative. - You must use the standard click variable name clicktag. Please note that the clicktag variable is case sensitive. - Creatives must not load a landing page when clicking on them. If the creatives load a landing page, the clicktag variable has not been configured properly. You must provide the landing page URL separately. - We support both ActioScript 2 and ActionScript 3. You can find instructions on how to impliment the clicktag variable in a Flash file here: On all creatives, you must add a border thats a different colour than the majority background colour of the creative. Ads may only click through to one domain. Creatives that click to different domains within the same tag must be separated into their own ad tag. Creatives that click to multiple domains from the same creative unit are not allowed. Rate ADDITIONAL GUIDELINES Prior to running on any inventory, all creatives must pass an audit process to check technical and content criteria, and evaluate them against the requirements of our sellers, including Microsoft and Google. Frequency capping or geo-targeting set outside our platform will interfere with the audit process and must be removed while the creatives are being audited. All creatives must contain sufficient brand notification; at least one of the three things below must be included. A clearly identifiable logo: if the only branding is the logo, that exact logo must alsobe on the landing page. A landing page URL: if the only branding on the creative is a landing page URL, that URL must be the URL the creative has as its landing page. A distinct brand name: if the only branding on the creative is a distinct brand name, the brand name must not be an actual word and when it appears on the creative it cannot be confused for other, non-branded text. TAG REQUIREMENTS As standard we require 4 different tags for each creative size e.g: 160x600_v1 160x600_v3 160x600_v2 160x600_v4

5 CREATIVE & TAG REQUIREMENTS RICH MEDIA CREATIVE SPECS P5 RICH MEDIA CREATIVE SPECS RICH MEDIA - EXPANDABLES EXPANDABLE INITIATION Expandables can initiate in one of three ways: Click to expand: the creative does not expand unless the user clicks on the creative. Mouseover to expand: the creative expands when the user rolls over the creative with the mouse. Creatives do not need to have a delay before expansion. Auto-expand: the creative expands without any user action. EXPANDABLE SIZE AND DIRECTION Standard expansion Large expansion Most publishers have a policy for how large an expandable may expand, and in what direction it may expand. Standard expansion size and direction for each ad format are specified below. If the expandable expands outside the allowed dimensions or expands in a non-standard direction, the creative will be classified as Expandable: Large expansion. Base Dimension Expanded Dimension Direction 120 x x 600 Left 160 x x 600 Left 300 x x 300 Down & Left 468 x x 210 Down 728 x x 300 Down 234 x x 250 Down & Left 120 x x 240 Down 180 x x 300 Left 300 x x 600 Left FALLBACK FOR NON-EXPANDABLE INVENTORY Though our expandable support prevents serving creatives where they cannot expand, creatives must still function when served into an iframe. Creatives should detect if they are being displayed in a friendly or an unfriendly iframe, and not expect any type of client side files or JS code to provide this information. We certify placements to serve expandables by checking if the placement has access to the top-level domain. The creative s code should use this same test to determine the type of iframe it is being displayed in. You can assume that this test will succeed if the creative is in a friendly iframe, and will fail otherwise. Creatives should not try to expand in an unfriendly iframe. If the creative blanks, rotates brands, or has any other behavior causing it to violate policy when served in an iframe, the creative will not pass audit. ADDITIONAL GUIDELINES: No pop-outs, page takeovers, etc. Auto-Expansion is allowed but will be flagged. As noted above Flash cookies and other LSO s may not be used for advertising purposes. See above under Technical Specs for details. Audio and/or video: - If a creative uses roll-over to initiate audio without a 3-second delay, this creative will be marked as auto-initiated audio/video. - Please refer to specific animation length restrictions in the Google and Microsoft policies.

6 CREATIVE & TAG REQUIREMENTS RICH MEDIA CREATIVE SPECS P6 RICH MEDIA - NON-EXPANDABLES: Load Size: AdX does not allow total creative weight to exceed 150kb. Violation of this will result in rejection from this inventory. Auto-Initiated Video: Embedded video with a video-player that begins without user initiation (click or delayed mouse-over with visual warning) cannot be approved for AdX inventory. Auto-Initiated Audio: Audio that starts either on mouse-over or automatically is prohibited by both AdX and MAX. Length: If the embedded video has user-initiation and the ability to start and stop, the animation can run up to 4 minutes for AdX.

NEWS FEED IMPLEMENTATION Gaining access to a brand page in Facebook We need page token access to an advertiser s brand page in order to run page post ads. Because this is usually content first published by the brand and then organically and / or paid for promoted after this, it needs to link to the brand page. When we traffic a News Feed creative, we create an unpublished (hidden) post on the Facebook page for the brand creative (neccessary for anyone running this type of ad unit). Before we can post to the brand page for the first time, however, we need to gain access: Ask the advertiser / agency to go to the page in Facebook and add us as an Advertiser. - For general step-by-step instructions, the advertiser can refer to Facebook s documentation: ( - Tell the advertiser that the brand page must not have any country restrictions; it must be visible to everyone. - Tell the advertiser to enter anfb00001@appnexus.com as the address and to select Advertiser as the page admin role. The above is standard for any paid for promotion of page posts. Ask the advertiser / agency to give you the Page ID for the brand s Facebook page. - We will need the Page ID to traffic creatives of that brand. - Tell the advertiser that the Page ID can be found in the URL when editing the page. In the following URL, for example, the Page ID appears after the id parameter in the query string: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Can third-party impression trackers be used for Facebook? To further enhance a client s tracking and de-duplication capabilities, MEDIA iq can offer the ability to add third-party click and impression trackers. Third-party click trackers can be submitted as the landing page, so long as creative click through to the landing page. Third-party impression trackers, the Pixel must pass the following technical checks: Pixel ad server is approved by Facebook. Facebook accepts most main ad servers, such as DoubleClick, Atlas, MediaMind. Pixel is secure (https, not http) and has a valid SSL/TLS certificate. Pixel is a 1 x 1 image Pixel does not drop more than one cookie and the size of the cookie is less than 1024 characters (1KB). Pixel redirects onlly to pull down the 1 x 1 image and from the same domain as the pixel.
