TripAdvisor may restrict certain industries or clients from advertising on the site: o No competitive advertisers are allowed (e.g. Fodors, Frommers, Zagat, etc.). o Advertising for meta-search sites (kayak, etc.) in the travel and hotel space will also not be allowed. o Decisions about non-travel advertising without a travel tie-in will be determined on a case-by-case basis as will advertising for other review or list sites. No advertising materials that are indecent, illegal, misleading, harmful, abusive, harassing, libelous, defamatory, or other offensive materials are allowed on the site. No advertisements that simulate TripAdvisor's editorial matter in appearance or style, or that are not readily identifiable as advertisements will be allowed on the site. TripAdvisor does not restrict any colors within advertisements; however creative could be rejected if it seems to mimic the colors, functionality, content or look/feel of the TripAdvisor site or brand. This also applies to creative that may be mistaken for TripAdvisor content such as lists, or Wiki-type functionality. Advertisers may not use the words "trip" and "advisor" or "advice" in a way that capitalizes on the TripAdvisor name or brand. No "flashy", "blinking" or "game" style ads ("punch the monkey"). No advertising for gambling, prescription drugs, tobacco, religion, politics, guns or sexually explicit themes will be accepted. TripAdvisor reserves the right to reject creative or request revision if the content or design of the ad deems to be unsuitable for the site or negatively impact user experience.
