Ad Specifications
Ad specifications (or
ad specs) are requirements for an ad. Each website has a different specification for each of the ad placement. For example: for paying visitors, you only want static ad images while regular visitors can view animated GIF files.
Ad Dimension
The width and height of an ad. Text link would not have a dimension. Expandable ad would have 2 dimensions: one regular dimension and one expanded dimension. AdSpeed Ad Server can support all standard and customized dimensions.
Maximum File Size
The maximum file size is in bytes, kilobytes (Kbytes), or megabytes (Mbytes). The larger the file, the longer it takes your visitors to download and view the ad. It is suggested that the file be as small as possible for a positive browsing experience with your website. For image files (GIF, JPG, PNG), we recommend 50Kbytes per image. For Flash files, we recommend 100Kb per file.
Animation
GIF, SWF/Flash files support animation and more dynamic interactions. An animated GIF file can loop through the animation and begin several more times. Therefore, an animated GIF with 4 loop counts repeat the same sequence of animation 4 times and stop at the last image frame. We do not have a limit on the number of loops but you might want to set one for aesthetic control.
Expandable Ad
An
expandable ad can take up a small space when it initially loads but expands to a larger area upon a click or a hovering of your mouse over the ad.
