For online buyers’ guides, magazine microsites and association-hosted websites
Naylor Ad Specifications for Association Websites
Standard Specs
- Advertiser supplies the ad, or Naylor can create the ad unless otherwise noted for certain ad positions below.
- Creative accepted: JPG or GIF
- We accept third-party tags (click-tracking tags) through the following means:
- Javascript tags
- Must have complete image path name and complete URL destination (double-check URL for accuracy).
- HTML5 tags
- Images and any Javascript supplemental files must be served from the advertiser/agency’s server. All files should be supplied with the HTML5 file.
- Due to existing website code, testing will be necessary to ensure the HTML5 option will successfully populate.
- Please note: While we can accommodate the use of 3rd party tags on website display advertising campaigns running through our ad server for the purpose of impression and click tracking visibility, we base all ad campaign performance (including impressions and clicks) by what is reported in our ad server, Google Ad Manager. Google Ad Manager proactively filters invalid traffic from its reporting. We cannot abide by individual traffic requirements set by 3rd party tag providers for any served ad campaigns, and will not monitor campaign performance by external platforms outside of our ad server.
- Movie files are NOT accepted for banner advertising. No MP4, AVI, MOV, etc. (See exclusions applying to premier listings below.)
- Max file size 100KB
- File must be created/saved in RGB color mode. (Most digital graphics and photos are already in RGB mode; check this by viewing the file properties.)
- File must be a minimum 72 dpi.
- Animation must be no longer than 25 seconds. This includes multiple loops.
- Animation should stop on the last frame OR a stop action will be applied. No continuous loops.
- Font size should be a minimum of 10 pts for legibility purposes depending on the font family.
Due to recent changes in online advertising standards, we no longer accept Flash-based (.SWF) ads.
