Ad Design Suggestions:
Remember that higher quality artwork & website = greater response to your Ad. Please consider the following tips:
1.) Ask us for the frame size (ex: 468×60 pixels) and file size (ex: 119 KB) of your chosen ad type.
2.) Stay simple. Communicate your message quickly and efficiently.
3.) If using photographic images, choose a single-frame (static) ad in .jpg format for best results.
4.) If animating, generally keep your ad to 6 frames or less.
5.) If animating, a standard time setting for each frame is 2.5 seconds to 3 seconds.
6.) Optimize your file size. If you are still over our file size limits, try reducing the number of frames, number of colors, and avoid animations with complex photography.
