Creative guidelines

  • All click through urls must open in a new browser window or tab
  • AdHub reserves the right to reject any insertion, graphic, text description, or URL
  • Ads may not employ rapid/"strobing" animation of any graphic, copy, or background elements(s)
  • Ads should not replicate or mimic computer error messages
  • Ads should not have messaging designed to mislead members into going to a site that is unrelated to the content of the banner ad
  • Banners should be encased in a border and distinct from the content. If borderless, a banner must contain the advertiser’s name to signify that it is an ad creative banner, not content
  • Television and print advertising standards prohibit advertisers from issuing ads, infomercials, or infotisements in such a manner that the viewer or reader believes the content is news, rather than advertising. AdHub standards also follow this policy
  • AdHub properties may not be used to imply affiliation with or an endorsement by any AdHub product, content, or service — unless such a relationship exists
