Image Web Ads Guide

What are Image Web Ads

Image ads are the most common type of display ad. They consist of a single file, minimal animation, and one landing page. Image ads have a background graphic, a business logo, and a call-to-action. We recommend these as an essential part of every campaign.

 

What sizes are recommended for Image Web Ads

We recommend that you have the following six most popular ad sizes, at minimum. The more ad sizes you upload, the more reach your campaign will have and the better it will perform.

How do I troubleshoot my Image Web Ads

There are a couple of items that you can check if you are having issues with your image web ads:

  • Make sure that your logo is on the creative image.
  • The landing page must include a link to the homepage and/or site privacy policy.
  • The destination URL should not redirect to a different website or redirect to a video, for example, a video on Dailymotion or NBS.com.
  • GIF Ads cannot loop endlessly or be longer than 30 seconds.
  • Review our Advertising Policies Guidelines to learn how you can make sure your ads and site are compliant.
