Flash (.swf) banners: With this type of banner, you need the URL link imbedded into the code -- please use clickTAG standard. Background must be set to a block color. With Flash banners, HBM Online can only track impressions, not clicks. The clicks have to be recorded through the embedded link on your system or ad server.
Size for Banners: 90kb max file size. Contact HBM Online is a larger banner size is required.
Material Changes: You can change or update your banne ad material at any time.
3rd Party Adserver: HBM Online does not usually accept banners from 3rd Party adservers that embed ad server coding into the banner locations. HBM Online will consider running 3rd Party Adserver banners if the banner spot is purchased for "Exclusive Display" (in which case HBM Online will need to test the coding). Contact HBM Online for availability. HBM Online will update new banner ad material regularly, as required for 3rd Party Ad placement agency requirements.
