Standard sizes?

• Does anyone know why most web banner ads are 468 * 60 pixels? Tjwood 16:13, 2 May 2004 (UTC)

Tjwood, 468x60 is a standard some organization created. And most everyone in the online advertising industry followed. There are other common standardized sizes too. --Charles Iliya Krempeaux

• If I have made a banner advertising my homepage, and this banner is shown on another homepage without my consent, is there anything to do about that? do I "own" the design which I have created? /marxmax

marxmax, if you created it. Then you own the copyright. (Assuming that you didn't use someone else's copyrighted material.) Therefore, you could take legal action. You might try and just ask them not to use it, first, though. --Charles Iliya Krempeaux

• Approximately how many clicks does a banner ad recieve per view? --Taejo | Talk 16:37, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

• That depends on the ad's placement, how interesting the ad is, whether it's viewed by the right demographic groups, whether the product appears to be something people want, .... Advertising is a complicated science. NeonMerlin 23:34, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

World's First Banner Ad

• To whomever maintains this page: You might want to include: The Internet's First Banner Ad - There should probably be a connection with the "punch the monkey" series of banners, as well. LionKimbro

(suggestion for) Standard sizes

The Interactive Advertising Bureau has released a set of sizes which it has designed to make ad sizing more predictable and better for both consumer and producer. It calls these web advertisements "interactive marketing units". The sizes are as follows (measurements in pixels ): Sizes for rectangular/pop-up ads

NAME	width px	height px	width cm	height cm
Medium Rectangle	300	250
Square Pop-Up	250 square
Vertical Rectangle	240	400
Large Rectangle	336	280
Rectangle	180	150

Sizes for banner/button ads

NAME	width	height
Full Banner	468	60
Half Banner	234	60
Micro Button	80	15
Micro Bar	88	31
Button 1	120	90
Button 2	120	60
Vertical Banner	120	240
Square Button	125 square
Leaderboard	728	90
Sizes for "skyscraper" ads
Wide Skyscraper	160	600
Skyscraper	120	600
Half Page Ad	300	600

The IAB has also further standardized four of the sizes (Medium Rectangle, Rectangle, Leaderboard, Wide Skyscraper) into a set of guidelines it calls the "Universal Ad Package".

Ad Blocking

If I don't want Skyscraper ads, I just hide them with my window. Or I just turn off Flash and...

Sobbing :-(

I was actually the first who thought of adding an actual graphic example of a web banner to this page - and a stylish one at that - and now you guyz have dumped it for some boring "in-bred" wiki banner.

Link-spamming recidivist

How does one flag someone for that? The 216.186.157.73 contribs page says it all really.
Who is this joker 216.186.157.73 anyway?
Wit 16:27, 12 December 2006 (UTC) [Hello! We are really sorry for that accident. We are really NOT a spamming company. How can we contact a person what could help us deal with that problem and to explain how to get out from the blacklist? What can we do for that? Please help.]

Oversize ads

On YouTube, there are now ads which have invisible boundaries extending over all of the page header so that a click to somewhere like the search bar is considered an ad click. Is this a new type of banner ad? --ÆAUSSIEevilÆ 00:17, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

I'm not sure what you're referring to here. Explain further? --Dan Leveille^TALK 20:43, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Dimension Standards (Width x Height)

I don't have a source on this, but it seems that the industry standard implies listing the dimensions for an image as "Width x Height". The examples listed here have the dimensions listed as "Height x Width". A minor issue indeed, but one worth fixing. Is there a reason for the 'backwards' convention used here? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.31.194.150 (talk) 17:06, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Good idea. I missed that. I fixed it now. Thanks --Dan Leveille^TALK 18:20, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Free Creative Commons Photoshop template and tips

Would it be appropriate to link to an external site that contains a free Photoshop PSD template with all standard as sizes including the UAP, as well as tips on the most effective uses of web banner ads? It's a creative commons license but I don't want to link to it if it would be regarded as spam.
