HOW
- IAB SLIDER TO GUIDE
This publisher document explains how to traffic an IAB Rising Star Slider ad in ZEDO.
Terminology : IAB SLIDER • Slider Bar: The floating banner that appears initially at the bottom of the page. • Slider Bar Active Ad Content: The area within the Slider Bar that can be used for branding. (The gutters may not be safe areas for branding because of different window sizes and display resolutions.) • Slider Content: The full ad area that is pushed in from the side
How It Works • Ad loads anchored to the bottom of the page. • Mouseover or click triggers the publisher page to slide to the left, revealing the Slider Content on the right. • For video files [mp4, flv] as the expanded unit, users can mouse over the ad for sound and click to view the ad full screen.
Prerequisites • Flash files must be created per the IAB Style guide: http://www.iab.net/media/file/IAB_Slider_Specs_Final.pdf
Implementation 1. Generate custom ad code 2. Traffic ad code 3. Generate ad tag 4. Place ad tag on publisher page or run in 3rd party ad server
