Advertising Philosophy
Ads should contribute to and be consistent with the overall user experience. Thus, we are committed to protecting our user experience by keeping the site clean, consistent, and free from misleading advertising.
Landing pages / Destination URLs:
1. Ads containing a URL or domain in the body must link to that same URL or domain.
2. Ads must send users to the same landing page when the ad is clicked.
3. Landing pages cannot generate a pop-up (including “pop-overs” and “pop-unders”) when a user enters or leaves the page.
4. Landing pages cannot use “fake” close behavior (ie. when a user clicks the ‘close’ icon on the page, the page should close down and no other behavior should result).
5. Landing pages cannot utilize “mouse trapping” whereby the advertiser does not allow users to use their browser “back button” and traps them on their site and/or present any other unexpected behavior (for example: navigation to another ad or page).
6. Ads cannot require viewers to click on the ad to submit Personally Identifiable Information (such as name, date of birth, phone numbers, social security number, physical addresses, or email addresses) on the landing page or in the ad, except to enable an e-commerce transaction and where the ad and landing page clearly indicate that a product is being sold.
Ad Content:
1. Ads must directly relate to the content on the landing page.
2. Ads must clearly represent the company, product, or brand that is being advertised. Products or services promoted in the ad must be directly available on the landing page.
3. Ads must not include unsubstantiated claims, including but not limited to prices, discounts or product availability.
4. Ads cannot insult, harass, or threaten a user.
5. Ads must not contain audio that plays automatically, without a user’s interaction. Any automated animation must cease after 15 seconds and must not replay.
Prohibited Content:
1. Ads must not be false, misleading, fraudulent, or deceptive.
2. Ads will not be permitted in cases where a business model or practice is deemed unacceptable or contrary to our overall advertising philosophy.
3. Ads, or categories of ads, which receive a significant amount of negative user feedback, or are otherwise deemed in violation of community standards will not be permitted.
