Banner and Super Banner
Simple, effective and useable anywhere
Description
In order to make it easier for advertising customers to place ads, the
Super Banner has been defined as a standard ad within the Universal
Ad Package (UAP).
Both the Banner and the Super Banner are integrated at the upper
edge of the screen. They link to one of the advertiser's online specials
or to the advertiser's own online presence. The only difference is the
size.
Both ads provide plenty of room for creativity and extensive
information. They can be animated, streamed or booked as an
expandable version.

Baseboard Ad
Always in visible areas thanks to "sticky effect"
Description
The Baseboard Ad is fixed in position at the lower edge of the browser.
It is 90 px tall and can extend up to the entire width of the browser
(min. 728 px wide). In addition, it has a background color fill. It does not
expand. Its unusual, innovative placement means that the Baseboard
Ad can subtly connect the user with the advertising message, which is
permanently visible (including a Close button).

an emotional appeal

Billboard Ad
Large-area means of advertising with prominent placement
Description
The Billboard Ad is positioned directly below the navigation function of
a website and may extend over the entire width of its content. That
makes it particularly prominent because it becomes a part of the
content of the page to dramatically grab people’s attention. Normally,
this advertising does not extend to the edge of the site. However,
wherever requested we can insert a customised background
coloration to make it fill up the entire page span. There is also the
option of integrating streaming content without an added price.
USP
•
a real eye-catcher because of its exclusive location in the content
•
offers a lot of room for creativity and emotive advertising

•

Dynamic Sitebar Ad
A dynamic adaptation to the screen size ensures large-scale branding
Description
The Dynamic Sitebar Ad is placed to the right of the content and is
thus directly positioned in the visible area of the page. The advertising
format dynamically adjusts to the screen size and the “sticky effect”
ensures that the ad stays in the user’s range of vision even when
scrolling up or down the page.
This guarantees optimal display of the advertisement and makes sure
that your entire advertising message is in the user’s vision field at all
times.
USP
The sticky effect ensures that the advertisement is constantly in the
visible area, and due to the dynamic adjustment to the screen size, the
entire ad always remains in the user’s field of vision.
Specifications
•
Size in pixels: 300 x 600 (scalable)
•
For the ad, a minimum scaling factor (for legibility purposes, e.g.
50% of the original size) should be specified, and if applicable, a
maximum scaling factor (as a quality threshold for pixel graphics
contained in the ad) should be defined as well.
•
Maximum capacity: 80 KB
•
Format: Flash

Delivery of the ad: physical, redirects after checking

Expandable Ad
The Expandable Ad makes standard ads larger and guarantees the highest possible profile for advertising messages
Description
Are you looking for more space to convey your message?
The Expandable Ad expands a standard advertisement. When a user
opens the web page, the ad stretches out and shows the user your
animation, short ad spot or extra text before reverting to its original
size. Both the expansion and the short layering of content draw a large
portion of the user’s attention to your advertising message.
USP
Gives you plenty of flexibility to convey your advertising message in an
innovative way.
Draws the greatest possible attention from users due to the foldout

Fireplace
A means of advertising with great scope for creative design
Description
The Fireplace is an exclusive advertising format that is especially well
suited for branding, image campaigns and product launch campaigns.
It involves a combination of Wallpaper and Wide Skyscraper formats
along the left edge of the screen, and it is placed exclusively on the
homepage or in selected headers.
The page's editorial content is not left-justified as usual, but instead is
placed in the center. This allows the advertising customer to
prominently frame the editorial content for a defined booking period,
or to shape an entire website with its brand’s Corporate Design.
USP
•
Also available with videos or pushdown ads
•
Especially effective because part of the left-hand side of the
screen is integrated into the advertising surface
•
Innovative advertising format
•
Visible presentation, with plenty of room for creative campaigns
Specifications
The Fireplace is an exclusive advertising format. Due to the size of our
portfolio, technical specifications can only be provided on an
individual basis and upon request.
The technical specifications for our verticals, Netzathleten.de,
Gesündernet.de, Entertainweb.de and Businessandmore.de, can be

Flash Layer
Space for creative advertising messages in directly visible areas
Description
With Flash Layer, there are almost no limits to creating and planning
advertising messages. It allows for highly flexible, large-format
designs that are highly visible because they cover the content of the
website. It has a transparent background, so the navigation panel
remains visible.
Animation can be used to change the placement of the Flash-based
ad in the browser window. The advertising message follows the visual
stimulus and elicits a positive response. This allows Flash Layers to be
used effectively for branding campaigns.
Unlike a normal Flash Layer, the Universal Flash Layer has a standardsize visible surface specially developed for the German market, which
facilitates production and delivery. It is layered over the content when
a website is called up. The advertisement must be completely
programmed in Flash.
•
JAVASCRIPT SHOULD NOT be used.
•
NO redirects should be used.
•
The background SHOULD NOT be transparent.

Close button should be clearly recognizable as such, not part of
the transparent background, and positioned at the top right in the
immediate vicinity of the ad! Function call to close the layer:
FSCommand(adlayerhider)
Additional notes on toggo.de:
•
With toggo.de, we always need to have the ads as physical Flash (.
swf) files.
•
The following call must be integrated into the topmost level of the
ad: on (release) { getURL (clickTag, clickTarget); }
•
When programming the Flash Layer, please use the Javascript
function adlayerhider() so that it runs after the ad plays once.
•
When programming and designing the Flash Layer, please do not
use the Advertisement and Close buttons/notifications; we will
automatically add these later.
•
NO SOUND should be included.

expands to a height of 280 pixels (or even up to 400 pixels, subject to
an additional charge) and therefore provides tremendous scope for
creative implementation. The integration of a video clip as standard
(start via expansion per click/mouseover) allows the emotional effect
of moving images to be utilised in an extraordinary manner to promote
the advertising message. Furthermore, the permanently visible Close
Button guarantees high user acceptance of this means of advertising.

Offers plenty of room for creativity and advertising messages with
an emotional appeal

Always in the user's field of vision (sticky effect)

screen branding*, and expandable Wallpaper that spreads out as soon
as the mouse rolls over the ad.

Conditions for advance notice periods and deliveries
Find out what you need to take into consideration when delivering advertising materials and
determining the advance notice needed.
Deliveries
When delivering advertising materials, please always include the following:
• Customer name
• Name of customer's campaign
• Booking period
• Booked site
• Placement on the site
• Ad format
• Flash version
• Size and weight of the motif
• Click URL
• Contact partner for questions
• Alt text (optional)
• JavaScript functions used
• Ad server used (modifiable parameters)
• Name of motif (optional)
Please send your ads, incuding the above listed information, to banner[at]ip-deutschland.de.
Advance notice
Because of the increased integration costs, we need 5 days' advance notice before the start of a campaign using Rich
Media advertising formats.
For image files, 3 days' advance notice is sufficient.
Flash and CPU load
The ad cannot affect the CPU load on an average computer by more than 10% according to the current state of
technology.
Ad Types | Technical Specifications | Conditions for advance notice periods and deliveries

The following tips should be taken into consideration when programming an ad.
Frame rate factor:
We recommend following Adobe's suggestion: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_14981
15-18 fps
Complexity factor:
Additional recommendations from Adobe:
Improving Animations: Limit the number of simultaneous tweens. Either reduce the number of tweens or sequence the
animation so that one tween begins when another one ends.
Use transparency (alpha) effects on symbols sparingly because they are CPU intensive. In particular, it is better to avoid
tweening symbols with alpha levels that are not fully opaque (less than 100%).
Avoid CPU-intensive visual effects, such as large masks, extensive motion, alpha blending, extensive gradients, and
complex vectors.
Rendering vector ovals and circles is much more memory intensive than rendering quadrangles. Using round and oval
strokes also greatly increases CPU use.
Whenever possible, do not use strokes on your vector shapes because doing so increases the number of rendered lines.
As a general rule, use bitmaps for small, complex images (such as icons) and vector graphics for larger and simpler
ones.
Import bitmap graphics at the size that they will be used in the application. Importing large graphics and scaling them
down in Flash wastes file size and runtime memory.

Notes on 3rd-party redirects
Please note the following information if you are using 3rd-party redirects.
Acceptable ad formats
All standardized ad formats and ad technologies can be delivered through a 3rd-party ad server. Fundamentally, the
following technical requirements for 3rd-party ads must be fulfilled.
Links
Links must open a new window; they are activated via getURL and clicktags.
Redirect technology
It must be possible to transfer a redirect URL, and it must be documented in such a way that the marketer can also
count clicks.
Delivery format
The tag should be delivered as a TXT file in IFRAMESCRIPTNOSCRIPT format. Please ensure that each version of the tag
can also be used alone, since a combination of iFrame and script cannot always be used. iFrame tags cannot be used
with Flash Layers.
Variables to be replaced
It is absolutely necessary to indicate which variables in the tag can and will be replaced, and how. This includes
positioning, click tracking, transferring ad server macros, etc.
Flash
Flash ads must be logged in with the necessary identifying scripts. It is not absolutely necessary to set up a fallback
image.
Necessary parameters for Flash ads
Wmode:
The wmode parameter must be set. For all Flash Layer ads, wmode must be set to transparent. For all other ad formats,
it must be set to opaque.
Background color
Every Flash film should have a background color, or else a default setting will be used. This is not necessary for Layer
ads.
Reloading Flash
Flash ads that dynamically reload the advertising image from an external server - even if it is only part of the image cannot exceed the maximum total of 80kb (max. 40kb physically on the ad server and 40kb reloaded from an external
server). In every case, there must be a fallback image in the SWF that will stand in for the reloading ad if the connection
to the external server fails. Inquiries about video streams within the ad will be answered on an individual basis,
according to the target platform.
3rd-party secure server for Flash
When using Flash on HTTPS pages, CODEBASE and PLUGINSPAGE must be omitted; otherwise the user will receive a
warning about unsafe elements on the site.
Ad Types | Technical Specifications | Notes on 3rd-party redirects
41
Flash Layers via 3rd-party use
Positioning
Positioning depends on the content area defined by the marketer. The marketer determines the position (the same as
for ads without 3rd parties). Positioning is defined by passing the variable definition in JavaScript.
JavaScript version
Passing variables takes place through the variables adlayer_x and adlayer_y.
Tag version
When the tag is delivered, it must document which information in the tag will be used for positioning, e.g. xp=value and
yp=value.
The options are different depending on the ad server, and should be requested from the provider.
Unique IDs
All of the elements must have unique IDs. This applies both to the ads themselves and to other objects that are used in
conjunction with the ads. If there are multiple objects, they must be numbered consecutively - for instance
adlayerobject1, etc.
The following are standardized:
Object ID: For the Flash object, id=adlayerobject
Div ID: When accepting a provided division, id=adlayerdiv
Z index
The Z index for a provided division must be set to a value of 900.
Visibility
When providing divisions, the marketer must control the visibility. As with positioning, this must involve passing
variables. The chosen variable must be communicated at the time of delivery.
visibility: +adlayervis+
FSCommand
The necessary functions must be activated through FSCommand. The necessary scripts must be provided via the
redirect.
Special ad formats via 3rd parties
• A Redirect Tag tracking pixel and a Redirect URL can be provided for all non-standardized formats (special ad
formats).
• Audio: Ads delivered via redirect cannot include audio.
• Size and weight: must meet the specifications for individual ads.
3rd party and JavaScript
• Variable names and functions must be clearly identified. This is important in order to avoid complications with other
JavaScript Includes. We recommend always working with your own identification system, e.g. a company code.
• Your own functions must be communicated when the ads are delivered! Function names must be unique. It makes
sense to have a company code in the function name in order to avoid overlaps with functions on the site.
• JavaScript cannot influence the functionality of the site. Any fade-ins/fade-outs of form fields must be discussed in
advance and must be communicated upon delivery!
• Browsers/operating systems cannot be excluded through a 3rd-party redirect. This can only be controlled via the
publisher ad server, and must be clarified when making inquiries about availability.
• Frequency Cap: Must fundamentally be controlled by the publisher ad server.
• ime-based modulation: Must fundamentally be controlled by the publisher ad server.
• Bandwidth targeting: Must be discussed in advance! Controlling only one bandwidth via a 3rd party is not permitted!
Ad Types | Technical Specifications | Notes on 3rd-party redirects
42
Pop-up, pop-under and full-screen interstitials
• For redirect deliveries of ads that are opened in a new browser instance, only the ad itself can be delivered via the
redirect. The new browser instance cannot be delivered via the redirect.
• Pop-up blockers, especially those offered through the Windows XP Servicepack II, are becoming more and more
common. The general opinion is that this ad format will sooner or later disappear from the market entirely. Since it is
impossible to tell whether a user is surfing the web with a blocker, and if so which blocker, some booked orders may
not be able to be carried out.
• An alternative ad cannot be set.
Reporting differences
• Please note that deliveries via redirect will fundamentally always involve counting differences, due to technical
reasons. In general, a loss of about 10% can occur for each node. This can result in a loss rate of up to 30% or more
in redirect chains.
• It should be noted that the publisher server's reporting provides the final accounting basis. Once the booked volume
has been reached, the order is considered to be fulfilled even if the agency server's report shows a difference of
approx. 15%.
Cross-browser compatibility
It must be ensured that the ads delivered via redirect can function smoothly on every browser platform.
This must be checked and guaranteed before delivery. For Flash Layers, especially in Mozilla Firefox, performing the
Close function via the FSCommand adlayerhider often causes problems because Firefox applies FSCommands
differently.
If no separate script snippet is available for this browser, the following elements must be used:
• function [moviename]_DoFSCommand(command)
• { FSCommandHandler(command); }
• The movie name is also provided to the Embed Tag as a variable. This ensures communication between the script
and Flash.
Click tracking
• Counting the clicks generated by an ad is an essential measurement tool for all participants. It is the only way for
marketers to create formats based on the relevant figures for click rates for the individual ad formats, and to put
them on the market as a work tool.
• For this reason, many of the large ad servers have already developed ways to count clicks by attaching a specific
parameter to the redirect tag. Please ask your ad server provider if and how such parameters can be transmitted.
Ad Types | Technical Specifications | Notes on 3rd-party redirects

Notes on Flash
For all ads produced in Adobe Flash, the following points must be taken into consideration.
Flash-Version
We recommend using Flash 8 to export the SWF file. Because of a problem with the combination of the Flash 10 plug-in
and IE 7 when the pop-up blocker is activated, we advise against exports using an earlier version.
Ad-click tracking method
• The click tag method is the uniform standard
• In order to avoid problems with pop-up blockers in IE 7, the export version must be 8 or higher.
Target window
The window should be integrated as a clicktarget variable.
Functions (action scripts)
Via FSCommand
Other necessary information
• Flash version
• Information about action scripts (if applicable)
• Click URL
Audio
No automatic audio can be included. Sound can only start up after an explicit user interaction (onClick, e.g. on a
speaker symbol), and the user must also be able to turn it off. The sound cannot start up during an onMouseOver event.
Click tags (clickTag, clicktag)
Click tags are a variable that allow you to attach the customer's click URL or deep link to the SWF from the outside. In
Flash itself, the clicktag must be given as an expression for getURL. The buttons must be located on the top level.
clicktag should be lower-case. The link is no longer fixed in the Flash program.
Example:
Ad Types | Technical Specifications | Notes on Flash
44
Detailed information for the ActionScript versions:
ActionScript 2.0:
on (release) {
getURL(_root.clickTag, _blank);
}
ActionScript 3.0:
[instance name of the clickable area].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickTagHandler);
function clickTagHandler(evt:MouseEvent) {
var url:String = ;
if (LoaderInfo(root.loaderInfo).parameters.clickTag) {
url=LoaderInfo(root.loaderInfo).parameters.clickTag;
}
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
try {
navigateToURL(request, '_blank');
}
catch (e:Error) {
}
}
Click target
Defines how the link will open the ad. This value must also be passed as a variable from Flash. This allows you, for
instance, to externally control when the target will come up in a pop-up. Instead of setting this directly in Flash, the
variable clicktarget (lower-case) is given as an expression.
Example:
Information about FSCommand
• FSCommand works with VB Script and is used for passing a function from Flash. It is subject to fewer errors than the
common getURL. Not defined as an expression!
• All of the necessary scripts that FSCommand will initiate from the pages must be provided and communicated when
the Flash ad is delivered.
Example:
Ad Types | Technical Specifications | Notes on Flash
45
Advance notice
Because of the increased integration costs, we need 5 days' advance notice before the start of a campaign using Rich
Media advertising formats. In order to carry out any necessary modifications without significant costs, we recommend
also providing the *.fla program file. In this case, it is recommended that text elements be converted to symbols or that
the selected font be included.

Notes on JavaScript
Please note the following information if you are using JavaScript.
Basic information
Please ensure that any variable names or functions are clearly identified. This is important in order to prevent
complications with other JavaScript Includes. We recommend always working with your own code - e.g. a company
code.
Your own functions must be communicated when the ads are delivered! Function names must be unique. It makes
sense to have a company code in the function name in order to avoid overlaps with functions on the site.
JavaScript cannot influence the functionality of the site. Any fade-ins/fade-outs of form fields must be discussed in
advance and must be communicated upon delivery!
