They will help to ensure the success of your advertorial and assist you in creating an editorial feel for your advertising. Your advertorial pages are layed out and designed by California Real Estate magazine as part of the service. * If the advertorial will not include a photo, you may opt to include a short pull quote instead of extending the body text slightly. Advertorial text must be submitted via e-mail (as a Word or other text file) by the published deadline. Note that trademarks (™), register marks (®), etc. will be utilized only in their first instance in an advertorial. California Real Estate magazine will not incorporate graphic elements such as banners, starbursts, etc. in the advertorial or underline words or product names, or use all caps or callouts. No logos, branding, prices, or other evidence of advertising accepted within copy. Advertorial copy cannot imply product endorsement by the magazine or C.A.R. 1. copy requirements Advertorial copy may be written and submitted by the advertiser. If preferred, the advertiser may alternatively work with the Publisher to create the advertorial copy together. After booking your advertorial, our production manager will be in touch to find out how you would like to proceed. two-page Body Text: About 300 words Headline: Up to 7 words Pull Quote*: 10 words Body Text: About 500 words Headline: Up to 15 words Pull Quote*: 17 words Are You A Seniors Real Estate Specialist®?

In order to maximize your advertising reach, we recommend staying away from Flash technology if at all possible. 10. flash requirements a. General Flash Requirements i. Flash ads are accepted only as .swf files with a mandatory “click-through” tag in the file (see section d below for details.) ii. Do not hard-code the click URL within the Flash ad itself. iii. Please use ActionScript 2.0. iv. Must be compatible with Flash version 9. b. Please ensure your Flash ad is fully functional prior to submission. c. Backup Images i. Click-through URL, original Flash files, and static gif or jpeg images MUST be provided with submission of Flash ads. These files are used as a fallback feature when user technologoy does not support Flash. d. Click Tags Problems with Flash creative may result from incorrect clickTAG implementation. To troubleshoot, please ensure: i. The clickTAG variable is properly implemented in the action of the button. ii. iii. iv. The ActionScript with clickTAG is associated with the button that the user clicks, and not with any other button. In the getURL() function of the action, specify the click-through URL as ‘clickTAG’ and the target window as “_blank”. The button associated with the ActionScript containing the clickTAG should be: ■■ on the topmost layer through the timeline ■■ extended throughout the entire frame ■■ applied to all existing frames e. Scripts i. Minimize script whenever possible to avoid a potential slowdown in delivery. ii. The following ActionScript is MANDATORY; it allows C.A.R. to easily update the URL if necessary and enables our ad server to track clicks more accurately. iii. Create an invisible button covering the entire area of the creative and assign the action script to the button. iv. Please use this exact script: on (release) { if (clickTAG.substr(0,5) == “http:” | | clickTAG. substr(0,6) == “https:”) { getURL(clickTAG, “_blank”); } } f.
