HispanicBusiness.com Ad Specifications

Supported Placements
HispanicBusiness supports advertising in the following placements:

  • Banner ads

  • Newsletter ads. Note reporting differs substantially for newsletter ads than for banner ads.

  • Classifieds

Supported Media Types
HispanicBusiness will accept the following media types:

  • GIF-formatted images

  • JPEG-formatted images

  • SWF-formatted Macromedia Version 7 or lower Flash files

  • JS client-side script

  • Rich media types including expandable ads such as Pointroll or Eyeblaster (see below for additional specs)

Unsupported Media Types
HispanicBusiness can not support the following media types:

  • HBI-hosted RTSP streams, including Real streams and QuickTime streams

  • Client-side scripted dynamic advertisements which rely on non-standard javascript and which cause pages on which they are served to fail on popular browsers

Tracking
HispanicBusiness strives to be compatible with most third-party ad server tracking methods. This involves a series of redirections pointed to the browser when the content is downloaded, and when the ad is clicked.
HispanicBusiness currently tracks:

  • The number of times an ad is placed over the course of a campaign (impressions). Note: HispanicBusiness does not track the number of times the content of an ad is requested by the browser.

  • The number of times an ad is clicked over the course of a campaign. Note: this tracking is for banner ads only. Other placements may or may not support this tracking. Also, if the ad is hosted by a third party, the amount of tracking that can be relayed from HBI´s server to the third parties, and the amount of tracking that can be relayed from the third party´s server to HBI´s server, is subject to a certain degree of variance.
