IMPORTANT INFORMATION

• Provide linking URL, Alt text and rotation instructions for each ad unit. All artwork must be accompanied by alternative text. Alt text should be no more than 50 characters (spaces included).
• All ads, including third-party ads, MUST be tested for approval.
• Longer lead-times are required for copy rotations of more than five ads per month.
• Shockwave Flash banners must be created using the clickTag format.
• HTML sniffer code must be implemented in order to detect whether a user’s browser is capable of displaying the Shockwave Flash file. A back-up banner should be displayed if the user cannot accept Shockwave Flash. VERYBEST.COM will not approve HTML sniffer codes, which prompt the user to download a plug-in. A back-up banner is required for all rich media ads.
• In order to track clicks on forms, “method=get” must be used. (Forms with “method=post” can run through DART, however clicks cannot be tracked.)
