Leaderboard and superleaderboard may be supplied as an overlay* or a pushdown** expandable ad.
Pencil ads may only be supplied as a pushdown** expandable.
Ads may only be expanded by a user-initiated action***.
Ads may NOT be expanded by mouse-rollover or on page load.
Ads must display a clearly marked "Close" button that contracts ads to their original dimension.
*Overlay defined: Displays over the webpage content briefly when initiated.
**Pushdown defined: When the ad is expanded, it "pushes" page content down rather than displaying over the top of page content.
***"user-initiated action" defined: User initiation is the willful act of a user to engage with an ad. Users may interact by clicking on an ad and/or rolling over an ad (or a portion of an ad). With respect to user initiation for the purposes of these guidelines, a rollover is defined as a willful pause of the user's cursor on the target portion of the creative (the "hot spot"), such pause lasting at least one-second in duration, before an action may be initiated by the ad (i.e. trigger an expand, etc.). This pause/delay prevents unwanted user-initiated actions and false reporting of user engagement.
Prohibited: Advertisements that contain fraudulent, deceptive or misleading statements or illustrations, or attacks of a personal nature. Advertisements that are overly competitive or that refer abusively to the goods or services of others. Indecent, vulgar, suggestive or other advertising that, in the opinion of MortgageOrb, may be offensive to good taste. Advertisements that fail to comply with the express requirements of federal and state laws. Advertisements that violate copyrights. Advertisements that, in our opinion, simulate MortgageOrb.com Web pages and/or MortgageOrb or editorial matter, or that may be confused with our Web pages and/or news or editorial matter.
