General guidelines
The advertiser is responsible for the
functionality and design of all creative units.
Ads that interfere or cause technical
problems for the visitors will be taken offline immediately.
Maximum frame rate of SWF is 18
frames/sec (fps)
All creative units must stay within the
assigned ad area. The recommendation is
to use clearly visible borders framing the ad.
A creative using sound requires a start and
stop button to be implemented. The sound
must be muted on start and must be
activated by the user. It is not allowed to
start playing sound using so called mouseover.
Creative units can consist of Flash movies
(SWF), picture files (GIF/JPG/PNG) and/or
in-line HTML.
Links (URLs) must be opened in a new
browser window: target="_blank".
SvD.se uses the EmediateAd ad
management system.
All creative units must be delivered no later
than three working days prior to campaign
start. Failure to deliver creative in time may
result in delayed campaign start. The
delivery must be complete, that is, all
relevant links and campaign information be
submitted.
Advertisers that have creative requirements
or ideas that are not covered by this
specification are welcome to contact
SvD.se. We are more than willing to accept
and test new creative solutions. However,
we must have the possibility to verify that
all creative units comply with our editorial
and technical requirements. Any subject not
covered in this specification is considered to
be a non-standard creative and will require
special attention by SvD.se.
Flash ads
The Flash format is the rich media ad standard of Internet today. Flash
has opened up completely new possibilities in creative solutions. SvD.se
supplies a so called sniff code for Flash detection. This code determines
what Flash plug-in is in use and delivers a back-up ad (a GIF/JPG/PNGfile) in the event that the Flash plug-in is missing. Use clickTAG for
linking the Flash file, it will be used to measure clicks and it also enables
changing URL in an active campaign without assistance of the creative
producer.
Use on(release) instead of on(press) in order to avoid pop-up
blocking.
Supply a back-up ad in GIF/JPG/PNG-format. It will be displayed to
the visitors lacking Flash plug-in or has an outdated version.
Maximum frame rate is 18 frames/sec
Convert any clickable object to ”Button” type
Add the following action:
Creative units are displayed using quality=autohigh. This may have
a negative effect on CPU intensive ads for example anti-aliasing on
text and image quality may be degraded.
on(release){
getURL(_root.clickTAG, "_blank")
}
It is not permitted to start playing sound automatically or by using
so called mouse-over. If sound is going to be used be sure to
implement a pause button.
If multiple clickTAG are required name them accordingly:
_root.clickTAG, _root.clickTAG1, _root.clickTAG2, _root.clickTAG3 etc.
It is not permitted to include creative material from external
sources! Included sound or image files or streaming content may
only be used if agreed upon prior to campaign start.
If a close button is required
Add the following action:
on(release){
getURL(_root.closeTAG, "_self")
}

Creative units placed in editorial parts of the site may not use
JavaScript onfocus events.
Monitor the CPU intensity levels!
Image ads (GIF/JPG/PNG)
GIF and JPG are file formats commonly used for image files on the
Internet. GIF and PNG are suitable for creative based on graphical
elements, text and basic colours.
It is possible to animate the GIF file format. There are no special
requirements for the image files apart from current restrictions on
dimensions and weight limitations. However, it is not permitted to
use images that mimic or resemble the SvD.se framework.
JavaScript
The general rule is that all creative functionality should be contained in
the Flash Ad. However, there are cases where it can be an advantage to
use external JavaScript. All JavaScript must be thoroughly tested by the
ad producer. SvD.se does not have the possibility to test and correct
faulty JavaScript code. Code that causes problems will be removed from
the site immediately.
Make your own prefix and place it in front of variable- and function
names. For example: mycompany_myFunction(); or
mycompany_myString = ”string”;. This, in order to prevent conflicts
with other ads or the code implemented by SvD.se.
It is not permitted to script objects outside of the assigned ad area.
Newsletter
The newsletter is comprised of editor material and is sent to
subscribers with regular intervals. There are two creative units that
can be included into a newsletter.
Dimensions and weight limitations:
Top 660x100 px (35kB)
Only GIF or JPG formats are allowed and the consequence being that
third party impression counting is not available. However, third party
click counting is available.
Interstitial
An Interstitial is placed in a layer on-top of the site and will partly cover
the content. An Interstitial must contain a clearly visible close button
and furthermore the layer must close itself automatically after 8
seconds.
For the close button
Add the following action:
on(release){
getURL(_root.closeTAG, "_self")
}
Dimensions and weight limitations:
svd.se
Interstitial 1000x600 px (65KB) that must close itself automatically
after 8 seconds.
Please advice the guidelines for Flash Ads above.
Mobile
Mobile is the creative format used for the mobile services on SvD.se.

First page/Splash
The Splash at SVD.se is a full page ad that appears to the visitor before
coming to SVD's homepage. The ad must be produced as a scalable
flash together with an associated gif or jpg backup ad. What must be
included is a box consisting of an RSS feed with SVD's latest news and a
“close” button. The box is provided by Svenska Dagbladet who sends it
to the agency who is about to produce the ad. The Production Office
integrates the feed into the advertiser's ad.
Flash (version 9 or earlier in AS2):

When your ad appears, the visitor can choose to either move on to
SVD.se by clicking on a link in the SVD-box, or click anywhere else in the
ad to get to the advertiser's landing page.
This ad solution opens up creative solutions where the box with the
RSS feed can be placed anywhere on the page. The ad works in most
operating systems and most browsers.
Backup-ad:

In the ad itself, under or over the RSS feed, there should be a text that reads "Detta är en
annons från [the advertiser]. Vidare till SvD” and SvD:s logo. This text, and the logo
should link to http://www.svd.se with target “_self”.
The close button should be placed in the upper left corner, but must only be a link to the
SvD homepage http://www.svd.se with target “_self”.
Third pary tracking can be done by tracking pixel.
The backup ad needs to have a slightly different appearance because of the lack of RSS feed functionality.
Instead of the RSS feed, an image needs to be inserted together with the Svenska Dagblade logo together with and the text ”För de senaste
nyheterna – Gå vidare till SvD” This image is provided by Svenska Dagbladet, together with other material for the RSS feed.

Recommendations for web advertising
Keep the deadlines in mind the ad department has a lot to do and does
not always have the possibility to assist in the last minute.
Monitor performance Flash ads quickly become CPU-intensive. The
consequence being that anti-aliasing on text may disappear. Image and
animation quality may deteriorate etc. The worst case scenario is that
the Flash plug-in freezes and hangs the application altogether. Nonfunctioning ads are taken off-line immediately.
The creative is visible the ad placements on SvD.se belong to one of
Sweden’s large ad spaces. Excessive animations and colour schemes
are not needed in order to attract visitors’ attention. On the contrary
they are almost always seen as something irritating or distracting, thus
causing bad will towards advertiser or SvD.se it is far more effective to
focus on the message or offer in order to reach our visitors.
