Hmm thanks for your advice. I’m thinking about advertising and your notes on banner ads and actual images sizes is quite useful for my project.

Thanks for this. It is a bit shocking to see your add all squished on someone’s site.

The banner sizes is really a pain. I’ve followed your instrucitons above and also saw the post on google for the sizes. Every time I try to submit an ad in these sizes I get an error stating that it is an incorrect size.

So, I create my ad’s in the size you indicate above ant then stretch it vertically to the correct size. So it looks out of wack. Then when google shrinks it, it looks right.

Google needs to fix this!!

Nick, you are right. Problem is, they only accept the ancient ActionScript 2.0 standard. Of course, the SWF doesn’t HAVE to be animated after all…

even better, sometimes google will give the ad to doubleclick and doubleclick uses the IAB standard sizes, so they will stretch your 300×239 rectangle back to 300×250.

the solution is to give google .swf files instead of images.
