They must come as two links: one for viewing the ad, and one for clicking on the ad.) We cannot run rich media (Flash, etc) ads in e-newsletters, only on sites.­

Third Party Tags: Third Party tags are discouraged unless necessary, as they cause impression latency.

Third Party tags for e-newsletter ads cannot be sent to us as html files (such as IFrames). They must come as two links: one for viewing the ad, one for clicking on the ad. Third Party tags for site ads can come to us in either form.
