Technical details

Each package uses the same sponsor block. The ad specifications page has the full limits.

• Accepted formats: PNG, JPG, SVG.
• One logo, at most 200 by 100 pixels and 150 KB.
• Headline: at most 70 characters.
• Body: 2 sentences at most, and at most 220 characters.
• One link, and it starts with http:// or https://. The body does not add a second link.
• Alt text is required on the logo, at most 140 characters.
• The block is reviewed before the run date. It does not go on the site or in the letter until that review is done.
• A newsletter sponsor runs in one Friday note. One sponsor per newsletter issue, and its end date is that issue's date. A monthly site sponsor runs in the footer for one calendar month, from its start date through its end date. Limited to 3 monthly sponsors per site, or one exclusive sponsor. A featured listing is labeled Sponsored only on the sites that bought it, through the end date on that site. After that date it stays on the board as a normal listing.
• Short pages, under about 800 words, show one or two sponsor units. A long guide may show up to 4 when the units are spaced apart. No page shows more than 4.
• A sponsor unit is at most 25% of the viewport height. Units are spaced so two do not appear on the same screen.
• The block is labeled Sponsored. It does not take over the page or the letter. A social post for a paid sponsor or listing starts with #ad.
• Before a listing is featured, check which sites include that county. The Sponsored label shows only on the boards named for that placement.
• Not accepted: Full-width banners, Hero takeovers, Background images on the page or in the letter, More than one image, Auto-play video or audio, Animation, Pop-ups.
