  • To maintain BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY, responsive ads should use PX HEIGHT = TRADITIONAL BANNER SIZES. We could in theory create responsive banners that work with any width or height but that's not practical to build or test. I suggest we stick to a minimum width of 88 pixels and have the following set of standard heights:
    • 31px "micro"
      • micro bar (88 x 31)
    • 60px "button"
      • button 2 (120 x 60)
      • half banner (234 x 60)
      • full banner (468 x 60)
    • 90px "banner"
      • button 1 (120 x 90)
      • leaderboard (728 x 90)
    • 125px "small rectangle"
      • square button (125 x 125)
    • 250px "medium rectangle"
      • vertical banner (120 x 240* Close enough!)
      • square pop-up (250 x 250)
      • medium rectangle (300 x 250)
    • 400px "large rectangle"
      • vertical rectangle (240 x 400)
    • 600px "skyscraper"
      • skyscraper (120 x 600)
      • wide skyscraper (240 x 600)
      • half-page ad (300 x 600)
  • Responsive Ads Benefits:
    • 7 heights <- from conventional 14 banner sizes
    • < 25 kb

  • Recording banner sizes in META tags
    • Responsive ads can be made to support any number of sizes but rather than trawl through the CSS to discover what heights are supported I suggest we record them in a META tag. Here's an example:
      • <meta
      • name="displayheight"
      • content="31, 60, 90, 125, 250, 400, 600" />
