OPA Pushdown Specifications:

  • All Pages (aside from exceptions)

The pushdown ad unit automatically expands downward pushing the site content down with it, expanding creative opportunities and capturing audience attention. The Pushdown unit then auto collapses into a persistent ad on the page which can be expanded by our users for additional information and functionality. The OPA pushdown is 970x66 in its collapsed state and 970x418 expanded. The site can accept the OPA version from any third party vendor.

  • Exceptions
  • Video Clips Pages

The pushdown ad unit is served in a collapsed 970x66 state. Our users must click on the ad unit to initiate expansion to the 970x418 state. Autoexpansion or expansion on mouseover is not permitted.
