This guide outlines how to ensure your landing pages comply with Adxe’s policies on user experience, transparency, and third-party content.
Landing pages are the destination where users arrive after clicking your campaign. They contain your primary content and may include third-party content like advertisements.
All landing pages must adhere to the following Adxe policies:
- Restricted Content, Products, and Services
- Prohibited Content, Products, and Services
These guidelines aren’t exhaustive, and campaigns suspected of potentially harming our publishers or users may be disapproved.
Improving Your Landing Pages
User Experience
Quality:
- Ensure content is well-written, grammatically correct, and free of typos.
- Use high-quality, truthful images that accurately represent your campaign.
- Ensure all hyperlinks and navigational elements function correctly and are clearly labeled.
Content:
- Match the landing page language to your campaign and targeted audience.
- Maintain clarity, truthfulness, and originality—avoid plagiarism.
- Offer substantial and engaging content—avoid pages primarily serving as directories or search indexes.
Accessibility:
- Landing pages should be accessible without unnecessary barriers like paywalls or forced registrations, unless legally required or explicitly permitted by Adxe.
Clarity and Transparency
Endorsements:
- Include genuine social media comments linked directly to their sources or clearly disclosed authentic testimonials.
- Hyperlink media logos endorsing your product or service to the source articles.
- Always use authorized images and content—avoid unauthorized use of government symbols, celebrities, or branded logos.
Promotional Details:
- Use appropriate urgency without misleading tactics (avoid countdown timers or misleading timestamps).
- Clearly present all promotional information.
- Ensure company details and contact information are easily accessible (include an impressum if required).
- Promotional content must be clearly distinguishable from editorial content.
Claims:
- Clearly disclose any associated costs when using terms like ‘Free’ (e.g., shipping fees).
- Competitor-related claims must be fully substantiated and transparent.
Videos:
- Provide a transcript link for videos exceeding one minute.
- Use user-initiated audio with clear playback controls (mute/unmute, pause, rewind, fast forward).
- Clearly display the promoting company’s contact information.
Disclosures:
- Provide clear disclosures for:
- Paid endorsements (“These are paid testimonials.”)
- Testimonials with atypical results (“Results not typical.”)
- Promotional content that may appear editorial (label clearly as “Advertorial”).
- Any sponsorship or paid authorship (“Sponsored By Company Name”).
Advertisements and Third-Party Content
This policy includes:
- Ads or third-party content directly on your landing page.
- Subsequent pages users navigate to after interacting with those ads.
Adxe is committed to maintaining a high-quality content network. Thus, we monitor third-party advertisements and recommendations on your landing pages. Certain third-party practices diminish overall network quality.
Third-party ads must:
- Clearly indicate they are advertisements.
- Disclose the widget’s provider/source.
- Identify promoters of ads within widgets, adhering to Adxe’s Branding Text Guidelines.
