Making the most of your advertising

content, Handmadeadserver extensively enforces its Advertising Guidelines across its
network.
The rules are based on our
Terms and Conditions, and the
agreements that all Handmadeadserver publishers and advertisers sign up for.

- Political content that exploits political agendas or uses "hot button" political issues for commercial use regardless of whether the advertiser has a political agenda
- Hate speech, whether directed at an individual or a group, and whether based upon the race, sex, creed, national origin, religious affiliation, marital status, sexual orientation or language of such individual or group

- Ads for Alcoholic Beverages
- Ads that contain a URL or domain in the body must link to that same URL or domain.
- All users must be sent to the same landing page when the ad is clicked.
- Landing pages that generate a pop-up (including "pop-overs" and "pop-unders") when a user enters or leaves the page are not allowed.
- Landing pages cannot use "fake" close behavior (ie. when a user clicks the 'close' icon on the page, the page should close down and no other behavior should result).
- Landing pages cannot utilize "mouse trapping" whereby the advertiser does not allow users to use their browser "back button" and traps them on their site and/or present any other unexpected behavior (for example: navigation to another ad or page).
