Creative Ad Rankings

Types exist to categorize ads based on their content, purpose, and subject matter. This helps our moderation team apply appropriate guidelines to different ad approaches, ensuring a fair and consistent ranking process.

Please review this quick guide on ad rankings in order to give you a better understanding of how your ads and landing pages are ranked by our moderation team.

 

When determining the type of ad, we consider:

  • The content and quality of the image
  • The semantic, grammatical, and stylistic integrity of the title and description (if applicable)
  • The coherence between the title, description, and image
  • The subject matter of the ad
  • The ad’s intended category

The classification and ranking of creative types are conducted in accordance with the Adskeeper Creative Policy.

We ensure a seamless alignment between advertiser and webmaster preferences. Assigning the appropriate ad type helps attract the target audience effectively and ensures optimal placement across relevant sites.

Creative Types in Our System:

  1. PG (Parental Guidance): Suitable for general audiences but may require adult supervision.
  2. R (Restricted): Restricted to viewers under 17 unless accompanied by an adult or granted permission.
  3. NC17 (No One 17 and Under Admitted): Content deemed inappropriate for individuals under 17.
  4. NSFW (Not Safe for Work): Contains suggestive or erotic elements that may not be suitable for all environments.
  5. B: Features explicit or extreme content that exceeds the thresholds of NC17 and NSFW classifications.

✅ Do’s:

  • Use of colloquial language, slang, abbreviations, and expressions
