Specification Components
Display Banner ad formats are presented alongside host application. Banners may be presented anywhere on the screen at the publisher or developer’s discretion, as long as the banners appear above the fold. “Skyscraper” ads are not supported, as they would leave too little useable space for the host application content.
Applications may choose to insert a dividing area between the banner and application content, but this is application-specific and not considered part of the ad format. Banner ads are opaque (zero image transparency), such that the ad image does not blend with the application content.
