Running length-wise along the page content, the Skyscraper family of ad units are the ’slim stalkers’ who cling to the user’s browser view for as long as possible. At the same time it is still a rich media delivering heavy-weight:
- Floating: attention-grabbing uninitiated overlay
- Expandable: user-initiated overlay with substance
Generic Flash Example
Video and Audio
Not available on Yahoo! Direct Response (Top 250).
A 30 second video can also play in this unit and must not loop. Video play can be uninitiated or user-initiated; however sound must be user-initiated and must have a one- second delay if it is initiated by roll-over of the mouse and also must be muted on roll-out. There must also be controls to pause video play and mute the sound.
