Some might consider our animation rules a little complex. Granted however this doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try to upload compliant creatives.
TrafficJunky’s Animation Rules Explained
We’ve covered our updated rules and regulations in a previous post. You’ll want to get familiar with the type of content we reject.
You also have access to our full rulesnregs on our website–in case you’re a smarty pants that understands everything.
Today, dearest readers, today we focus on visually explaining TrafficJunky’s animation rules–using sloths. Yes you read that right.
Without further adieu, here’s everything you need to know:
You guessed it Einstein, this means the banner can be animated like a video. Here’s what that looks like:
If you’ve followed our blog for a long time, you’ve studied banner anatomy as well.
That said, you’re probably trying to include an animated call to action or flashing elements in order to grab addition.
We can’t be mad at that, good for you being clever and all.
There’s nothing wrong with adding animated text or shapes, there just need to be a minimum of two seconds between frames.

That covers it! Keep in mind these rules apply to every other type of animated advertisement supported TrafficJunky and not reserved for sloth GIFs.

Hey Sloth, thanks for reaching out.
