NexAds ads, scripts, search boxes or search results may not be:

  • Displayed in pop-ups or pop-unders, including where a page containing NexAds ads, search boxes, or search results is loaded in a pop-up or pop-under.
  • Placed inside emails, or on pages where email messages are the primary focus.
  • Placed on pages where dynamically-generated content (such as live chat, instant messaging, or auto-refreshing comments) is the primary focus of the page.
  • Obscured by elements on a page.
  • Underneath or adjacent to buttons or any other object such that the placement of the ad interferes with a user’s typical interaction with the app or ad.
  • Placed on any non-content-based page.
  • Placed on pages published specifically for the purpose of showing ads.
  • Placed on pages whose content or URL could confuse users into thinking it is associated with NexAds due to the misuse of logos, trademarks or other brand features.
  • Placed on, within or alongside other NexAds products or services in a manner that violates the policies of that product or service.
NexAds publishers may not display NexAds ads on pages with content protected by copyright law unless they have the necessary legal rights to display that content. This includes pages that display copyrighted material, pages hosting copyrighted files, or pages that provide links driving traffic to pages that contain copyrighted material.
Here are some techniques you’ll want to avoid:
  • Hiding ad units at anytime (e.g., display:none), unless you're implementing a responsive ad unit
  • Implementing NexAds ad code in a way that covers content or where content covers ads
  • Placing ad units on a mobile site or a responsive design site in such a way which will cause content and ads to overlap
  • Manipulating the ad targeting using hidden keywords, IFRAMEs, or any other method
  • Distributing ads in emails or software
  • Manipulating the delivery or presentation of the ad to attract unwarranted attention (e.g., ads sliding into the screen, ads zooming in/out).
  • Triggering an ad click during user drag actions on a mobile web page.
  • Modifying placement of any ad units that are positioned by the script being used. For example, the footer bar is such an ad unit which is positioned by the script for fixed placement at the bottom of the viewers window/viewport.
  • Modifying the script(s)/ad(s) in such a way that any hyperlinks back to planetnexus.net are modified, hidden or removed.
Publishers may not place NexAds ads on sites that contain abusive experiences. Abusive experiences are designed to be misleading. An experience is abusive if it meets any of the conditions listed below.
  • Fake Messages
    Ads or other elements that resemble chat apps, warnings, system dialogs, or other notifications that lead to an ad or landing page when clicked.
  • Unexpected Click Areas
    Transparent backgrounds, non-visible page elements, or other typically non-clickable areas that lead to an ad or landing page when clicked.
  • Misleading Site Behavior
    Page features such as scroll bars, play buttons, "next" arrows, close buttons, or navigation links that lead to an ad or landing page when clicked.
  • Phishing
    Ads or page elements that attempt to steal personal information or trick your users into sharing personal information.
  • Auto Redirect
    Ads or page elements that auto-redirect the page without user action.
  • Mouse Pointer
    Ads or page elements that resemble a moving or clicking mouse pointer that attempt to trick a user into interacting with it.
  • Malware or Unwanted Software
    Ads or page elements that promote, host, or link to malware or unwanted software that may be installed on your users’ machines.

Prohibited content

Adult content
NexAds may not be placed on pages that contain pornography, adult, or mature content.

Publishers are not permitted to place NexAds ads or search boxes on pages with adult or mature content. While we recognize that interpretations of adult or mature content may vary across countries and cultures, we hold all publishers accountable to the same content requirements so that we can ensure a safe and healthy global advertising ecosystem.
If you're unsure about whether or not something might be considered adult content, our general rule of thumb is this: if you wouldn't want a child to see the content or you would be embarrassed to view the page at work in front of colleagues, then you should not place ad code on it. If you are still uncertain, please Contact Us or contact a staff member at our Support Forum.

Similarly, NexAds may not be placed on pages that primarily drive traffic to, promote, or provide instructional materials on how to implement such services.

Misrepresentative content
Users don’t want to be misled by the content they engage with online. For this reason, NexAds may not be placed on pages that misrepresent, misstate, or conceal information about you, your content or the primary purpose of your web property.

Counterfeit goods

NexAds publishers may not display NexAds on webpages that offer for sale or promote the sale of counterfeit goods. Counterfeit goods contain a trademark or logo that is identical to or substantially indistinguishable from the trademark of another. They mimic the brand features of the product in an attempt to pass themselves off as a genuine product of the brand owner.

Underage, non-consensual, or illegal sex acts
NexAds absolutely prohibits monetization of content related to child sexual abuse imagery or pedophilia. Planet Nexus has always been at the forefront in the fight against online child abuse, and an avid supporter of family safety online.

Under United States federal law, child sexual abuse imagery is defined as visual depictions of minors (i.e., under 18) engaged in a sexual act such as intercourse, oral sex, or masturbation as well as the lascivious depictions of the genitals (covered or uncovered). This definition extends to photographs, videos, cartoons, drawings, paintings, and sculptures. The image can involve a real child; a computer-generated, morphed, composite or otherwise altered image that appears to be a child (think “Photoshop”). This also includes soliciting minors for sexual acts, which is also known as "enticement."

Pedophilia is any content or behavior (images, texts, videos, etc.) that depicts, encourages, or promotes sexual attraction by adults toward minors (i.e., under 18).

* Please note that these are examples and not intended to be complete or comprehensive.
