A customer can roadblock the site by section, page, or topic. The minimum creative for a roadblock is a Leader board and one MPU (see above: Medium Rectangle, Square Pop-Up, Vertical Rectangle, Large Rectangle, and Rectangle). They also have the option of adding a Skyscraper, Wide Skyscraper, or a Half Page Ad for an additional charge.
In order to Road block, the customer must offer a minimum number of impressions or a time period commitment. The availability of road blocks will be contingent on the fact that there is no conflict with our existing commitment to signed customers.
