Get Cooking With Allrecipes

Targeted advertising. Pinpoint accuracy. Getting the right message in front of the right user at the moment when they are most likely to be interested. You’ve heard it all before—but with Allrecipes, it is far from an empty promise.

Allrecipes advertising banners allow partners to deliver their message via prominent units and placements throughout the Allrecipes Network. Banners may be targeted by geography, day-part and frequency. Ad units can be further targeted by site or recipe preparation, meal part, cuisine, health concern, ingredient or occasion.

Additionally, Allrecipes provides and serves Rich Media Solutions, including expandable banners, floating ads, pushdown units and more.

Now sit back and watch your advertising efforts deliver!

Partner advertising placed throughout the Allrecipes Network or targeted specifically on one of the Allrecipes collections or recipes.

Allrecipes Site Ad Units

  Max File Size Animation
Name Dimensions GIF/JPEG Flash Looping Duration

Skyscraper 160x600 20K 30K 3 Loops 15 Seconds

Important Note:

Any ad that navigates the Allrecipes user to another site, must provide the ability for that user to return to Allrecipes via the “back” button. The only alternative is if the creative opens a different browser window, smaller than the Allrecipes page.
