For a list of who accepts advertising units as part of their publishing package check the “inclusion” section when booking your publishing package or click here for a full list.
This may vary from publisher to publisher. Most likely combination is a medium rectangle (300x250), leaderboard (728x90) and mobile banner (320x50).
These can either be publisher hosted and 3rd party ad served (via ad tags).
You will also need to supply a click through URL for your display advertising to link to.
Publishers reserve the right to reject advertisements that are outside of spec, or if the contents of the ad conflict with their advertising policy.
