Explanation:
I haven't had time to get a very clear idea, but one thing that seems to be common to all the "焦点" references online is that they are flash, or other moving picture ads, not static.

promotion with a picture and a hyperlink at the highlight section


Explanation:
有些网站的新闻频道会在频道首页的焦点新闻中夹杂商业广告,并带有图片,与其他新闻的图片交替显示,那便是所谓的“焦点图广告”。当然这只是举个例子,不只是这种夹杂在新闻中的形式。如果是商业性很强的网站,可能交替显示的几个都是广告推广链接;也不一定是完全动态的,可以是交互性的,比如,鼠标放到文字标题上,所显示的图片就换为相应的图片。点下鼠标,就打开页面。(如下面给出的第一个链接的形式)。这种广告跟位置和形式都有关系。如果用英语解释下,可以说ad promotion with a picture and a hyperlink at the highlight section(甚至"ad"也可以去掉)。

因此,全句可以译为:

甲方获得在www.xxx.com XX频道焦点图广告推广30天。

Party A shall get a 30-day promotion with a picture and a hyperlink at the highlight section of the XX Channel of www.xxx.com.

(似乎是长了一点,但是可以说得很清楚。)

Companion Ad


Explanation:
After comparing definitions from English and Chinese websites I believe the English term is companion ad.

--------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------

焦点广告 in Chinese seem to refer to point of sales advertising or or point of contact ads. In English the definition from the wiki http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/open-video-ads/13059/co... suggests that it's any ad used in conjunction with a video.

"Both Linear and Non-linear Video ad products have the option of pairing their core video ad product with what is commonly referred to as companion ads. Commonly text, display ads, rich media, or skins that wrap around the video experience, can run alongside either or both the video or ad content. The primary purpose of the Companion Ad product is to offer sustained visibility of the sponsor throughout the video content experience. Companion Ads may offer click-through interactivity and rich media experiences such as expansion of the ad for further engagement opportunities. " http://www.iab.net/wiki/index.php/Companion_Ad

I think the OP's ad is something similar either to the first link in this post or similar to the ads at www.tudou.com videos.

A channel(video) with a picture near or around the video.

Thoughts?

disagree  Phil Hand: If you look here http://organicmarketer.wordpress.com/2008/09/09/latest-banne... you see that companion ads are two ads interacting. There's no suggestion of that in the Chinese.

  -> Please see my response above. I don't agree that the ad HAS to be animated. Thanks for your help
