PopUnders ad format

PopUnder Ad (new window)

PopUnder ad appears automatically when user opens the webpage. As soon as lead clicks on close button, then advertisement appears in a new window with advertisers webpage. Ad (advertiser website) is displayed in a new browser window or tab. Pop under ads as compared to popup is less irritating and makes users feel of decisive choice. PopUnder ad has affordable pricing - payment is made according Pay Per Impression rate- the number of impressions is equal to number of clicks, because user is redirected to the target website as soon as advertisement appears. Popunder ad appears once a day and only for unique users. This strategy saves money and prevents from non-target traffic.

Sizes: 468x60, 728x90, 320x50



Interstitials / Page Peel ads

PopUp Ad (New window)

PopUp Ad appears automatically when user opens the webpage. As soon as user clicks on close button, then advertisement appears in a new window. PopUp Ad can be displayed either horizontally or vertically and exclude "banner-blindness" option. It is impossible to ignore pop up window, as it appears right in the middle of the page and hides the website info. For this reason, many users feel irritated by popups and see such ads as instrusion and as being excessively agressive. One pop up is fine. Two or more at the same time or within a second of one another is too much.

The truth is, pop-up ads annoy people. But they make a lot of money. You must balance your desire for revenue against your desire for creating a good user experience.
Remarks:
It boils down to economics.
You might be totally opposed to pop-up ads, but if you earned $100 revenue per 1,000 page views from a pop-up ad, I bet you’d use them because that’s an insanely high RPM for any ad. In fact, don’t count on any ad, pop-up or otherwise to come anywhere near earning that amount. My point is that whether you use a particular ad is largely dictated by economics.

It just so happens the $1 to $10 the pop-up may earn you is not worth the cost in user experience. It’s a business decision. For me, the revenue is worth it and so I use them.

TakeOver Ads

TakeOver Ad

Full page takeover ad – an immersive ad experience that hijacks the page for a few seconds. They make a much bigger impact, are more easily remembered and get more interaction than banner ads. Also given other names such as website takeovers, rich media takeovers, page morphs or overlays. A good full page takeover tells a story in about 8 seconds (the usual length before the ad experience automatically closes).



TIPs for Advertisers:
  • Have a clear call-to-action in the takeover for users that are interested. For example, a button with "Buy Now" or "Book Now"
  • Low quality graphic (imagery) destroys an Ad's believability
  • TakeOver Ad may be expensive

Digital Ads (publisher)

Digital Ads are the most popular ad formats used to monetize a blog. Typically Digital Ads involve native ads, banners and video ads.
The ads can be placed anywhere on the blog: in the posts, in the sidebar, at the end of the page, etc. They are display if they are relevant to the content of blog post.

You should strive to avoid Ad density of more than 30% per page - Ads that take up more than 30% of the vertical height of a page. Ad density is determined by summing the heights of all ads within the main content portion of a mobile page, then dividing by the total height of the main content portion of the page. For the purposes of this ad experience definition:

  • Ad density is measured against the main content portion of the page, not the viewport.
  • The main content portion of the page excludes headers, footers and site navigation including related articles.
  • Ads below the main content portion of the page are not included in the density calculation.
