What is a Banner Ad?

A Banner Ad is displayed at the top of a web page above content and moves out of view when a user scrolls. Banners are our most popular ad format, due to their eye-catching and user-friendly nature.

Why Banner Ads?

These ad units get high viewability, and ensure that advertisers get as much value as possible. We’ll make sure you get the highest viewability and view-time per ad unit possible. Smart placement is key to ensuring revenue growth and happy users.

What is an In-Content Ad?

In-Content Ads are implemented within the content of a web page where users are most engaged.

Why In-Content Ads?

In-content ad units get extremely high engagement as they are integrated into page content where users interact - so you can expect a higher CTR and strong CPM. These units can be improved further by adding native ad units which are designed to mimic the user interface of your website with similar colour schemes and fonts, driving up performance and maintaining UX!

What is a Sticky Sidebar Ad?

Sticky Sidebar Ads appear within the sidebar of a web page. The ad sticks to its position as the user scrolls through page content.

Why Sticky Sidebar Ads?

Utilizing a sticky sidebar ad can lift revenue by 33% due to increased view-time and viewability in comparison to non-sticky sidebar ads. We often couple this with an ad refresh to drive even more revenue through increased impressions without the need for additional ad units.

What is a Web Interstitial Ad?

Interstitial ads are full-screen interactive ads that entirely cover the interface of their host site or app. Usually, these ads are placed at natural transition points or breaks, such as in-between game levels and engaging activities to increase user engagement.

Why Web Interstitial Ad?

Interstitial ads are more prominent ads, meaning they are ideal for mobile devices. Larger ads mean larger impressions and user engagement, assisting in overcoming ad viewability issues—or banner blindness—in the smartphone environment.

What is an Interscroller Ad?

Interscroller ads are native-style ads that fit naturally within a page’s content breaks, appearing as a user scrolls through the content—unlike interstitial ads that cover the entire screen. As the reader scrolls down the page, they see the ad gradually revealed underneath the content, and once 85% of the ad has been revealed it may snap out to occupy the whole screen.

Why Interscroller Ad?

With interscroller advertising, advertisers can subtly promote their brand without disrupting the user’s content consumption flow, creating positive brand recall value.

What is a Scroll to Stick Function Ad?

Scroll to Stick is an advertising technique where a banner ad, initially positioned under the top navigation bar or at any fixed location on a webpage, becomes sticky as the user scrolls. This means the ad moves with the user, sticking to the bottom of the navigation bar, the top, or bottom of the page, or any other element on the site.

Why Scroll to Stick Function Ad?

Scroll to stick ad units generate a high volume of impressions because they stay in view as users scroll. This continuous visibility results in a higher refresh rate, making them a dependable and effective way to boost revenue.

“Getting the correct visibility, refresh rates and sizes is a careful balance and it can only be accomplished with accurate data and experience, both of which Publift provides.”
