Once they open the page, a request is automatically sent to the publisher\u2019s ad network (e.g., Adsterra) to send an Interstitial ad.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ad network already has a collection of Interstitials from different advertisers. It matches the offer with traffic, ensuring ad relevance. When an offer is chosen, it is displayed on a publisher&#8217;s website. Usually, a website visitor will see a full-screen ad with the main message and a vignetted background. Interstitial ads come in various ways, including a static full-screen banner or a smaller widget on a vignetted background. Readers may encounter such ads right after they open a website or while jumping between pages.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, bidding takes place on the ad network. The network then sends the interstitial from the highest-bidding advertiser to the publisher\u2019s website. However, advertisers can benefit from second-price auction (<a href=\"https:\/\/blogdev.adsterratech.com\/blog\/smart-cpm-bidding\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Smart CPM<\/a>), as well. It&#8217;s a bidding strategy allowing for placing a maximum bid but paying only a bit higher than the second highest bidder. It&#8217;s a profitable strategy for advertisers willing to distribute budgets and increase ROI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading content-title\"><strong>Why should advertisers use Interstitial ads?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The interstitial ad format offers many advantages for advertisers, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading content-title\"><strong>1. Engaging<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This ad format is more engaging than other formats because it takes up the user\u2019s whole display. It provides an interactive photo or video experience, and readers are more likely to respond to interstitial ads than other formats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading content-title\"><strong>2. Multi-platform compatibility<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The interstitial marketing works with all kinds of desktop and mobile devices. You can find it on desktops, Android smartphones and tablets, iPhones, and web browsers. This multi-platform compatibility allows advertisers to reach as many viewers as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading content-title\"><strong>3. Higher click-through rates (CTRs)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Interstitial ads have higher click-through rates on average than other ad formats, providing more opportunities for advertisers to get conversions. Below is a case study of an iGaming platform that uses Interstitial ads to get hundreds of thousands of impressions and boost its revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-adsterra-affiliate-marketing-and-traffic-monetization-blog wp-block-embed-adsterra-affiliate-marketing-and-traffic-monetization-blog\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"yVbJd3ZfuA\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogdev.adsterratech.com\/blog\/interstitial-ads-example-of-how-to-make-real-money-on-a-sports-passion\/\">Interstitial Ads: Example of How to Make Real Money on a Sports Passion<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#8220;Interstitial Ads: Example of How to Make Real Money on a Sports Passion&#8221; &#8212; Adsterra Affiliate Marketing and Traffic Monetization Blog\" src=\"https:\/\/blogdev.adsterratech.com\/blog\/interstitial-ads-example-of-how-to-make-real-money-on-a-sports-passion\/embed\/#?secret=f2yJt7tRJN#?secret=yVbJd3ZfuA\" data-secret=\"yVbJd3ZfuA\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading content-title\"><strong>How much do Interstitial ads pay?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Advertisers and publishers often resort to Interstitials. But does it actually pay well if you\u2019re a publisher or blogger? Yes, it does. According to an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adnimation.com\/cpms-for-interstitial-ads\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Adnimation study<\/a>, the average eCPM from Interstitials is 40x that of traditional Banner ads. According to the same study, Interstitials earned publishers an average of $7 to $62 per mille.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, note that there\u2019s no specific amount a publisher can make from Interstitial screen ads. It depends on many factors, including the target audience, content niche, and advertising network. For example, ads from the U.S., U.K., Canada, and other economically developed and emerging countries (e.g., Brazil and Saudi Arabia) return higher payouts. On the other hand, ads from other Tier 2 and 3 countries can pay handsomely when you have high traffic volumes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some content niches also tend to perform more than others. For instance, Adsterra publishers profit from iGaming, E-commerce, Utility, and Dating offers promoted via Interstitials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>Adsterra increases publishers\u2019 earning potential by providing access to a network of lucrative interstitial ads.

You can time your discounts to convince customers not to miss out on something valuable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Thoroughly select images and visuals<\/strong>.

Adsterra\u2019s Interstitials don\u2019t require any fixed space on your website because they cover the whole screen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Users are more likely to interact with the ad because of full-screen coverage.

When placing Interstitial ads on your website, you should avoid the characteristics that Google deems intrusive. Here are some of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading content-title\"><strong>Ads displayed immediately upon app launch or exit<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Any ad displayed just after a user visits your app or exits is considered intrusive. Such ads give users a negative experience, causing Google to de-rank the violating websites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interstitial ads should be displayed between natural pauses of an app, such as when users move from one game level to another or click a button to read a new article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading content-title\"><strong>Frequent or recurring appearances<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Interstitial ads cover the user\u2019s entire screen. If they appear frequently, users get annoyed and will likely leave the app. This practice is considered intrusive and should be avoided.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One per hour is an ideal Interstitial ad rate for each user. This rate ensures users don\u2019t get distracted or fed up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading content-title\"><strong>Unexpected launches<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Random Interstitial ads can ruin an app\u2019s user experience. Search engines often penalize this behavior, so it should be avoided.
