If you are a publisher on Google AdSense and have enabled Vignette ads, you would want to check out this blog post. Vignette ads are one of the most popular ad formats on the internet, accounting for 20% of all online ads. On mobile devices, they account for a whopping 70% of all mobile display ad revenue. With Vignette ads, publishers can make much more money, and MonetizeMore is here to guide you through it. Keep reading to discover high-performing Vignette Ads format sizes you can work with.
Note: While the term Vignette ads is used explicitly by Google AdSense, these full-screen ads that appear during transitions are more broadly known as interstitial ads.
Vignette Ads are the most common AdSense auto ads that publishers have used for a long time to increase their ad revenue. They are basically interstitial ads (full-page ads) that pop up between page loads of a website or app. These interstitials pop up when a user is navigating from one webpage to another. Users come across Vignette ads while leaving a page, not when initially landing on a page.
– Doesn’t load on the page load or even be lazy. Instead, it loads in between when a user clicks on a non-ad link on the page.
– When the Vignette loads, it shows a blackout for the full screen and then an interstitial ad front and center.
– Clicking the blackout will close everything and send the user to the original page they intended to go to.
– Once a user has seen the Vignette, they will not see it again for an hour (1 per hour frequency cap).
– Vignette serves on mobile, tablet, and desktop.
You should favor setting up the AdX vignette and only set up the AdSense vignette if you’ve confirmed there are serious issues on the particular site with running the AdX vignette.
Advertisers often agree to pay more for vignette ads since they are the best-performing ad formats in-app or on desktop mode. Vignette ads are an effective way to grab users’ attention while they browse your content.
Vignettes can be displayed across all devices – mobile apps, web browsers, and social networks – increasing your ROI by reaching more users through different channels.
MonetizeMore’s AdOps experts have optimized Vignette ads for a wide range of screen sizes depending on the publisher’s content. We have developed our own, which has a higher ad space fill rate than AdSense’s.
These full-screen interstitials can often be time-based and skyrocket advertisers’ CTRs. With Vignette ads, publishers have observed a 5X increase in their CPMs compared to the usual banner ad format.
The Vignette ads format is a mix of the best of both worlds. With Vignette ads alone publishers have seen a 15-35% + increase in session RPMs. Publishers saw a 4-5X increase in their CPMs compared to the traditional banner ad format.
Vignettes are also highly customizable which allows you to create an engaging experience for your users while still being able to control the look and feel of your content.
