What are Google AdSense Vignette Ads?

Vignette Ads are the most common AdSense auto ads that publishers have been using for a long time to increase their ad revenue. They are basically interstitial ads (full-page ads) in 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.

Why use Vignette Ads?

Advertisers often agree to pay more for vignette ads since they are the best-performing ad formats you can have in-app or on desktop mode. They are an effective way to grab the attention of users 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 been optimizing Vignette ads with a broad range of screen sizes depending on the publisher’s content. These full-screen interstitials can often be time-based skyrocketing the CTRs for advertisers. With Vignette ads, publishers have observed a 5X increase in their CPMs compared to the usual banner ad format.

How much can you make from Vignette ads?

The Vignette ads format is a mix of the best of both worlds. With Vignette ads alone publishers have seen a 10-20% + 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.

How to Monetize Your Website or App with Vignette Ads?

Are Vignette Ads Intrusive?

This type of interstitial is highly viewable and user-friendly because it loads along with the page and can be easily skipped by users.
