Ad blockers are software that halts communication between ad servers and your browser itself. By doing so, they cloak the specific elements of a website that are intended to display advertisements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consequently, when ad blocker users access such sites, these designated areas appear devoid of content, resembling empty spaces to the unsuspecting eyes of the end users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_79_2 counter-flat ez-toc-counter ez-toc-custom ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents:<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #000000;color:#000000\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #000000;color:#000000\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/ad-block-traffic-for-revenue-optimization\/#How_Does_AdBlock_Affect_Revenue\" >How Does AdBlock Affect Revenue?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/ad-block-traffic-for-revenue-optimization\/#How_can_Publishers_Monetize_AdBlock_Traffic\" >How can Publishers Monetize AdBlock Traffic?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/ad-block-traffic-for-revenue-optimization\/#What_Can_Publishers_Do_In_The_Long_Run\" >What Can Publishers Do In The Long Run?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/ad-block-traffic-for-revenue-optimization\/#Key_Takeaways_on_Adblock_Monetization\" >Key Takeaways on Adblock Monetization<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/ad-block-traffic-for-revenue-optimization\/#FAQs_on_Adblock_Monetization\" >FAQs on Adblock Monetization<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Does_AdBlock_Affect_Revenue\"><\/span>How Does AdBlock Affect Revenue?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The effect of adblock on revenue has never been positive, and will never be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to 2024 data, ad blocking had cost the advertising industry $54 billion. This represented around 8% of the total digital ad spend (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/454511\/ad-blocking-cost-worldwide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Statista<\/a>).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getadmiral.com\/adblock-revenue-recovery-guide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Admiral<\/a> states that publishers tend to lose around 15-30% of their revenue to adblockers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2025 won\u2019t be any different. With <a href=\"https:\/\/cropink.com\/ad-blockers-usage-statistics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">42.7% of internet users<\/a> using ad blockers, compared to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.emarketer.com\/learningcenter\/guides\/ad-blocking\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">32.8% in 2023<\/a>, the revenue loss is bound to increase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the industry has come up with several adblock monetization strategies to counter the revenue loss. In the next section, we will be covering these techniques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_can_Publishers_Monetize_AdBlock_Traffic\"><\/span>How can Publishers Monetize AdBlock Traffic?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your audience uses adblock not out of spite but out of necessity. They don\u2019t want to see you out of business; they just want to have a better <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/find-the-balance-between-user-experience-and-ads\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">user experience<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, a user using an ad block will directly hit your revenue. So, what do publishers do to fight this blockocalypse? Blocking ad blockers right back, asking for a whitelist, asking for a small payment in lieu of access, among a few things. Very few publishers actually have the wherewithal to look within and <em>improve ad experience.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s first discuss some actionable ways to recover your adblock lost revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>1. AdBlock Walls<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the simplest and easy-to-implement adblock monetization tactics is an adblock wall. It is a digital barrier you create that denies website access to a user using ad block software. No matter how aggressive it may seem, this technique is utilized by many websites as well as anti-ad block software, such as Admiral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Denying access to your content would necessitate the user to disable the ad blocker. However, for adblock walls to bear fruits, your website content should be like no other, i.e., it should be unique enough for users to stick to your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>2. Request Whitelisting of your Website<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another approach to adblock monetization is by requesting users to whitelist your website. Here comes a question: Why would a user whitelist your website?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The answer is simple: For transparency and trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a publisher, you can display a polite message entailing how advertising is the bread and butter of your website. Within the same message, you can also give out the details of how the user data is processed, i.e., showcasing compliance with privacy laws like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/a-ccpa-compliance-checklist-for-publishers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CCPA<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/gdpr-explainer-an-essential-guide-to-the-new-european-data-protection-laws\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GDPR<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Otherwise, you can add a pinch of sarcasm to your message to tickle the users\u2019 funny bones. For inspiration, this is how OKCupid pulled it off:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img src=\"https:\/\/lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXf2fne2-AJtYXbqlB6AyAH0-_e1S0kgqNc9B0J6Ki_uGUfkSo-tKGqTi-cp4sJEEvNdGDyWieAoTa6eQDv4LsH7ztk0owCh2DNGQoShMoq1nPr9367jYYQzwefsJJvC-Lp_lgz3?key=olJqUMSike_IfXHmaSWl4A\" alt=\"Adblock monetization strategy by OKCupid\"\/><figcaption>Revenue Donation Request by OKCupid<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In many cases, publishers create a page within their website dedicated to how and what data is collected for advertising purposes. This instills trust in the user, hence making them more amicable towards whitelisting your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>3. Acceptable Ads<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Not all adblock monetization tactics are as plain as whitelisting. Polite requests may work with your viewers, but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/adblock-recovery-solutions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AdBlock software<\/a> is a different game altogether. You can\u2019t buy your way through getting whitelisted by ad blockers. Your ad layout requires you to be \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/acceptable-ads-how-does-it-help-publishers-with-adblock-recovery\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Acceptable Ads<\/a> Program\u2019 compliant to get your domain white-listed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, you have to optimize the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/innovative-ad-formats\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ad formats<\/a>, sizes, and placements according to the program. On top of that, each served ad should carry an \u201cadvertisement\u201d label to distinguish it from the surrounding content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then you have to watch out for following ads and creatives, which are NOT acceptable:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Auto-refreshing<\/li><li>Animated<\/li><li>Autoplaying sound or video<\/li><li>Expanding<\/li><li>Oversized<\/li><li>Interstitials<\/li><li>Overlaid (display and in-video)<\/li><li>Pop-ups and pop-unders<\/li><li>Pre-roll video<\/li><li>Rich media (e.g. Flash ads, Shockwave ads, etc.)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3>4. Use Blocked Ads to Extract Value<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>An optimist\u2019s approach to ad blocking is not to see it as lost revenue but as an opportunity to sell products, capture emails, and gather data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You know, when life gives you lemons\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A large number of publishers have adopted this approach for adblock monetization. For instance, Forbes detects when a reader is using ad block and asks him to sign in (i.e., capture data) or whitelist the site:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img src=\"https:\/\/lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXfQak8Fgik4fdcfxcoACm84bbZCMtw_wDzYm0-lL-l7aQffjNmmTygXiwUijSkXfWjWsXR4DiGAqg7HqcVeiHwXc9ByObLSGYth9Hy0mCkB15_9RLCvCxDsd6VL-bSqIpzkbHQb?key=olJqUMSike_IfXHmaSWl4A\" alt=\"Adblock monetization strategy by Forbes\"\/><figcaption>Forbes Notification for Adblock Users<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The Atlantic does something similar. You can whitelist the site or even buy a subscription to support Atlantic\u2019s journalism without seeing any ads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img src=\"https:\/\/lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXcZf89O88C0Vnslg2AMlsH8dYrj7KDziYyLjeZ36qzJeznc7kN0eYVuO0r-QQzry-R-B9Ea2zVbO_vRMr63jQGgWL7MZLimwsIlJlV088zCDpWxypuQXM-LJ-s13ZXYWmNfmkxy-Q?key=olJqUMSike_IfXHmaSWl4A\" alt=\"Adblock monetization strategy by The Atlantic\"\/><figcaption>The Atlantic Notification for Adblock Users <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The philosophy behind this approach is clear: if you can\u2019t make any money from ads, at least do whatever you can to extract value from the visitor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few things you can do on blocked ad spaces:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Capture emails by promoting your newsletter. You can later show ads\/offers in emails without worrying about being blocked.<\/li><li>Encourage users to sign up for a free account (if you have one).<\/li><li>Encourage users to follow you on social media. This gives you an opportunity to reach users again without being blocked.<\/li><li>Promote a paid account or product.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3>5. Server-side Ad Insertion (SSAI)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/video-ads\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">video<\/a> publisher, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/what-is-server-side-ad-insertion-and-how-does-it-work\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SSAI<\/a> can be an ideal adblock monetization option for you. In this, the ads are integrated or stitched into the videos at the server level. As the ads are added to the video before it is delivered to the viewer\u2019s device, ad blockers are unable to detect or block them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Such ads show a higher <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/what-is-completion-rate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">completion rate<\/a> compared to client-side ad insertion. Moreover, this arrangement is equally favorable to users as the ads load without buffering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>6. Ad Recovery Softwares<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Can you actually bypass ad-blocking software?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A number of companies have been doing that, including AdPushup\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adrecover.com\/sign-up\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AdRecover<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the most part, these tools help you analyze how people use ad block on your site and find ways to circumvent it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Ad Replacement<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the ways is implementing the Acceptable Ads initiative, which comes under Ad Replacement. These programs aim to define criteria for non-intrusive, relevant, and respectful advertising that users might be more inclined to allow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By adhering to these guidelines, publishers can reach a compromise between ad revenue and users\u2019 preferences, striking a balance that benefits all parties involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AdBlock reviews each application manually and will block your site if you make any large changes post-approval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s tough to get in for most publishers, but if you can, it can offset much of the damage from ad-blocking software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Otherwise, you can simply pay to get in, though expect this to be very expensive since only a few hundred major advertisers have managed it so far (Google, eHow, etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Ad Reinsertion<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Ad reinsertion, on the other hand, is another way where alternate methods are applied to show the original ad to the user. This is generally done by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Making the code less detectable to the ad blockers (Obfuscation)<\/li><li>Inserting the ad at the last moment when the ad blocker has attempted to block them (Dynamic Ad Insertion)<\/li><li>Replying on URLs that the ad blocker has not blocked to deliver the ad (Alternative URLs)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some users can find these methods intrusive if not implemented properly, especially ad reinsertion. In general, ad replacement (Acceptable Ads) is fairly more ethical for adblock monetization compared to ad reinsertion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Can_Publishers_Do_In_The_Long_Run\"><\/span>What Can Publishers Do In The Long Run?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ad block revenue recovery doesn\u2019t stop here. As we mentioned above, the user uses ad blocker only to improve their browsing experience. There are a few more adblock monetization techniques you can implement in the long-run to give a positive ad experience to the users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>7. Create More Native Content (Native Ads)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/best-native-ad-networks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Native ads<\/a> have long been held as the savior of publishers in the age of ad block. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessresearchinsights.com\/market-reports\/native-advertising-market-102627\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Business Research Insights<\/a> states that the global native advertising market will reach $145.29 billion by 2025. It will grow at a CAGR of 14.24% to reach $421.47 billion by 2033.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/native-advertising-examples\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Native ad content<\/a> is usually created by the publisher itself and is focused on a topic that aligns with the advertiser\u2019s and the reader\u2019s interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s an example from NYT. Note how it feels like a regular article, not an advert:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img src=\"https:\/\/lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXdtQYnD-I3CnrSITbL7aBt_XD8qjLqLr1g8WOpGS6OLop97Se_2EVwBjage7kwmuMmocChsLRaaaFmQZnJ_4cJRcNMqk_5KGhkWYmQ8PnOUd8jjk9mT1Tdoks0XdHHvHps3zW3s?key=olJqUMSike_IfXHmaSWl4A\" alt=\"Native ad in The New York Times\"\/><figcaption>Native ad in The New York Times<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Native advertising can be wildly lucrative, but it also requires more effort to attract and scale. A few challenges you\u2019ll face are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Traffic<\/strong>: Since native content is usually unique to a single publisher, you\u2019ll have to have enough traffic to justify the spend for an advertiser.<\/li><li><strong>Content creation<\/strong>: Suffice it to say <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/future-trends-in-native-advertising\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">native advertising<\/a> requires you to come up with the content. Which is why so many marquee publishers <a href=\"http:\/\/www.collectivecontent.co.uk\/2016\/10\/10\/main-publishers-content-studios\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">run their content studios<\/a>.<\/li><li><strong>Reputation<\/strong>: Outside of some start-ups using it as a growth hacking tactic, native content is still dominated by large brands. These brands are usually reluctant to work with publishers without established reputations.<\/li><li><strong>Sales<\/strong>: Since native content is so decentralized, you\u2019ll have to pound the pavement and get sales yourself. This might make it unfeasible for some publishers.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/how-to-track-chatgpt-traffic-in-ga4\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">traffic<\/a> and\/or a highly engaged audience, this is definitely a direction you should explore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>8. Optimize for Viewability<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ad revenue grows, so does the sound of digital success with each impression and click drives measurable growth. With the money flowing in, the long-term goals blur out, and so do the users\u2019 woes. Be it stuffing ads above-the-fold or excessive ad frequency, all affect user experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To meet the requested viewable thresholds, many publishers tend to forego user experience and implement aggressive advertising layouts. However, by doing this, they tend to further alienate the users.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a general rule of thumb, highly viewable <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/ad-impressions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">impressions<\/a> can be sold at higher <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/what-is-floor-price\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">floor prices<\/a> without disparaging competition, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/google-adsense-now-allows-300x250-ads-above-the-fold-on-mobile-web\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">above-the-fold<\/a> placements are regarded as top-tier inventory. It\u2019s the first thing users see when they land on a page; the space is irresistible to advertisers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s also worth noting that without content to engage users above the fold, users learn to scroll down before your ads pass the MRC viewability criteria, or as is often the case before the creative even renders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Optimizing for viewability <\/strong>will need engaging content, along with paying attention to site design, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/ad-layout-optimization\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ad layout<\/a>, latency, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/a-complete-guide-to-digital-ad-operations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ad ops<\/a>. Take an inventory of your impressions and map out impressions you want to optimize for\/offer up as highly viewable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Identify the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/banner-ad-sizes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ad sizes<\/a> and placements that are dragging down your average viewable impressions count. Then, begin optimizing with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/lazy-loading-ads\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Lazy loading<\/strong> <strong>ads<\/strong><\/a>, so they show up when they are on-screen. Share <em>this<\/em> signal with your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/header-bidding-partners\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">demand partners<\/a> in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/what-is-bid-request\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">bid request<\/a>.<\/li><li><strong>Creative weight filters<\/strong>: Limit existing creative weight by implementing size limits on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/the-ultimate-guide-to-real-time-bidding\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">RTB<\/a> calls. Charge more for heavy assets, reserve them for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/explainer-the-four-types-of-programmatic-deals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">direct deals<\/a>, or discard them. Offer site-serving to direct deal partners to cut the lag even further.<\/li><li><strong>Latency<\/strong> from ad render time has a direct impact on the viewability of an ad. Monitor this time diligently. Measure the timeouts you set against each demand partner\u2019s bid response time and optimize accordingly.<\/li><li><strong>Continuously test and optimize all ad sizes and formats<\/strong><em> in conjunction<\/em> with site design elements. Optimizing for site design or latency in isolation will not work to improve UX and viewability with a cluttered ad layout.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3>9. Avoid Page Bloating at all Costs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Too many ad requests made to the browser can slow down the ad delivery process, hence affecting the loading time. The logic is simple here: the more the ad requests, the more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/the-best-ad-networks-for-publishers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ad networks<\/a> will be called upon, leading to a domino effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>Programmatic ad networks are slowing down ad delivery, because of too many requests being made. Every programmatic ad that goes into an open auction communicates with ad networks that place bids \u2014 known as requests. Then pieces of code are introduced into the ad to track its performance and other reporting criteria. IAB sets a guideline of 15 network calls for each ad in an auction, but the average is closer to 60, according to the report.<\/p><p><\/p><cite> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.adageindia.in\/40-of-Online-Ads-Are-Found-to-Be-Overweight-and-Slow-Sites\/articleshow\/57313463.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">via Adage India<\/a> <\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>However, optimizing for viewability and Acceptable Ads should negate this.

Thoughtful Ad Formats<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Talking about playing the long game, there\u2019s one major change that your users will love you for in the long run: implementing user-friendly ad formats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The idea here is simple: use ad formats and sizes that don\u2019t irritate your users. As a publisher, you should remember that users are fine watching the ads as long as they don\u2019t obstruct the browsing experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><strong>What to do:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Desktops:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Skyscraper ads on the sidebars<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/banner-ad-sizes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Banner display ads<\/a> above the fold<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/native-ads-vs-display-ads\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Display ads<\/a> within the content<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mobiles:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/mobile-ad-sizes-formats\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mobile banner ad<\/a> above-the-fold<\/li><li>Bottom <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/sticky-ads\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sticky ads<\/a><\/li><li>Mobile display ads within the content<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4><strong>What NOT to do:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Desktops:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Auto-playing video ads with sound<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/pop-up-ad-network\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pop-up ads<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/interstitial-ads\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Interstitial ads<\/a> with countdown<\/li><li>Large sticky ads<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mobiles:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Pop-up ads<\/li><li>Large sticky ads<\/li><li>Flashing animated ads<\/li><li>Auto-playing video ads with sound<\/li><li>Ad density higher than 30%<\/li><li>Fullscreen scroll over ads<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3>11. Get Creative with Audio Ads<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Adblock does a great job of removing ads from a page. But it can\u2019t remove <em>audio<\/em> ads voiced directly by the speaker in a podcast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides the \u201cpodcast revival,\u201d this is one reason why major publishers are investing heavily in podcasting. As things stand, it is an \u201cad block proof\u201d content format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NYTimes has The Daily, Popcast, and Still Processing, among others. BBC has The Brexit Cast, Making History, Our Man in the Middle East, etc. Buzzfeed has a whole range of podcasts covering everything from culture to news.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img src=\"https:\/\/lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXdAV1vyUaJr9V0KpCRab1jvko_YM4pOF28Nx-JjtkArndkKnXLPD0YUCkjF7iWnsTlZDmKQNoiKU-w92IOIGjLiIuOh9Z-i8zatimQ2Gz9gqu1DDiT3dtAfV7ZRj9u3xMqh--X9?key=olJqUMSike_IfXHmaSWl4A\" alt=\"BuzzFeed Podcasts\"\/><figcaption>BuzzFeed Podcasts<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If podcasts are not your genre, then you can simply incorporate an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/audio-ad-networks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">audio ad<\/a> between the text-to-speech option for articles.
