Case Study: Increased Mobile Performance KPIs through Block Widget

04/05/2018 / Danielle Borao

Recommended content is easy to go left unnoticed when it comes to user interaction and its accompanying adverts on publisher sites. However, appealing visuals, such as block widget, paired with article titles and adverts offer good online user experiences. Thus, this attracts more attention. Users are more likely to notice other recommendations that publishers and advertisers alike offer.

Publishers should consider different widgets to potentially achieve higher performance KPIs such as viewability and monetization. We previously discussed the differences of native and performance-based goals when it came to revenue, since online advertisers’ goals are what affect the results of the widgets used on the publisher site.

The digital advertising industry is up for a new challenge this year as Google announced its latest plans to block ads that are classified as “annoying” to online users. This is a result of the industry group, Coalition for Better Ads, which strives to prevent the increased threat of ad blocking.

With today’s easily accessible way of consuming content online, moving content is one of the many rising trends that increasingly improves in hooking online users.

Thus, publishers are migrating over to putting out more moving content on social media sites such as Facebook and Instagram as well as on their own sites. Moving content, or videos, on publisher sites are interesting and beneficial for many reasons. Today, we will have a look at why publishers are increasingly using video content and why you should too.

From Traditional to Innovative: What Comes Next? An Outlook of 2018

01/17/2018 / Danielle Borao

As we start a fresh year, we continue to build onto 2017’s happenings in the digital advertising industry. We recently reflected on 2017’s trends and buzzworthy topics.

Many trends have helped transform both advertisers’ and publishers’ tactics of target reach to earn more revenue. This is due to the rising demographic of mobile device users. Increased ad spending as well as data insights and personalization were also a few among these transforming trends.

The change of majority device usage from “traditional” desktop to mobile has left publishers and advertisers to consider two ways of reaching their target users: through creative and native ad formats. That said, we would like to share some projections of what 2018 will bring to the digital advertising industry.

2017 has been an incredibly transformative year full of prospective digital trends and topics for the digital advertising industry as well as for plista.
