Best Performing Ads
Standard or Rich?
The average click through rate (CTR) for a standard banner ad = 0.11%, while rich ads produce a CTR ranging from 0.18% - 6.15%, with an overall average of 2.20%
The Expandable Banner ad (in the Rich Media section) performed the best all around. The lower CTR score may be attributed to users finding the content they are looking for in the ad itself (e.g., video), which can also explain why the Expandable Banner scored very high in the “50% played rate” and “fully played rate” categories (71%, 60% respectively).
In-ad games yielded the highest CTR (6.15%) and also had a remarkably high Start Rate (93%). The rising popularity of in- ad games has been a hot trend as adoption rates for the technologies used to develop the games/ads have been on the rise. For example, Flash 9 currently has a penetration rate of 97.3% in the U.S. and Canada, with Japan and Europe showing comparable rates, 98% and 96.5%, respectively*. While a lower Interaction Rate could be the result of users clicking through to begin interacting with the game itself, we believe that as adoption rates for new technologies continue to rise and as more features and functionalities become available to developers to push the envelope with in-ad games, the popularity and metrics in this segment will continue to grow steadily.
