More infoWhat is the Google Display Network?
The Google Display Network (GDN) is an expansive network of websites, apps and videos that serve ads to their audience. Ads on the GDN reach 90% of internet users worldwide and are seen by millions of people every day. With its broad reach, GDN is a great way for advertisers to build brand awareness, get more traffic to their website, or drive leads and sales.
The Different Types of Display Ads
There are five main types of display ad which also come in four different display sizes.
- Video Display Ads – These are extremely common among a great number of websites. When the display ad appears a video starts to play immediately. These videos tend to be general adverts, similar to those seen on television, or vlogs and content from video-focused social media platforms (such as YouTube).
- Sponsorship Display Ads – These display ads typically include a company logo, product and name. Mainly used to create brand awareness and, in some cases, is a form of remarketing.
- Overlaying Display Ads – These display advertisements are features that cover the webpage they are featuring upon, either entirely or partially. The main purpose of this form of display ads is to get engagement with the advertiser as online users cannot continue using the page without engaging with the advert.
- Interstitial Display Ads – Similarly to Overlaying display ads users must engage with the advertisement before they can continue to view the page they intend to. However these display adverts appear before the page is loaded.
- Rich Media Ads – Rich Media Ads require users to engage with the display ad before becoming fully active (polite), usually containing audio or video, Rich Media Ads can sometimes be triggered automatically (impolite).
The Right and Wrong Way to Use Display Ads
Display ads can be a great way to increase brand awareness, engagement and conversions. But do you know the right way to use them? Knowing the right and wrong ways to use display ads can make all the difference in how successful your campaigns are.
When display advertising campaigns lack strategy and display ads are placed on random websites they garner very little success, due to the rising popularity of software such as Adblock.
Odyssey New Media craft display advertising strategies specific to your business, wants and needs. When done correctly display advertising can do incredible things for a business.
