What is In-Page?

In-Page is an advertising format that looks like a push notification on the right side of your website when a user visits it. In-Page ads resemble small messages with an image. The main difference between push notifications and In-page is the display algorithms. Push notification strategy is based on specific triggers and your engagement with an app. In-page ads are shown whenever users visit a website.

Similar to classic push ads, In-Page Push is a web adaption of a well-known ad format with no need to collect the database, it works on all browsers and platforms including iOS.

This ad format is CPM or CPC-based.

How to run an In-Page ad successfully?

Let us share with you the main recommendations from our QA-department:

  • Firstly, it is important to update a creative and use a short but intriguing text.

  • We do not recommend using Inpage icons with small elements because an audience will hardly see that.

  • If you want to secure a high Conversion rate, you should create an offer landing coherent with your Inpage. For instance, if you write about a special promo on Inpage, it is great to mention the same promo offer on the landing.

  • Make creatives like a dialog with users. For example, you can come up with sentences like “you can win....”, “Stasy is near by you, let’s meet”, and so on.
