INDUSTRY TRENDS THAT MATTER
ProgrammaticViewability
Mobile
PROGRAMMATIC LANDSCAPE
Programmatic favors:• Audience• User paths
(cookie data)• Placement
VIEWABILITYTHE DEFINITION
At least 50% of the ad content is visible on screen for at least one second while the user is not actively scrolling for standard ad units.
For video ad units, the definition is two seconds in view.
VIEWABILITYWHAT TO KEEP IN MIND
• No site can achieve 100% viewability• Viewability for any site will always be a combination
of where ads are placed relative to content and user behavior.
VIEWABILITYHIGH IMPACT AD FORMATS
• Impact ad units – skins, pinned units, interstitials• Other ad tech that support viewability – lazy load,
infinite scroll• In-Content & In-Image advertising• Native advertising• Mobile advertising• Video advertising• Sponsored editorial, advertorial and video content
VIEWABILITY RECOMMENDATIONS
• Place “leaderboard ads” between site header and content.
• Place ads where text starts, especially if post begins with a big beautiful photo.
• Remove lower-performing units, and limit the number of ads on any page.
• Use mobile-specific ad formats on your mobile template.

VIEWABILITY RECOMMENDATIONS
Place “leaderboard ads” between site header and “Pin” ads so they persist on the screen, even while the reader is scrolling. Jonathan Carter of Pixelbind has a tutorial for making a div stick when you scroll, which may be a good starting place for the tech-savvy, or if you work with a developer.Bloggers using WordPress can try out the Q2W3 Fixed Widget plugin. Place ads where text starts, especially if post begins with a big beautiful photo.Remove lower-performing units, and limit the number of ads on any page.Use mobile-specific ad formats on your mobile template.

MOBILE VIEWABILITY
• How can my site achieve the highest mobile viewability?
• The worst viewability on mobile comes from templates that display sidebar ads after all the site's content. With these templates, sidebar ads should be suppressed on mobile.
• The best viewability on mobile comes from mobile-specifc ad formats that appear at the bottom of the browser window, "native" ads that appear within main content, and 300x250 ads placed above or in content for those who have the ability to insert it.

algorithm that’s designed to boost to mobile-friendly pages in Google’s search results.
