Mobile Ad Viewability

What is mobile ad visibility

Mobile ad visibility refers to the extent to which ads on mobile devices are actually seen by users. In the field of mobile Internet advertising, it is a key indicator for measuring the effectiveness of ads. Specifically, it refers to the fact that an ad is considered "visible" only after it has reached a certain display area and display time on the screen. For example, when more than 50% of the ad's area is displayed on the screen for more than 1 second, it will be judged as a visible ad. This concept was proposed in order to more accurately evaluate the effectiveness of ad placement, because only when the ad is seen by the user can it possibly attract the user's attention and subsequent actions.

Use Cases for Mobile Ad Visibility

Advertising placement decision

When placing mobile ads, advertisers need to consider the visibility of the ad. Different ad positions, ad formats and delivery channels may have very different levels of visibility. For example, top banner ads on the home page of some popular applications are usually highly visible because of their prominent position; while some interstitial ads hidden deep in the application may be less visible due to user operations or page loading. Advertisers can choose ad positions and formats with higher visibility according to different marketing goals to increase the exposure rate and effect of the ad.

Effect Evaluation and Optimization

After the advertisement is released, it is necessary to evaluate and optimize the effect of the advertisement. Mobile advertising visibility is one of the important indicators for evaluating the effectiveness of advertisements. By analyzing the visibility data of advertisements, advertisers and agents can understand the performance of advertisements in different time periods, different user groups and different devices.
