Differences in Video Ad Formats

OnclickA video ad has four unique formats to help webmasters gain more click impressions and monetize video ads on our website.

The out-stream video ad style is excellent when you need to spread your video ad campaign outside the player. This video advertisement format is activated when viewers navigate to their position, which is usually in the center of the page, making it more difficult for fraudsters to target.

In-stream

Unlike out-stream video ads, in-stream ads are typically played directly on the player on the website. The most common type of in-stream video ads, which is available in three formats: pre-roll, mid-roll, and post-roll ads:

  • Pre-roll - the ads you see before the video you want to watch starts.
    OnclickA offers double preroll, which is more aggressive but pays off double. When using double pre-roll the user sees not one but two advertisements before the original video starts.
  • Mid-roll - plays in the middle of the video.
  • Post-roll - the advertisement after you finish the video.

The in stream video ads format was created to swiftly and efficiently capture consumers' attention, thus making it a popular choice among many advertisers. At OnclickA you can place video ads on your website with a VAST link: once embedded into the player it will communicate with our ad server.

Overlay

Overlay ads are also used for instream placement realization but work differently since it lays over the original player of the website. The overlay ads can be placed over the original player, as well as anywhere on the website over the website’s content.

Slider

Slider is a type of the out-stream. Video Slider is advertising tied not to the website’s content, but to the screen of the user.

One of the questions is what height to set for the slider video ads. The average height in the market is 20-25%. The bigger the height - the better the metrics. But there should be a balance, so we recommend the 30% height.
