Your Most Burning Popunder Ads Questions Answered for 2022 [FAQ]
What is Interstitial?
Interstitials are non full-screen banners overlaying content. While your visitors browse through the content, the ad appears. Their main peculiarity is the size – as a rule, Interstitials are large enough to cover about 80% of the screen. So they are impossible to overlook.
If the user is not very interested in your offer, he has an opportunity to close the ad clicking the X button. In the opposite case, he clicks the button and moves right to the landing page.
Comparing Interstitials performance with other formats, we can name native ads as the most similar ones.
What can I advertise with Interstitials?
You can advertise everything with Interstitials, just make sure that you follow some rules. For instance, our platform insists that you avoid using adult content, branded images, low-quality images/text, violence, “scary” offers, etc.

Which frequency is optimal for an Interstitials campaign?
By default, we suggest that you set 1/8 frequency rate. However, if you want to show your ad to unique visitors only, we recommend setting 1/336 frequency rate.
Should I use more than one image for my Interstitials campaign?
Depending on users’ browsers and devices, images can look different. For that reason, we recommend you to use two images – an icon and a banner (the recommended resolution is 256×256 and 900×600 accordingly).

Almost all the templates have some additional CTR-boosting elements. The Classic template is a standard one that includes customizable parts like banner and offer description while the text placement and format are pre-defined.
In contrast to a Classic template, the Blur Dark one includes two text fields (for a large title and a separate description) and two images – the main one and a small icon. The button text, placement, and color are default, so you cannot change them.
Another example is a Prize template. This one has some unique features like the animation on the background (falling objects, like gift boxes or anything else you would like to upload), a native look, and a partly-customizable description. This one is widely-used for Sweepstakes offers and shows a striking CTR.
Templates have a great potential to increase your CTR and conversion rate due to attention-grabbing elements, like catchy animation and native messages.
