Adsterra banner campaigns deliver impressive performance. Advertisers access reliable traffic sources from 18К publishers and reach conscious customers that are ready to buy. Publishers enjoy 100% fill rate and higher payouts.
Web Push
Web push ads are sent by browsers. They interact with those users who have agreed to get notifications. With Adsterra, you can segment your audience and target only those users who are ready to buy (user lifetime targeting).
Pre-Roll Video
This format is a short video that appears before the main content. Adsterra uses your VAST/VPAID tags, or hosts your videos. Pre-rolls are great for creating visual impact: a brand video, a movie/game trailer, an immersive gambling video teasers, etc.

Social bar uses several different interesting ad types including Chat Bar, Survey Bar and Video Bar. Publishers achieve higher CPMs while advertisers reach 10-30x higher CTR’s when compared to web push ads.
