As these figures continue to trend upward, mobile advertising is following suit and growing accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Marketers and publishers have recognized that they need to target consumers with platforms and devices that they are using the most. Consumers in the US spend 35 hours per week<\/a> using mobile devices. 92% of mobile time is spent on apps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But with mobile app usage on the rise, advertisers aren\u2019t just using mobile browsers<\/a> to advertise anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n By 2021 in the US alone, the gross expenditure of in-app advertising is expected to reach $201 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you combine that number with mobile app store advertising, that\u2019s an anticipated $340 billion spent on mobile ads. We\u2019re just two years away from those figures. That\u2019s more than 2.5x higher than 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These advertisements are facilitated through mobile ad networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But there are so many networks out there. It\u2019s overwhelming, to say the least, and difficult to choose which one is the best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are two ways to approach this. You can take advantage of these networks to purchase ads and promote your product, service, app, brand, etc. Or you can sell advertising space on your platforms. Maybe you\u2019re interested in a combination of both options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Regardless of your unique situation, you\u2019ll definitely benefit from this extensive guide on mobile app networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So you\u2019ve decided that you want to run some ads. That\u2019s great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But not all mobile ads are the same. These are the major mobile advertising formats that you can buy or sell through ad networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Banner ads on mobile devices are similar to banners you\u2019ve seen when you\u2019re browsing the Internet. The only difference is that these banners are displayed within the interface of an app. Banners typically promote products, services, or even upsells for in-app purchases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Native ads match the interface of an app. The whole idea behind this format is for the advertisement to feel natural and less intrusive, as opposed to something like a pop-up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Interstitial ads cover the entire screen. They appear when users navigate from one screen to another. Here\u2019s an example<\/a> of what this would look like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The most important thing to remember with this ad format is that you only display the advertisement after a user has completed an action or task. You don\u2019t want to interrupt them while they\u2019re in the middle of something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, a gaming app could have an interstitial ad appear in between levels, as opposed to during actual gameplay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is pretty self-explanatory. Video ads are usually fairly short, and typically not longer than 60 seconds. There are two main types of video as.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to eMarketer<\/a>, it\u2019s expected that $16 billion will be spent on mobile video ads in the US during 2019. They predict that number to reach $25 billion by 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As the name implies, OfferWall advertising provides offers. These offers are meant to drive engagement. For example, a mobile gaming app could have OfferWall ads that promotes other games from the same developer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition to the types of ads available, there are different business models for buying and selling mobile ads. I\u2019ll explain the top five models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With CPC ads, the advertiser gets charged each time someone clicks on their ad. This model is better for advertisers because they only get charged when a consumer is interested enough to make a click.<\/p>\n\n\n\n From a seller\u2019s perspective, CPC can be a bit risky. Publishers are potentially giving away impressions for free with this model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to BuildFire, Advertisers are only charged when clicks turn into an app install<\/a> with the CPI model. This is one of the most important metrics for marketers to track. App installs can translate to customer acquisition costs, and ultimately determine the ROI for these ads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n CPA is similar to CPI, but it\u2019s a bit more advanced. Advertisers are charged for certain actions, such as signing up for something, submitting a form, subscribing, or making an in-app purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n CPM is based on how many times the ad is shown. This model is best for publishers because they get paid even if the user doesn\u2019t click or perform an action. Typically, the charge is per 1,000 times an ad is shown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While this a safe revenue for someone selling ads if they have lots of traffic, it limits their opportunity to make more money. If that ad sparks lots of interest and leads to clicks and installs, the publisher won\u2019t be rewarded for those additional actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n CPV is for video campaigns. The cost is based on how many times a video ad is viewed. This advertising model is becoming increasingly popular. As we previously mentioned, the US is expecting to see a 64% increase ($16 billion to $25 billion) in mobile video ad spending over the next three years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are several different ways for advertisers and publishers to display mobile ad campaigns designed to reach a specific audience. Failure to reach the right audience will obviously impact the results of your ad. These are some of the most popular ways to segment mobile ads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Targeting mobile ad consumers properly is crucial to the success of your campaigns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can use one or more of these targeting types when it you run ads. Being able to reach mobile users based on their interests is extremely popular, which is why platforms like Facebook have been able to sell so much mobile advertising space<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re running CPM or CPV ads, but they are being shown to an irrelevant audience, then you\u2019re just wasting money. If you\u2019re running CPI, CPA, or CPC ads to the wrong audience, you won\u2019t generate any results. Even if it\u2019s not costing you money, it\u2019s still a wasted effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, which advertising networks are the best? It\u2019s difficult to say definitively since there is so much data out there to take into consideration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here\u2019s a look at North America\u2019s top ad networks for reaching app customers, according to TUNE<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n TUNE analyzed more than 1,000 networks and publishers. The data from their customers concluded that the ad networks shown on this table were the most widely used in terms of customer reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As you can see, popularity doesn\u2019t necessarily translate to results. Only one of the top three networks by adaption ranked within the top ten for conversion rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But that information needs to be taken with a grain of salt. As we\u2019ve already discussed from the different revenue models, conversions aren\u2019t always applicable. You could run CPM and CPV ads successfully without any conversions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What works well for one company may not necessarily work for another. It all depends on the type of ad your running and the goal of your campaign. The same concept can be applied to publishers as well. You might make more money with one format over another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now that you understand the types of mobile ads, different revenue models, and ways to target customers, it\u2019s time to look at the top networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As I just said, the best ad network depends on what metric you\u2019re tracking. Some of you may generate better results with one of these over another. So these networks aren\u2019t ranked in any particular order. Use this list as a reference to learn more about each option and decide which one is the best for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Formally known as AdMob, Google\u2019s mobile advertising network is facilitated through Google Ads<\/a>. Some of you may have experience using this network to promote your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Google Ads lets you run CPC, CPI, and CPM campaigns. Native ads, interstitial ads, and video ads are all supported on this platform as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Four mobile platforms are available with Google Ads:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you use Google Ads, you\u2019ll have the option to target users based on location, mobile platform, operating system, interests, connection type, and device. The global reach of this advertising platform makes it one of the most popular choices to consider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Facebook is another giant in the digital advertising industry.
