Preview

An ad that appears above the content of a webpage automatically after the page is loaded, expands to the full size of the browser window. The ad closes entirely by clicking the Close button.

This ad format may be subject to restrictions imposed by Google in cooperation with the Coalition for Better Ads on delivery of ads in Chrome. A list of ad experiences that should be avoided in this ad format according to Initial Better Ads Standards:
· autoplaying video ad with sound;
· prestitial ad with “countdown” that cannot be dismissed immediately.

How to work with .zip archive (template)

  1. Unpack an archive with the creative template.
  2. For creative preview use the preview page or copy all files to the folder index – banners – banner – body and open a file index.html in a browser using localhost. For that, a web server has to be installed (e.g. IIS for Windows, Apache for Mac OS).
  3. Open a file body.html with the text editor and edit the code snippet inside tags <body> </body>.
  1. Edit a file body.js.
  2. Save and archive all banner assets in .zip (you should archive the files, not the folder that contains the files).

Assets requirements

ZIP archive

A banner with all banner assets should be archived as a .zip file. It is recommended to use .zip file with a template.

HTML file

The HTML file must define all used sources (libraries, images etc). A recommended file name is body.html.

API connection and usage

globalHTML5Api connects automatically, requested in the following way.

Expand the globalHTML5Api code
globalHTML5Api.on('load', function(){
  /*
    YOUR CODE IS HERE
  */
});

All used modules should be listed as function parameters. Two and more modules should be separated by commas. In this format, the Player module may be used.
A simplified example of the globalHTML5Api.init usage for the Fullscreen format:

Expand the globalHTML5Api.init example code
globalHTML5Api.on('load', function(){
	globalHTML5Api.init({
		'resize' : [
			{
				'name': 'state-1',
				'fixed' : {
						'vertical':"center",
						'horizontal':'center'
					},
				'width': '100%',
				'height': '100%'
			}
		]
	});
});

Event tracking

  • View
  • Confirmed view
  • Click
  • Close by user
Chrome will limit the resources a display ad can use before the user interacts with the ad by removing heavy creatives from the page. An ad is considered heavy if the user has not interacted with it (for example, has not tapped or clicked it) and it meets any of the following criteria:
– Uses the main thread for more than 60 seconds in total
– Uses the main thread for more than 15 seconds in any 30-second window
– Uses more than 4 megabytes of network bandwidth

For any questions regarding ad manuals please contact the support manager of your account.
