What are Banner Ads? 

Banner ads are static or animated display advertisements that appear within a mobile app's interface. They typically run along the top or bottom of the screen and stay visible while the user interacts with the app. Banner ads are one of the oldest and most widely used formats in mobile advertising.

How Banner Ads Work

A banner ad is served by an ad network or mediation platform and displayed within a defined space in the app layout. When a user taps the banner, they are redirected to the advertiser's destination, such as an app store listing, a landing page, or a product page.

Banner ads are usually bought and sold on a CPM (cost per thousand impressions) basis, though CPC (cost per click) models also exist.

Common banner sizes in mobile include:

• 320x50 (standard mobile banner)
• 320x100 (large mobile banner)
• 300x250 (medium rectangle, also called a "mrec")
• 728x90 (leaderboard, used on tablets)

Where Banner Ads Appear

Banner ads can appear at the top or bottom of the screen during active app sessions. In gaming apps, they are often shown during natural pause points, such as between levels or on menu screens. Placement matters because it affects both visibility and user experience.

Banner Ads and App Monetization

For app publishers, banner ads are a straightforward way to generate ad revenue without heavily interrupting the user experience. They can run alongside other ad formats, such as interstitials or rewarded video, as part of a hybrid monetization strategy.

Because banner ads are always visible during a session, they can produce consistent impression volume. However, eCPM rates for banners tend to be lower than formats like rewarded video or interstitials, so publishers often use them to fill inventory gaps or support overall yield.

Measuring Banner Ad Performance

Key metrics for evaluating banner ad performance include:

• Впечатления: How many times the banner was displayed
• Clicks: How many times users tapped the banner
• CTR (Click-Through Rate): Clicks divided by impressions
• eCPM: Estimated revenue per 1,000 impressions
• Fill rate: The percentage of ad requests that returned an ad

Tracking these metrics alongside user behavior and retention data helps publishers understand whether banner placements are contributing to revenue without harming engagement.

Banner Ads vs. Other Ad Formats

Banner ads are less intrusive than interstitials or rewarded ads, which can make them a good fit for apps that want to maintain a low-friction experience. The trade-off is that banner eCPMs are typically lower. A well-structured monetization setup often includes banner ads as one layer within a broader ad strategy.
