FAQ
Rich Media HTML5 — Frequently Asked Questions
A rich media ad is an interactive HTML5 advertisement that goes beyond static images. Users can tap, swipe, expand, watch video, and interact with the ad directly — all without leaving the page. These formats deliver significantly higher engagement than standard display.
While custom HTML5 creatives deliver the best results, AdsNetwork provides templates for common formats like expandable banners, image galleries, and scratch-to-reveal units. You can also upload your own HTML5 creatives built with tools like Google Web Designer.
Standard HTML5 banners are animated but not interactive — they play a linear animation. Rich media ads respond to user input: taps expand them, swipes navigate galleries, interactions reveal content. This active engagement is what drives 3x higher performance.
Rich media campaigns use CPM (cost per thousand impressions) or CPE (cost per engagement) pricing. CPE means you only pay when a user actively interacts with your ad — expanding it, playing video, or swiping through a gallery.
Absolutely. All our rich media formats are built with mobile-first HTML5. Touch gestures like tap, swipe, and pinch work natively. Creatives automatically adapt to screen size and orientation.
We track every interaction: ad expansions, time spent, video starts/completions, gallery swipes, clicks per CTA, and custom events. All data is available in real-time dashboards and exportable reports.
