We are living in a digital age. Everywhere you go, everyone seems to be glued to their mobile devices. It is in fact impossible to keep up in today’s world if you do not own such a device.

Say you’re starting a new affiliate campaign and you want people to know about. What’s the best way to reach your targeted audience? Clearly, it is where they spend most of their time and nowadays, it’s their mobile devices.

To keep things in perspective, more than half of internet traffic is generated from mobile devices and the numbers keep steadily growing and with that mobile advertising has also become humongous.

With the increase in app usage from consumers, in-app advertising has become equally popular (Users spend 92 percent of their time on their phones using  apps). These advertisements use mobile ad networks.

So, in case you want to advertise a certain type of content, it can be a website, a blog, an app or some kind of a service, first and foremost, you’d need to understand the different types of mobile ad and revenue models at play.

The choices can be overwhelming.

Different Types of Mobile Ads

  1. Banner advertisements appear on the interface of an app and are usually used to promote products and services.
  2. Native advertisements are similar to the interface of the app so it feels like more a part of the app rather than a pop-up.
  3. Interstitial advertisements pop up when consumers move from one screen to another. They cover the screen completely.
  4. Push advertisements This is another type of advertising on mobile phones where consumer’s receive a notification on their phone screens.
  5. Video advertisements are, you guessed it, videos. Typically short, the videos are a great way to promote a product.
  6. OfferWall advertisements are again pretty self explanatory. They provide different offers targeted to engage the audience.

Now that you are familiar with the different types of ads available, you need to know about different revenue models before running an advertisement.

Whether you are buying or selling ads, these business models help you determine, what works best for you.

You can go for the Cost-Per-Click (CPC) model (Advertisers pay for each click by consumers), Cost-Per-Install (CPI) model (Advertisers pay for every installation) or the Cost-Per-Action (CPA) model (Advertisers pay for certain actions like signing up).

Or, you can opt for the Cost-Per-Mile model (Advertisers are charged for the number of times the add runs) or the Cost-Per-View model( Charged for the total number of views on video ads).

You also need to keep in mind who your customer is and how can you reach them most successfully based on their gender, age, location and interests.

No matter how many adds you run or how much money you spend, the ad could still run successfully and not do much for business if you haven’t properly targeted your specific audience.

Once you understand these basics, you would want to use the best mobile ad network. However, that is kind of difficult to determine. What works for you, depending on your product and target audience, may not work for someone else.
