Top Online Display Ad Sizes In India

The biggest surprise came in the form of Display Ad Sizes. While a majority of ad networks and publishers have pre-defined standard ad sizes based upon the best performing metrics, non-standard size ads performed the best. In September, 47.1% ads were inline to non-standard sizes, followed by the most popular 300px X 250px with 19.4% and the leader-board with 16%. Though the study doesn’t address specific details about non-standard size ads but it’s not too difficult to assume that in-post ads, static image ads, full-page landing ads were the ones that come under this umbrella.

This also showcases that advertisers, publishers and visitors are distancing themselves from a growing culture of traffic monetization with standard ads. While visitors are reportedly trying to enjoy 100% ad-free internet, publishers and advertisers are making every possible effort to ditch such screening by adopting unconventional styles of advertising, which has apparently been showing good results.
