An Interstitial is a full-screen overlay ad, which can be a suitable replacement for Popunder to escape Google restrictions.

To start using the interstitial. You will need to add the website, interstitial ad spot, link listed networks to your account, and get codes for interstitials from them after which you can place the code on your website. 

Let's get started.

Go to the My Websites tab, and press on the [ +Add spot ] button. 

Choose a website for which you want to add this spot, choose interstitial as an ad type, type the name of your spot, and choose a stream type after that you can save your settings and move to the next step.

Navigate to My Ads tab and proceed with My Ad Networks section to link the ad networks.

Your next step is to create a campaign for your interstitial spot. For this, navigate to the My Ads tab and select the My Campaigns section, then click on [+ Add campaign] button

Give the name to your campaign, and choose the same stream type as on the spot (adult-all if your spot stream is also adult-all). Choose ad type - interstitials. And choose spots (for which spots this campaign will work). Don't forget to save.

After your campaign is created and ready to use, you will need to add creatives for it manually. To do that, find your already created interstitial campaign in the list of all available campaigns and press the [ + Import Creative ] button within the spot.

Then fill in all the required fields as in the example below.
Zone ID and Link URL - these you can get from the ad networks panel after creating interstitial ad zones.

Now go back to the My Websites tab and press on [ Get Codes ] button to pick the code for your website.

If everything is correct, then you will see the activity on your dashboard and the green dot in front of your interstitial ad spot.

Furthermore, you can change your interstitial settings right in the spot by clicking on the [ Edit] button located on the right of the spot.


Frequency Capping - How often users will see this ad.
Bind to - CSS selector of links that trigger the interstitial. By default, any click will trigger an ad show.

Combine Delay + pageLoad for the best performance and alternative to Popunder ads to bring new experience and better conversions as a result. Main page placements show great results!


Tips


If you’re already using our popunder or IM script: edit the data-spots attribute of the script tag of our code on your webpage. Add interstitial spot id, separated with a comma without spaces. For example, if you already have:


 <!-- Ads Managed by AdSpyglass.com -->

<script type="text/javascript" src="//antiadblock.example.com/3NTDRQ9.js" data-spots="12345" data-tag="asg"></script>

Code on your page, and want to show Interstitial there, add Interstitial spot Id (110 for example) to data-spots attribute. The correct code will be:

<!-- Ads Managed by AdSpyglass.com -->

<script type="text/javascript" src="//antiadblock.example.com/3NTDRQ9.js" data-spots="12345,110" data-tag="asg"></script>
