What Are Interstitial Ads?

Interstitial ads are full-screen ads that demand all the attention, but only between pieces of content. For example, when a user clicks on a new page or starts loading new content. Because they take over the screen for a moment, you can’t miss them. 

They deliver high visibility without competing with on-page elements. Interstitials feel like part of the flow while giving advertisers a high-impact placement and publishers a strong eCPM boost.

Improve Brand Awareness

Interstitials take over the full screen, so your message gets seen, not squeezed into a corner fighting for scraps. Perfect for launches, rebrands, and “remember us?” campaigns where reach and attention matter.

FAQ

How much do interstitial ads pay​?

The exact payout swings a lot by GEO, device, vertical, and traffic quality. Most publishers see them priced on CPM via RTB, so earnings rise when demand is strong.

When to show interstitial ads?

Show interstitials only at natural breaks, like between pages or when users finish a piece of content. Avoid popping them on first load, mid-scroll, or right before exit, since that hurts UX.

What is the best frequency capping for interstitial ads?

A solid default is low and conservative: think about one interstitial per user per hour or one per session, then adjust based on bounce rate and session length. Too many interstitials = faster churn and lower long-term revenue.
