About

With traditional banner ads, the advertiser provides the actual ad itself — for example, a 300×250 rectangle image creative and a static creative. A traditional banner ad will look the same no matter where it goes on your site. It doesn’t adapt to its context at all.

With native ads, advertisers provide the elements of ads without styling such as

  • headline
  • image,
  • click-through URL,
  • and others.

The server may then insert them into many different layouts depending on

  • the type of device the ad will appear on,
  • how the content appears on the page,
  • the amount of space available,
  • and other factors.
