So, the idea of Acceptable Ads is to protect the user experience for online ads and ensure that publishers can monetize their ad traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-what-are-better-ads\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_Better_Ads\"><\/span>What are Better Ads?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, Better Ads delivers the best user experience with online ads. The idea behind Better Ads is extensive user research about the ad formats, and ad experiences that consumers think are the most annoying and disruptive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-acceptable-ads-vs-better-ads\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Acceptable_Ads_vs_Better_Ads\"><\/span>Acceptable Ads vs. Better Ads<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Acceptable Ads Standard works on criteria for placing ads on a website and is intended to stop ads from being intrusive and annoying. The Better Ads Standards are to identify and fix annoying and disruptive ad experiences. Despite sharing the common goal of promoting better user experiences, both the ad standards have different purposes; here are some of the differences:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-what-is-the-process-behind-the-ads-standards\">What is the Process Behind the Ads Standards?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Both Acceptable Ads and Better Ads serve specific criteria for publishers. The idea was to find out how to improve online advertising formats so that digital publishers can also monetize and grow their business.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s understand the process behind both types of ad standards:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-acceptable-ads-standards\">Acceptable Ads Standards<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Eyeo, which acts on behalf of the parent company of AdBlock and Adblock Plus extensions, every online ad has to comply with the Acceptable Ads Standard, and advertisers cannot avoid the criteria. The process of the Acceptable Ads Committee works by enabling the publishers and ad-tech providers to enforce compliance with the set standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The criterion for online ad publishers and advertisers is based on the following guidelines:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>The placement of ads must not annoy or disrupt the user\u2019s experience. The online ads should be placed above, below, or beside the main content.<\/li><li>The Ad content should be clearly labelled and comply with size and format limitations depending on the position.<\/li><li>Ads should be well distinguishable and recognizable from other content on the website.<\/li><li>Text ads with excessive use of colours or other elements are not permitted.<\/li><li>Ads on mobile screens should follow size restrictions and must not occupy more than 50% of the visible portion of the webpage.<\/li><li>Sticky Ads must follow a maximum height restriction of 75px.<\/li><li>Ads with animations must comply with the LEAN standard for animations and should also have a close button or some other closing mechanism.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-better-ads-standards\">Better Ads Standards<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For publishers, Better Ads Standards aim to follow the best ad practices and deliver a better user experience. The Coalition, a non-profit consortium, also runs a Better Ads Experience Program, which invites publishers to participate and get certification from Better Ads Standards for following the best practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Better Ads Standards encourage online publishers and advertisers to assess their existing ad practices and improve their user&#8217;s experience by complying with the standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Coalition also decided to stop working with the publishers who aren\u2019t following Better Ads Standards. Many publishers and SSPs list Better Ads as a mandatory requirement in the ad approval process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, the Better Ads Standards also apply to the Chrome browser to filter annoying ads or completely block all the disruptive ads on a website that does not follow the ads standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to a survey by Coalition in 2017, around 66,000 users worldwide were surveyed. The Better Ads Standards came to identify four intrusive ad formats for desktop users and eight for mobile users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These would include the following for desktop users:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Pop-up ads<\/li><li>Auto-playing video ads with sounds<\/li><li>Prestitial countdown ads<\/li><li>Large sticky ads&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For mobile ads, the following are most intrusive:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Pop-up ads<\/li><li>Prestitial countdown ads<\/li><li>Ad density that\u2019s higher than 30%<\/li><li>Flashing, animated ads<\/li><li>Auto-playing video ads with sound<\/li><li>Postitial countdown ads<\/li><li>Full-screen scroll over ads<\/li><li>Large sticky ads<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These ad formats fall into annoying ads and are considered the least preferred among all users. So, publishers in the ad-tech industry are encouraged to avoid these ads as much as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>What is the Main Difference in Approach?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The main difference between the two Ads Standards was identified by companies and businesses involved in the ad-tech, who researched which ad formats to avoid to reduce the number of ad blockers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Acceptable Ads Standards were to establish the ad formats that users find acceptable instead of avoiding ad formats that encourage users to install ad blockers. Adblock Plus enforces the Acceptable Ads Standards. On the other hand, Google enforces the Better Ads Standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Acceptable Ads Standards are more stringent in blocking the ads of any party who refuses to follow the standards. It is the one thing publishers should be aware of for making the ad format experience better overall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-wrapping-up\">Wrapping Up<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For a publisher, user experience is the most important criterion. And revenue is another factor to consider when deciding between these two ad standards. So when it comes to figuring out the Acceptable Ad Standard for revenue gain and monetization, they provide higher average revenue per visitor, reliability, and predictable revenue diversification. While Better Ads Standards are most likely to drive consumers to install ad blockers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, for publishers looking to decide between Acceptable Ads and Better Ads for their visitors, AdPushup can quickly help you set up an ad-tech experience that meets all major ad quality standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQ\"><\/span>FAQ <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1652896507219\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What are Acceptable Ads?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">These ads aren&#8217;t annoying, disruptive, or intrusive and will never include things like pop-ups, autoplay audio ads, or other annoying ads.\u00a0To make an ad to be an &#8220;Acceptable Ad&#8221;, it must adhere to standards that have been set forth by the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/acceptableads.com\/committee\">Acceptable Ads Committee<\/a>.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1652896634309\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What are the benefits of Acceptable Ads for publishers?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Many business websites cannot work without ads.\u00a0Acceptable Ads provide the website owners with a way to use ads to generate revenue and eliminate the need to install an ad blocker in the first place. <\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1652896802308\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is the main difference between Acceptable Ads and Better Ads?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Better Ads is more like a voluntary approach where the publishers in the ad tech industry can choose not to follow the Better Ads Standards.
