If you're new to programmatic advertising and header bidding, you may not be familiar with the most common Sticky Sidebar Ads format type. See the Sticky Sidebar Ads format sizes you can work with.
At Publift, we are programmatic pioneers, working tirelessly to grow our client’s advertising revenue. Pairing simplified, cutting-edge advertising technology with impartial, ethical guidance, the Publift team helps independent publishers leverage their ad inventory for maximum ROI.
Due to their fixed position and consequent increased viewability, sticky ads often result in higher CPMs than other formats. This makes the sticky ad unit a winner for both publishers and websites on the sell-side and advertisers on the buy-side.
While some other ad formats offer high viewability, their tendency to be intrusive can lead to a lousy user experience. Running anchor ads has been shown to result in high ad viewability, while steering clear of the page content, meaning users are more likely to engage with the display ad on their own terms.
Whereas some ad formats may need to be optimized and designed to meet open web guidelines, sticky sidebar ads meet the minimum IAB and MRC guidelines by default- that is, 50 percent of the display ad creative pixels are in view for a second. This leaves publishers free to focus on what you do best- post great content.
At Publift, we take the hard work out of selling your ad inventory. Working with Google Ad Exchange and Google Ad Manager, we will optimize sticky ads for your site on both desktop and mobile devices, regardless of the browser. We work tirelessly to understand your page, content and users, to ensure your sticky ad campaign results in maximum ROI.
Due to their user-friendly nature, best practice can be overlooked when implementing a sticky sidebar ad campaign.

Just as it sounds, sticky sidebar ads stick to the sidebar of a website, staying in the viewport through the user session. Publishers tend to run sticky ads in ad units that are traditionally banner spaces, vertically in the sidebar, or horizontal sticky ads which run along the top or bottom of the screen.
Through the combination of visually effective sticky sidebar ad design, smart on-page placement, and Publift’s programmatic advertising solution, Fuse, your banner ad expertise will really start to stack up.
