This section covers mobile ad networks that support the interstitial banner format. An interstitial ad is a kind of banner ad that occupies an entire smartphone screen and requires a mobile user to click on a button to close it to allow them to proceed with their content.
Interstitial advertising, like all of the ad formats, has its pros and cons. The advantages are the following:
The central con is that we can attribute poor targeting to these ads; they can lead to mobile users becoming frustrated, and hence advertisers need to be cautious in using them.

Interstitial ads have great potential to increase conversion rates and are often displayed in-between levels in mobile games and apps.
These types of ads can include video, image and text, and rich media features (audio or other ad elements). Users can also close these ads, but the type of option to close them does vary depending on their content. For example, video ads may not have an immediate close option, while non-video ads will.
The full-screen potential of an interstitial ad is the key benefit here. App developers like them as they clearly separate their app from the ad; meanwhile, advertisers enjoy the benefit of having a user’s full attention, allowing them to advertise without hindrance.
With all of that said, interstitial ads must be used with caution. Google has released penalties for interstitial ads that significantly intrude on a user’s experience. These include interstitial ads that require being closed before access to the central content is granted, and interstitial ads that are found on the web and in apps where the ad stays above-the-fold — the main content is only accessible when a user scrolls down to view it.
In other words, employed correctly, interstitial advertising can be very beneficial, but it needs to be used responsibly. Advertisers need to remember that you annoy a mobile user at your peril. Integrating interstitial ads that enhance the experience will always be the key to success, and the mobile user will reward advertisers, and developers too, in return.
