Improved support for interstitial ads #755

+1 to Everything about this sounds great. Well-designed solution to a real problem. |
Please help me connect the dots for how bidders + DSPs are supposed to utilize minwidthperc/minheightperc. I see imp.instl in OpenRTB 2.5, but that's just a flag. From my reading of the standard, someone has to be responsible for actually defining sizes. |
The implementation is to say that any size between the min size and the screen size is a valid size for the auction. The savings on the bidder is that the validity check can simply be does the creative fall in the allowed range, rather than having a list of all possible sizes that fit in the range to be checked in turn. Saving on the publisher is that they don't need to revisit the list of allowed sizes as screen sizes and popular ad sizes changes change over time. This may not always work out well for the bidders, depending on how entrenched the current logic for matching ad sizes is. But supporting ranges will likely be a good thing to support in the long run as I can see native taking advantage of size ranges for creative content. |
Open question: should a min-size-aware bidder base the size range off the first listed size in the imp format and minimum percentages, or always base off the screen size. My feeling is that we should use the first listed size if present, the screen size if no size format is provided. There may be a use case to tying the interstitial max size to something other than the native size, but also introduces more complexity into the size resolving logic. |
Spoke with Hans about this. I'd like to see if we can fit the problem into where IAB is going with sizes. See https://www.iab.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/IABNewAdPortfolio_FINAL_2017.pdf -- note that OpenRTB 2.5 supports the aspect ratio, but it's not until OpenRTB 3.0 that the 'small/med/large' feature is mentioned. It seems reasonable to add that to the |
The main downside for flexads for interstitials is that interstitials scale off the screen size, which is a dynamic parameter and thus not really appropriate to hold in a stored request. So going forward with |

This should now be working in the latest version. Will close the issue soon if nothing new happens. |

Typically interstitial ads are full screen ads. Typical screen sizes don't always map to common ad sizes. Currently the way around this is to include a list of acceptable dimensions in the
format
object. This is less than ideal as publishers will have to guess what sizes will be available with a high demand, and bidders may have to contend with a long list of sizes if publishers go with a shotgun approach in hitting a high demand size for their space.A better solution would be to define a minwidth/minheight percent setting to pass on to bidders, which could then optimize their search for demand to cover the range of acceptable sizes rather than working off a list of sizes. This will save tuning the acceptable size list as interstitials become more common and device sizes proliferate, which will change the ad size landscape and optimal solutions over time.
