In-page push ads have only been around since 2020, yet in such a short amount of time, they have managed to attract the interest of marketers and publishers, the reason being how effective they are.
In-page push ads are banner ads that resemble classic web push notifications in design and usage, although entirely different from web push ads in many aspects. You may have seen them on top of websites or as you scroll down. They consist of a title, an eye-attracting icon, and the message to the audience. Unlike push notifications, these don’t need a user’s subscription and cover more ground by working on all desktop and mobile devices. As for payment, In-page push ads work almost exclusively based on the CPC (Cost-Per-Click) model. You’re missing out as a marketer if you don’t have them in your toolshed.

There are some benefits to using in-page push ads. In this section, we’ll see some of the most important ones.
Your ads are visible to users from all technologies, old or new, mac or windows, android or iOS. Targeting iPhone users alone is a massive advantage in the impossible-for-iOS web push vs. in-page debate. It may even be the ultimate trump card, attracting a new and highly engaging audience.
When Google released Chrome 80, ads were affected by third-party cookie blocking and push subscription blocking. That’s when in-page push ads came to affiliate marketers’ rescue.

In-page push ads are visible to all users, even those who haven’t consented to receive notifications.
One benefit of push ads was that users who did want to receive push ads were more likely to interact with them. Still, a well-done in-page push is just as if not more prone to bringing more traffic.
Marketing is an art, and creativity will get you far in this line of work. But part of that involves following trends that have worked for others. In-page push ads show a high conversion rate.
For website owners (known as publishers), push notifications are just a piece of code they can implement in their webpage. Affiliate marketers should start by looking for a publisher or make their lives easier by using a push ads network. But there are many options out there. Do your research and choose one that works best for you.
There are a couple of meters you'd want in a good network:
The more options you get, the better it is. Preferred and more used targets are country, city, device, and browser. An affiliate marketer should experiment with these options until they find what's working and what isn't. For example, some products may do better on a city scale than the country. Certain day hours may appeal more to the desired audience (i.e., gamers after the evening). Browser language is also something to consider for marketing products across a country since language varies state-to-state in some countries.
It only takes a few seconds for users to evaluate and decide whether to interact with an ad or not. Here are some tips to make your in-page push ads attractive.
