    Lately I have been using video sliders from multiple ad networks; they are working better than any other ad format.

    On mobile, above-player and below-player work well. On desktop banners just don't work. I haven't found any good use for NTV space; banners suck, natives aren't any better there, chaturbate "online now" widget also doesn't work so well. I think users are just blind to that space these days.

    Pops and skims are still great if you use them right. I hide them behind user-agent detection and cookies (don't show them if the user-agent looks like google. Don't show them on the first page view--track this with cookies).

    Native ads hidden in your content work well, but not nearly as well as video sliders.

    I'm tempted on my new projects to just ignore every ad type besides video sliders, pops, and skims.
    Sliders are hell cool new way to earn extra revenue. Ads there are nicely made, and have good CTR. Revenue is good as well.
    Do you run any pre-rolls?

      My tubes are all embedded, so I can't run pre-roll on the video players.

      I have tried putting pre-roll in an auto-play iframe NTV but for some reason it doesn't generate hardly any clicks. I'm still running it and getting paid well for it but I'm not generating clicks, eventually the ad network will notice and tell me to stop. lol

        Good news here. Now you can
        We made an overlay pre-roll ad format, so you can stick it up to any player, even embeded.

        Any object on your page actually.

            Native supposed to replace banner ads, but still just another size to my mind. Some networks also show misslead ads or even pop windows and new tabs from that.
            But some native look very nice

              Some of the legit news sites have ads that take up half a page.... It's freaking annoying.

                Ads on mainstream sites are just too overwhelming now I'm surprised everyone doesn't use an ad blocker of some kind.

                    The best native advertising I use is with programmatic networks like Taboola or Outbrain.
                    I wish we had these type of content marketing in our industry too.

                        Video ads are the same videos you gonna watch when click play button.

                          These two are monsters, godzillas in native ads, they do great job.
                          Btw would it be awesome to combine them using ad mediation service?
                          Getting all advantages of both (and couple more companies) for maximum performance?

                            I have a way to simplify that. Let's say you're reading the AVN news, or Camlife Mag. Instead of having a banner, you can have a native content piece. Instead of having everyone see the same piece, the type of an ad item would change per user according to data and interest.
                            What we need is collaboration and content.

                              Slow loading ads, especially anything on galleries which have to be viewed page by slow loading page with no thumbnail navigation.

                              Programmatic which grossly mistargets me.

                                Mobile phone ads. So many and they load so slowly. I now have a small drive attached to my phone which stores videos I want to see. It avoids surfing and putting up with the ads.

                                Internet is better as I have adblocker installed. Yet to find a browser that blocks ads that works.
