Using a template automatically applies background and padding around the ad creative. It naturally fills empty space when the creative size is smaller than the Ad Unit.Background ColorIf not using a template, you can set the background color directly. Choose a color that matches your app or website design.
When multiple campaigns are running, carousel is activated to rotate ads. Ads are displayed in random order to prevent performance concentration on the first ad.
Video banners cannot use carousel.
Carousel ActivationSelect whether to use carousel when creating an Ad Unit.
Situation
Behavior
Multiple Campaigns
Carousel is created and ads rotate during display
Single Campaign with Multiple Creatives
Creatives are randomly displayed at equal rates without carousel
Indicator DisplayShows which ad is currently displayed. Appears in the bottom right as “current position/total count” format (e.g., 1/3).Rolling TimeThe interval at which the carousel automatically switches. Default is 3 seconds, with 3-4 seconds recommended per ad.Operation Policy
While it seems efficient to show multiple ads in limited space, actual monetization data and user psychology show it’s not as effective as expected.Viewability DeclineOnly the first slide has exposure effect. Users quickly scroll without waiting 3-5 seconds for the next slide. Later ads load but aren’t actually seen, creating ‘phantom impressions’ that can lower bid prices over time.Divided AttentionCTR is highest when a single static banner delivers a clear message. When images constantly change and multiple messages roll, users feel fatigued by information processing and tend to look away.Banner BlindnessUsers tend to recognize ‘moving sliders’ as ad areas and ignore them. Visibility is lower compared to native ads that naturally blend into content.Recommended Alternatives

Single Banner
Display the best-performing ad permanently to improve CTR
Add Separate Ad Units
Add Ad Units in different locations instead of carousel to secure exposure opportunities
Carousel has good ‘space efficiency’ but poor ‘ad efficiency (revenue)’. If maximizing revenue is your goal, we recommend single banners.
When multiple campaigns are running, ads rotate in carousel format.Carousel Display Count Limit
Setting
Behavior
OFF
Display up to 20 (system default)
ON
Specify maximum between 1-20 (default 5)
Limiting carousel count to 3-4 increases user focus and improves CTR.
Display PriorityWhen available ads exceed carousel limit, they are selectively displayed based on the following priority.
Priority
Criteria
1
Ads with Targeting settings prioritized
2
Ads with smaller Targeting pool prioritized
3
Ads with lower Campaign progress prioritized
4
CPP ads displayed randomly
If carousel limit is less than sold slots, ads are randomly selected for display. As carousel count increases, ad efficiency decreases, so we recommend adjusting slot count to match carousel limit.
