If you’re in the market for a video game console, you may be wondering whether you should use VPAID or VAST. These two types of tags collect different types of information, including user engagement. But which is better? What can you expect from each? Here’s a look at each of these technologies. And if you’re still confused, we’ll walk you through each of their differences in the following sections.
VPAID
One of the major differences between VPAID and VAST is the method used for viewability measurement. While both methods can measure viewability, VAST has a number of disadvantages. Because VAST can’t read certain types of video files, it can override VPAID. However, the lack of viewability standards has created a distrust among publishers. While VAST is a newer technology, it is still in beta and is still in need of some work.
VAST
In a battle between linear video ads and pay-per-click ads, it’s essential to know the differences between these two types of video ad technology. Although VAST is more widely used, it is still not widely used in all video players. VPA, on the other hand, allows publishers to create their own custom video player technology. The benefits of using VPA over VAST are many, including more transparency and higher conversion rates.
VPAID tags
VPAID tags are correlated to video advertising. This standard is not new to the ad tech world, but they are gaining popularity. VPAID is short for Video Player ad-serving interface definition. Publishers typically request VPAID when they have VOD inventory. The VPAID tag contains multiple tracking pixels and video files. Publishers are responsible for rendering the video assets and firing the tracking pixels. VPAID tags are more robust than VAST ad tags, but they have limited functionality, such as viewability and client-side logic.
VPAID tags collect more information on user engagement
Unlike the VAST ad standard, which relies on video to track user engagement, VPAID tags record more information about ad performance. A VPAID-compliant ad unit can measure user engagement and performance metrics, and VPAID tags are supported on desktop and mobile devices. These tags communicate with video players by sending an XML file containing instructions to the ad player.
VPAID tags collect more information on user interactions with the ad
VPAID is an innovative way of tracking user interactions with ads and is particularly useful for ensuring the effectiveness of campaigns. The tags collect information on playback and user interactions and make it easier for advertisers to refine their campaigns. It is available on mobile devices and can be implemented through HTML5 ad builder software. The latest version of VPAID supports multiple ad formats and can be integrated into other ad types.
