For those aiming to precisely target their audience with video ads at the optimal time and across diverse devices, understanding VAST tags is compulsory. Let\u2019s figure out what is VAST tags and how you can optimize them for the maximal revenue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_a_VAST_tag\"><\/span><b>What is a VAST tag?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Video Ad Serving Template, or VAST was developed by the IAB as a framework to embed third-party video ads into a video stream. The VAST framework includes a standardized structure that allows advertisers to serve ads across multiple ad inventories and various video ad players.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In general, A VAST tag is an ad script generated by ad servers that allow ad servers to communicate directly with video players. Think of a VAST tag as a tiny piece of code, written in a language called XML markup schema, that sits on a publisher\u2019s website where ads are shown. This code makes sure ads appear smoothly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Inside the VAST tag, there are details about the ad, such as what type of ad or the dimension the ad should be. These details are like a set of rules to guarantee the video ad will play as expected.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Integral_Elements_of_a_VAST_tag\"><\/span><b>Integral Elements of a VAST tag<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are three key elements that all VAST tag contains:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Media file: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each VAST tag includes a link to the media file holding the ad creative. It points to the URL where the media file can be downloaded or gives attributes to create a link to the ad server. Sometimes, it delivers specific details, and a link to the ad server is made for the creative part of the ad.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Video format: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The VAST tag also informs the video player what kind of video ad it is, such as a flash or MP4 video. This info is handy for the video player to know the right video format needed to play the ad smoothly.<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Tracking: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keeping an eye on how ads are doing is super important in video advertising. Inside the VAST tag, there&#8217;s usually a web link to a resource in the ad server. This link has a tracking pixel, like a tiny dot, that counts how many times the ad is seen. It also gathers other important info so the advertiser can figure out how well the video ad is working.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Besides these three main parts, publishers can add more attributes to their tags. These extra options help decide how an ad will look, and they can include things like:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What kind of ad it is (pre-roll or mid-roll).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How long the video ads are<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The dimensions\/size of the ads<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although it\u2019s very straightforward to create a VAST tag, there are several ways to do it:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Using Google Ad Manager: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google takes the lead when it comes to creating VAST tags for ads. They make the whole process easy and support both HTTP and HTTPS URLs.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-78081 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/premiumads.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/image3.png\" alt=\"gam vast tag\" width=\"775\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/premiumads.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/image3.png 775w, https:\/\/premiumads.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/image3-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/premiumads.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/image3-768x429.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 775px) 100vw, 775px\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Using third-party tools: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are various VAST tag generators to support necessary VAST specifications.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Manually: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While you can create your ad tags manually without using GAM and third-party tools, this method is not recommended as it may contain typos or mistakes that can affect the VAST tag performance.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"VAST_tag_examples\"><\/span><b>VAST tag examples<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here&#8217;s the full example of a VAST tag, packed with elements like unviewed_position_start, ciu_szs, and gdfp_req. These elements set the stage for video delayed impressions, lay out the sizes for companion ads, and signal that the user is in the Ad Manager schema.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-78079 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/premiumads.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/image1.png\" alt=\"vast tag example\" width=\"744\" height=\"580\" srcset=\"https:\/\/premiumads.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/image1.png 744w, https:\/\/premiumads.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/image1-300x234.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 744px) 100vw, 744px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But wait, there&#8217;s more!

This request spills contain information about available ad slots, what ad type it is, and targeting criteria.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"VAST_Inline_Response\"><\/span><b>VAST Inline Response<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When the ad server receives the request, it quickly sends an inline response right back to the video player. This response packs the video file needed to show the ad and URLs to track how the ad is performing.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"URL_Tracking\"><\/span><b>URL Tracking\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After the video has been played, the video player hits the go button on those tracking URLs (or tracking pixels).
