In-page notifications
In-page notifications are ad cards that look like push notifications but appear inside your page, in a corner of the screen, while the visitor is browsing. Visitors don't need to subscribe to see them, so they're a good way to earn from people who can't or won't allow push notifications.
How it works
When in-page notifications are on, dlserve shows up to a set number of cards at once in the corner you choose. Cards can rotate: every few seconds the oldest card is replaced with a new ad. If no ad is available at that moment, nothing changes until the next refresh.
There are two modes:
- Fallback only — non-subscribers: cards are shown only to visitors who can't or won't subscribe to push (their browser doesn't support it, or they declined). Your push subscribers don't see them.
- Always — all visitors: cards are shown to everyone, including push subscribers.
Set it up
- Go to Placements and click Edit on your placement.
- Open the Ad formats tab and choose In-page push.
- Turn on Enable inpage push.
- Pick a Mode and adjust the settings below.
- Click Save changes.
Changes reach your site within a few minutes.
Settings explained
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Mode | Who sees the cards — see the two modes above. |
| Desktop position | The corner cards appear in on computers: top right, top left, bottom right or bottom left. |
| Mobile position | The corner on phones. Same as desktop unless you choose otherwise. |
| Max notifications | How many cards can be visible at the same time (1–3). |
| Refresh interval | Seconds between new ads. 0 shows the cards once and stops. |
| Ad limit per page | The most ads shown during one page view. -1 means no limit. |
| Search query | Optional keywords that help pick relevant ads, for example best deals. |
| Sub ID | Optional traffic-source label sent with every in-page ad request and used in your reports. Empty = the page's domain. See Traffic sources. |
| Color scheme | Light or dark cards. |
| Hide description (title only) | Shows only the ad title, without the description line. |
Good to know
- Visible at once vs. how often: Max notifications controls how many cards are on screen together; Refresh interval controls how often a new one replaces the oldest.
- The limit is per page view: when a visitor opens another page, the count starts again.
- Web only: in-page notifications aren't available for Android app placements.
- Your in-page results appear in reports as Inpage shown, Inpage clicked and Inpage rev.
