In this article, beyond letting you know about our big AMPHTML launch, we’re going to discuss the WHATS, WHERES, WHYS, AND HOWS of everything AMP ads.
Let’s dive in.
THE WHAT: What is AMPHTML?
A quick glimpse into how big AMP is: Did you know that Google Ads requires only AMPHTML from all new advertisers and simple HTML5 is only allowed “by request” for Google Ad accounts with a $9K+ spent budget?
This is how big AMP is getting. The AMPHTML framework is impressively changing the way ads are built, delivered and measured on the web. They are quicker, lighter and smoother running compared to regular ads. AMP is the “2.0” for banner ads, and now, on OnlyMega you can easily design and download in this format.
But wait, you need to know what exactly AMPHTML is. So let’s get into that.
As mentioned before AMPHTML is a framework created by Google back in 2015 with the goal of staying quick and competitive against other advertising platforms such as Facebook. AMP stands for Accelerated Mobile Pages. But to put it simply: AMPHTML is code that allows your banners and other creations to run smoothly.
When you create ads using this framework you are enhancing how your ads are viewed, as well as speed and the deliverability. AMP increases viewability too and CTR rates blow through the roof as your advertising content is now viewed faster, in a clear form, and smooth as ever. AMP is all about the user experience and keeping your business growing. Google, being one of the biggest (if not the one) advertising platforms, created it so that ads would run fluently and keeping businesses updated with the framework.
THE WHERE: Where are all the AMPHTML Ads?
Where are all these amazing ads and banners running? If not into coding, you might not know right off the bat which are AMPHTML ads and which aren’t. But, you’d be surprised about how users catch the tiniest glitch or snag preventing their user-experience to run as smoothly as expected.
Have you ever run into a page that doesn’t load in less than 5 seconds and just bounced out? Well, this is what AMPHTML is looking to avoid: Slower loading times, snags, and glitches on any banner or ad served anywhere on the web.
Quick Fact? AMP ads are compatible with any platform.
Basically, with Google’s new AMPHTML ads guideline and AMP being compatible in any platform you’ll be able to find them anywhere. They can be served in both AMP and non-AMP pages across the web.
Here, some examples of how you can compare regular ads vs. AMP ads:
As advertising continues to be the cornerstone of almost every business model, AMP will fundamentally change the way your ads are built and delivered across the web. Now, when the time comes to brand, advertise or market your own business, you’ll be doing it in the best way and with the best tools at hand, without even having to worry about platform compatibility. How’s that for efficiency?

It’s amazing how quickly and smoothly AMPHTML banners and ads load in comparison to regular ads. This attracts engagement and boosts CTR rates through the roof.
Take a look: The average mobile site takes about 19 seconds to load over a 3G connection. 12% of conversions fall for every additional second a webpage takes to load completely. What if you could avoid any of this from happening, because today, speed equals performance. This is where AMP comes in. It considerably improves campaign performance, delivering quality and user experience. Let’s face it, AMP is your next amazing asset.
AMPHTML is faster than ever
AMP ads are 6x faster than regular ads, which improves viewability, effectiveness, and performance and don’t even get us started on how greatly it refines the user experience. Because of the quicker load times and the smooth running of the ads, you are optimizing the chances of users seeing and engaging with your ads.
AMPHTML is Revenue Friendly
When delivering positive experiences, your brand will ensure that even the last cent paid is effective for your goals. Since AMPHMTL ads load on average 5x faster than the non-AMP ads, this naturally leads to higher conversion rates. Plus, AMPHTML ads are 3x lighter which assures every ad you put out there works to its best performance, being definitely ROI friendly.
AMPHTML is Safe
Many users browsing on the web may believe that ads are often malware or a virus waiting to attack. Another big differentiator from regular ads is that AMP ads are totally safe from malware, as they are verified before being served, so that you, as an advertiser will ensure a safer end-to-end user experience.
