Native advertising involves creating paid content that resembles a publication's normal editorial content in order to promote products or services. It is more effective than traditional digital ads because it does not look like an advertisement. There are three main types of native advertising: sponsored content, recommended content, and in-feed social ads. Native ads are effective because they appear where readers are already consuming content, attract more time and attention than mobile display ads, and increase brand recognition if created with readers in mind. While native advertising is growing in popularity and predicted to make up over half of mobile ad spending by 2020, disadvantages include potential negative reader experiences if not clearly disclosed as ads and lack of SEO benefits.
