The Coalition’s Better Ads Standards identify the ad experiences that fall beneath a threshold of consumer acceptability and are most likely to drive consumers to install ad blockers. More than 150,000 consumers have participated to date in the Coalition’s research to develop its set of Better Ads Standards.
Extensive consumer input and empirical data shaped the Better Ads Standards. While the Coalition’s consumer research was designed to identify the least preferred ad types, it also provides insight into consumers’ evaluation of a far broader range of ad experiences, including those more preferred by consumers. By focusing the definition of Better Ads Standards on the least preferred ad experiences, the Coalition’s methodological approach leaves open the possibility for continued innovation in the development of new ad experiences. Visit the Coalition’s research page to learn more about the other tested ad experiences.
For purposes of the current Better Ads Standards, an "ad" is promotional content displayed on the web as the result of a commercial transaction with a third party.

The Coalition encourages advertisers, publishers, app developers, and advertising technology providers to review its research and the Better Ads Standards, as part of their efforts in the marketplace to improve the online ad experience.
