A few months ago, Apple hinted towards new and sought-after positions on The Apple app store through an email message to developers.

Advertising

Advertisers can display their products on their product pages in Apple’s Apple App Store.

While browsing a particular app’s product pages and clicking on the “New Ad” button, a new advertisement appears at the bottom of the page in the section titled “You might also like.”

An excellent example of this placement is shown below:

This ad spot is available to all countries except China.

The product page ads are set up similarly to the other ad types, such as Search and Search Tab campaigns. Ads will be designed based on the current assets on your app’s page for a product, including the app’s name, icon, and subtitle.

The ads on the product page can be aired in all areas, but you can also make them more specific to specific categories you want to include.

What is it that makes this ad’s placement so controversial?

A few users, such as the tweeter of Florian Mueller, have been quick to condemn this move of power by Apple, saying that it’s a different way advertisers are required to be paid for their terms to have an ad displayed on their page for their product to shield it from the competition.

Apple is planning to double its ad revenue soon. One method to achieve this could be to allow brands to compete on individual terms, which makes the marketplace more fiercely competitive.

Meta provides further scrutiny of Apple expanding its advertising. The parent company behind Facebook has openly studied Apple’s plan to introduce enhanced privacy features to prevent third-party companies from tracking the performance of ads while expanding its advertising business.
