How to use interstitial landing pages?
URL interstitials, landing pages and banner ads.
An Interstitial is a midway stopping points in the URL redirect (short URL > interstitial landing page > destination URL)
Typically an interstitial page is used for marketing purposes. Various branding or banner ads can be placed on this page and visitor
cannot click to continue until count down timer has finished. It can also be used to send any kind of message or notification to your short link users, as the
interstitial will have their undivided attention during the timer count down.
- If "redirect delay" is set to 0 - URLs will immediately redirect and not display interstitial pages.
- Content of any landing pages are hosted off-site and called through the URL (many platforms and options are available for hosting single webpages).
- "Interstitial URL" setting takes the URL of your off-site webpage and loads the content into the center of our interstitial page.
- The header portion of our interstial pages are reserved for directly placing banner ads.
- Tinycc users who have subscribed to a plan that includes Retargeting will be able to add custom html code to tags. If codes for banners, the ads will display in center of interstitial page header, just left of count down "Continue" button.
