It is also becoming more popular in in-app advertising because it makes buying and targeting ads easier and more efficient.

Given that in-app advertising allows advertisers to target particular audiences based on their activity, preferences, and location, it is one of the most successful types of mobile advertising. According to analysts, in-app advertising will continue expanding as more companies shift their advertising budgets to mobile.
