You Might Also Like : high interactive value ads

"You Might Also Like" Ads is located at the bottom of the application details page. After entering the details page information of an application, users can find it by swiping to the bottom.

With this ads slot, developers can place their own ads on the detail pages of other apps. When users browse the application details page, they are in a relatively open state and are willing to learn more about different products. Therefore, this advertising space has a strong sense and high interactive value.

Developers can choose which categories of applications to launch under , but they cannot specify a specific APP to launch.
