Clients wishing to place their banner ads on the Google Display Network, often ask about which banner sizes they should opt for.
The Research
Here are the basic options:
- Banner: 468 x 60;
- Leaderboard: 728 x 90;
- Square: 250 x 250;
- Small square: 200 x 200;
- Large rectangle: 336 x 280;
- Inline rectangle: 300 x 250;
- Skyscraper: 120 x 600;
- Wide skyscraper: 160 x 600;
- Half page: 300 x 600.
In order to answer this question we carried out a brief research. Even though it’s small, it does involve the Mobile leaderboard banner (320 x 50), as it’s only available in non-animated image ads. We conducted a sampling of 20 million impressions and here’s what we got: 
So, the top-3 most effective banner sizes appeared to be:
- Leaderboard: 728 x 90;
- Wide skyscraper: 160 x 600;
- Inline rectangle: 300 x 250.
We hope that these statistics will help you to choose the best banner ad size on the Google Display Network.
