- Q:What is 2-Step Click™?
- A:AdSide's 2-Step Click™ provides an additional layer of lead qualification for clicks and traffic. This patent-pending model requires that users activate an initial ad message on the publisher's page to view an expanded version of the ad, before they can click on the ad. This ensures our advertisers only pay for double qualified clicks and that leads are likelier to convert. Click here to see a 2-Step Click™ sample ad.
