Google is using the Coalition for Better Ads’ Better Ads Standards for determining what makes an obnoxious ad experience for users. Examples include video ads that play at full volume, flashing display ads, popups with hard-to-find exit buttons and prestitial ads that block users from seeing content on the page.
An example of an ad experience that didn’t make the annoying list is anchor ads which remain at the bottom or top of the screen as users scroll.
