Can anyone tell me the difference between a pop-up and a "fenêtre interstitielle" which I translated as pop-up until I realised that pop-up occurs later in the text as well.
"La publicité sur internet peut revêtir de nombreuses formes : bannières publicitaires, liens commerciaux, ***fenêtre interstitielle*** (une page web qui s’ouvre en attendant le chargement d’une autre, par exemple au démarrage d’un site), pop up (une fenêtre qui s’ouvre en plus de celle du site consulté), animations flash, etc. Votre stratégie marketing internet doit définir les formes qui seront les plus efficaces pour toucher votre cible en vue d’augmenter le trafic sur votre site internet."
Many thanks everyone.

interstitial page
This is normally referred to in the UK as an interstitial page rather than a window. It's an "in-between" page that come up before you go to the page you actually want.
For example, when I log onto my UK bank's online banking service, I put in my login details and hit "Submit", it verifies my details, and I am then taken to a page which has a summary of current offers. I am invited to click on any of the offers for more details, or click on "Continue" to go to my account homepage. This is an example of an interstitial page.

Of course, I meant to say "...page that comes up...". Must try not to type so fast...

| OK, now I understand. It's incredible how many terms can just be translating directly in an IT context. Bit dangerous though so thought I'd better check. |

interstitial advertising window
À l'ouverture d'une page Web, un second écran s'affiche sans que l'internaute en ait sollicité la venue. Une annonce publicitaire, habituellement animée et sonore, apparaît alors un bref instant (de 5 à 10 secondes) dans une fenêtre supplémentaire du navigateur pendant le chargement de la page Web, puis disparaît.
À noter que l'adjectif interstitiel, bien qu'il soit associé au mot interstice, s'écrit avec un t et non un c (dernière syllabe) et se prononce comme ciel.

| Thanks, Philippe. I'm going to go with Rob's interstitial page to ensure there is no confusion with a pop-up which comes up later on in the same sentence. :-) |
