When a client device loads a resource, a request for a first content item for a first content item slot is transmitted to a content item selection system. The content item selection system uses a predictive model to determine a predicted content item slot based on a document object model position of the first content item slot and a URL of the resource or a publisher identifier. Parameters for the predicted content item slot are used to select a subsequent content item for the predicted content item slot. The first content item and the subsequent content item are transmitted to the client device responsive to the request. The subsequent content item includes metadata indicative of the parameters of the predicted content item slot to be matched to a subsequent content item slot of the resource.

Serving multiple content items responsive to a single request

Systems and methods for providing interstitial content are disclosed. A notification of an opportunity for presenting interstitial content on a client device is received at a content server. The content server generates an interstitial configuration object including computer-readable instructions for presenting the interstitial content on the client device and delivers the interstitial configuration object for execution by the client device. The interstitial configuration object causes the client device to render the interstitial content as a hidden element of a first resource while the first resource is presented on the client device and to reveal the rendered interstitial content in response to a user command to navigate away from the first resource.
