The “Waterfall” Model
â—Ź Priorities can be set automatically by the mediator (based on historical performance), or
manually if you forge eCPM deals with ad networks directly
â—Ź Ensure that you initially set priorities manually to test out all the ad networks you work with.
This will ensure each ad network gets sufficient exposure, following which you can choose to
set auto-optimization

Editor's Notes

  • #7 Ad Network Management - Single SDK Integration, Unified Interface, Ranking Ad Networks on basis of eCPM, Fill. Pick and choose the networks you want Yield Optimization: Automate allocation based on historical performance. Word of caution on this- as mediation will push to their own networks as they don’t make money on mediation Increased Coverage: Several ad networks are optimized for a certain location. Sticking to one ad network restricts the reach publishers can get for their app. With the help of ad mediation platforms publishers’ apps can get a more global reach as they now have access to hundreds of ad networks together. Integration with the numerous ad networks also caters for localization thereby ensuring the ads shown on the publishers’ apps are relevant to their audience regardless of their location. Higher Fill Rates: Waterfall models enables this. Explained in details later App monetization in the end is a money game. Its all about the moolah!
  • #8 These are mediations that InMobi officially support
  • #12 Your app’s reach and scale – typically >20m impr/month is when you need to look at mediation. Do they have access to your desired ad network? Good demand mix(brand, perf, app downloads), local presence in your top 5 geos Ability to maintain direct ad network agreements - for transparency, make deals, align roadmap Support for desired ad formats & flexibility – very important – also tech support so they can help, ensure no drops Hosted ad server – to sell and serve direct, also run house ads – imp if you are non gaming Yield Optimization – do thye provide any account management over and above the automated algos?
