Improved Dynamic Allocation
Over the next few weeks, we’ll be releasing improvements to dynamic allocation that automatically increase a publisher’s revenue from remnant line items without impacting the delivery of guaranteed line items. Dynamic allocation works best when remnant line items have CPMs or CPCs that accurately reflect their true value.
Traffic and deliver ads
Traffic web interstitials (Beta)
You can now traffic full-page web ads that appear between page views. Web interstitials serve as an additional inventory and revenue source. Publishers can monetize web pages with impactful ads while respecting Better Ads Standards.
Add terms & conditions and a no-pause agreement to a proposal
As part of the negotiation process with a buyer, you can now add your own terms and conditions to a Programmatic Guaranteed proposal and also agree to not pause delivery.
- Terms and conditions specify the contract details of a proposal between the publisher and a buyer. These are custom terms and conditions that the publisher has an option to create. They’re not required and have no relationship to Google’s terms and conditions.
- You and the buyer can agree that neither party will pause a proposal once it’s delivering. It’s helpful to both publishers and buyers to make this agreement because it sets clear expectations about whether you want to allow pausing. It also acts as a reminder to not pause unnecessarily.
Target more ad formats
You can now target the following formats in line items and pricing rules for even more control in reaching your intended audience:
- Line items: You can target interstitial and anchor ads.
- Pricing rules: You can target interstitial, rewarded interstitial, app open, and anchor ads.
