Ad Monetization Tips: Maximizing your App Ad revenues for the holidays using the Microsoft Ad Monetization platform<\/p>\n
Did you know that app developers make the most money from Advertising during the holiday season than at any other time of the year? Advertisers spend huge sums promoting their brands through Digital Ad campaigns during this period.\u202f Are you ready to take advantage of this and maximize Ad revenues for your Windows apps this holiday season?<\/p>\n
If you haven’t already,\u202f join the tens of thousands of Windows app developers using the\u00a0Microsoft Advertising SDK\u00a0<\/b><\/a>and the Microsoft Ad Monetization platform as their Ad monetization solution. Integrating the SDK into your app is straightforward and you should be able to get up and running in just about a day.\u202fThe Microsoft Ad Monetization platform provides higher fill rates and better\u00a0eCPMs\u00a0on a variety of Ad formats including Banner, Native and Interstitial Video Ads. The platform uses Machine Learning to maximize App Ad revenues by selecting the potentially highest yield Ad response on every Ad request. Also, with a single integration to the platform through the SDK, you get access to the growing portfolio of our Ad network partners such as\u00a0SpotX,\u00a0Smartclip\u00a0etc. without making additional code changes when new networks get added.<\/p>\n Placing the Ad in the right place on the app increases user visibility and click performance of the ad unit, which directly improves monetization. Advertisers are likely to bid higher if the Ad viewability scores are higher for your app. Optimize for viewability and clicks and see your revenue increase.<\/p>\n By choosing the ‘Automatic’ option, you let the Microsoft Ad Monetization platform choose the best mediation settings to maximize the yield for your app. This is done using Machine learning algorithms that\u00a0take into account\u00a0several app, user and environment features to pick the optimal order of Ad networks to maximize Ad yield.<\/p>\n Video ads are a great way to monetize but when a video ad request is not converted into an impression, a great option is to use Interstitial banner as a fallback and make the most of the opportunity to monetize that ad space.<\/p>\n If your app does not target children under 13, then Targeted Ads are a great way to maximize your Ad monetization potential. Incorrect classification of your app as ‘directed at children under the age of 13’ while\u00a0in reality it\u00a0is not, can cause Ad revenues to drop as the Ads returned in this\u00a0situation are not targeted\/relevant. Also, Ad requests for such apps are not sent to Ad networks that are not COPPA compliant, thereby causing Ad fill rates on your app to drop.<\/p>\n Have you considered adding in support for Ad formats such as Interstitial Video (link<\/a>) and Native Ads (link<\/a>) in your app? These richer Ad formats have higher yield than standard banner Ads and can make a considerable difference in your App Ad revenues especially during the holiday season.<\/p>\n Implementing these very simple steps is a great way to ensure you are maximizing the Ad monetization potential for your apps and setting yourself up for higher Ad revenues during this holiday season!<\/p>\n Source: Ad Monetization Tips: Maximizing your App Ad revenues for the holidays using the Microsoft Ad Monetization platform<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ad Monetization Tips: Maximizing your App Ad revenues for the holidays using the Microsoft Ad Monetization platform Did you know that app developers make the most money from Advertising during the holiday season than at any other time of the year?
