Top Metrics to Monitor

Now that we've introduced Insights let's examine the top metrics every publisher should monitor to optimize ad performance and maximize revenue.

• RPS (Revenue Per Session): Revenue per session measures the average revenue generated for every browsing session on your website. It provides valuable insights into the effectiveness of your ad monetization strategies and your website's overall revenue potential. By monitoring RPS, publishers can identify opportunities to increase revenue by optimizing ad placements, targeting, and user experience.
• Fill Rate: Fill rate measures the percentage of ad requests successfully filled with ads. A high fill rate indicates that many ad requests are being monetized. In contrast, a low fill rate may suggest potential revenue loss due to unsold ad inventory or ineffective ad placements. By monitoring fill rates, publishers can identify areas for optimization and maximize their ad revenue potential.
• Ads Per Session: Ads per session refers to the average number of ads displayed to users during a single browsing session. Monitoring ads per session can provide insights into user engagement and ad effectiveness. High ads per session may indicate strong user engagement and ad relevance, while low ads per session may suggest the need for adjustments to ad placement or targeting strategies.
• Prebid Win Rate: Prebid win rate measures the percentage of bid requests that result in a successful bid and ad impression. A high prebid win rate indicates that bids are successfully competing and winning auctions, maximizing revenue potential. Conversely, a low prebid win rate may signal the need for adjustments to bid optimization strategies or partnerships with demand partners.

By monitoring these key metrics (available on Insights), publishers can gain valuable insights into ad performance, user engagement, and revenue generation, allowing them to optimize their strategies and maximize their earning potential.
