Recommendations¶
If the settings are too strict the strategy will buy all available traffic that falls into viewability requirements, but it may not be enough to spend the allocated budget and achieve the volume goals. The possible causes of this may be:
Low CPMs
Low CPMs with strict targeting
High CTRs with limited traffic volumes
Strategy Settings¶
Advertiser budget¶
The total budget of the line item includes margin, extra fees, and media cost. This strategy will spend 100% of the budget during the specified flight dates with lifetime pacing. The budget will not be fully spent if some settings, e.g. CPM, margin, targetings are too strict, as there will not be enough inventory to purchase.
Maximum average CPM¶
The CPM in this strategy is a restriction for the optimization engine, i.e. the average CPM will never be higher than specified. As the strategy has lifetime pacing, it can buy some inventory with CPMs higher than specified, but the final average CPM will be equal or lower than specified.
Target margin¶
Margin is a fixed percentage of the total media cost. The target CPL is automatically calculated according to margin and the strategy will bid with the CPL decreased to cover the margin. This ensures the buying strategy always takes margin into account and complies with the target CPL.
