It’s World Publisher Day today! Just joking. But we might as well call it the PubGalaxy Publishers Day as we are putting our Premium publishers in the spotlight! Watch their videos below: “One of the best choices I’ve ever made, because now I’m free to let them deal with it. If I have an issue, I write one person.

Monetization
At PubGalaxy, we love specialization and we focus on every aspect of website monetization. One of the most important factors for the long-term success of publishers is, inevitably, brand safety. Hence, the rise of the Ad Quality team within PubGalaxy. Most Common Ad Quality Issues Nowadays publishers’ most common problem is mobile ad malware. It represents about 95% of the total, far more compared to the desktop one – 5%. The first reason is that desktop computers have a lot more tools for properly detecting problems like Phishing, Back Button Hijacking or Auto-redirecting.
Are you struggling with the Publisher’s Two Hats Challenge? Our strategist is here to help. All PubGalaxy publishers get access to a customer team, including a dedicated strategist who is focusing on additional monetization opportunities, knowledge of ad formats, viewability, and the industry to be able to provide best practice and advice, catering to the specific audience and publisher needs. Today, we introduce Boris Shterev, PubGalaxy’s Customer Success Strategist. Q: Hi, Boris. How would you describe your work with Premium publishers?

It’s important to take the publishers’ uniqueness into account and help them grow in their own way, instead of simply providing rehearsed solutions, even though we have certain limitations enforced by the industry, which makes it challenging to strike a balance at times.

Unfortunately, there are plenty of obstacles they need to face, including the small fill rates or the matter of recurring video errors. Today, we are going to discuss a few helpful ways of increasing your sometimes unpredictable video ad revenue, no matter what video platform you might be using. Tip #1: Use Multiple Ad Networks Lots of publishers make the mistake of using just one video ad network. This is not efficient because a single ad network is not capable of covering the ad inventory of an entire business. While you might think that you have hit the jackpot once you have signed off with an exclusive ad provider, you might, later on, discover that the fill rates will simply not rise to your expectations. Since it would be almost impossible for just a single provider to reach 100% fill rates, it would be best to always have a backup of at least a couple of different providers.
