    148. A Buyer's Introduction to Made For Arbitrage (MFA) Sites

    Could your ad dollars be slipping through the cracks of digital advertising? Our latest episode peels back on the shady world of Made for Arbitrage (MFA) sites, where clickbait is king and quality content takes a backseat. We discuss how your everyday household brands can inadvertently fuel these revenue traps, with the likes of Amazon and Forbes grappling to uphold ad integrity amidst site spoofing shenanigans. With a dive into Adalytics reports and the challenges of frequency capping, we're on a mission to empower programmatic traders and buyers to recognize and evade these digital landmines.
    So, if you're ready to elevate your understanding of MFA(s) and steer clear of its pitfalls, tune in for an episode that combines practical insights with actionable advice—and yes, next week, we'll unravel yet another layer of the ad tech onion, Adalytics report #2 on Forbes!

    146. A Buyer's Introduction to Supply Path Optimization

    146. A Buyer's Introduction to Supply Path Optimization

    Here’s a training I lead on LinkedIN and YouTube live in March on How to create a Supply Path Toolbox as a programmatic trader and buyer.
    I guide you through practical examples, including a live report analysis, offering a tangible grasp of optimizing a site's supply. We explore the importance of choosing the right Supply-Side Platforms (SSPs), sellers, and sites, emphasizing how this selection can lead to improved campaign performance and a more sustainable programmatic ecosystem. Moreover, listen/watch in as we unravel the 'triple S'—SSP, seller, and site—and their pivotal roles in the advertising supply chain.

    Traders, take note of the invaluable checklist for routine optimization tasks shared to keep your campaigns at their peak.
    To get the training roadmap mentioned and the deck, request it here:

    Access the YouTube here:
    https://youtube.com/live/-agrIW_J5zE 
     
    This is a great opportunity to understand best practices when optimizing sites and how to make data driven decisions based on your campaigns objectives. 
     
    What To Expect: 
    - Live example of how to optimize (I'll go over a report sample and walk you through clear steps on how to execute on your own) 
    - How to continue learning from me (free and paid training opportunities)
