How it works

There is one rule and it is simple: every impression goes to the network that pays the most for it right now, country by country, measured from that network's own reports. Everything else in the panel exists to show you that number and let you move it.

1. The numbers

Network eCPM — your revenue per 1,000 impressions your network counted. The number in your own panel.
Fill — impressions your network counted divided by our requests sent to you. Blocked, unfilled or unpaid requests lower it.
Real eCPM = network eCPM × fill — your revenue per 1,000 of our requests. This decides who wins the country. Two networks with the same CPM but different fill are not equal to us.
Window — the price is your real eCPM over the last 48 reported hours, flat, no thresholds and no manual shares. The current hour is not counted until it ends, so a report lag never punishes you.

2. Routing

For every placement and country the network with the highest real eCPM gets the impressions. A fixed small share goes to the other networks so their price stays measured and a better offer can take the lead within the hour. There are no favourites and no hand-set percentages: the report decides.

3. Reports

We pull your statistics through your API every 15 minutes, by zone, country and hour, and re-read the last 72 hours each time so late corrections land. Networks that report per hour are priced per hour; day-level reports are spread over the day's hours by our requests. Fill above 100 % simply means your report landed later than our log; full-day totals reconcile.

4. Spots: your zone on every placement

  1. Open Spots and filter «where I have no zone».
  2. Create a zone of the shown type and size in your network and copy its ID and tag.
  3. Paste them, press Preview — the tag renders in an isolated frame exactly as the site will show it — and Connect.
  4. The zone is live within minutes and starts with the exploration share; as soon as your report shows a price it competes for the country.

5. Bids: more volume in a country

On any placement × country row the bid field is pre-filled with the price that beats the current leader at your fill. Press Bid: your cell is priced at that CPM immediately and you get a trial volume. During the trial your report is compared with your bid; after it, only your real eCPM counts. Set the same CPM in your own system before you bid — otherwise the trial ends and the traffic drops back. Bidding high and delivering low ends with a strike.
