Each Ad Exchange has its own specific rules and restrictions. In the table below you can find basic information about generalized verticals. They may be approved (marked as "O"), rejected ("X") or regulated ("R") per a specific Ad Exchange. If vertical is regulated by Ad Exchange it means that there are some restrictions for example related to geo, offer content, advertised product, etc.

Notes & Best Practices

  • A news app placement which offers a diverse and big audience with different interests. Yet, the key to make in-app traffic work is to change creatives on a regular basis - more often than you would normally do when running a campaign on websites. The reason behind it is that the audience is less diversified on in-app than on web traffic

  • Ad Space IDs, Creatives, OS and OS versions, States and Cities, Device Models and Brands - pay special attention to these reports when optimizing your campaign
