(If you don\u2019t get it, we apologize for the many quotes and references to come.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left p1\">A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, an evil empire of corporations ruled the advertising universe with an iron fist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left p1\">Okay, this was only a few years ago, but still.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-giphy wp-block-embed-giphy\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/giphy.com\/gifs\/henry-tilney-xerZ2zfvvvbag\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">Fortunately, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/what-is-mediavine-ad-management-and-so-much-more\/\">Mediavine<\/a> sparked a rebellion that would ultimately dethrone the oligarchs of this industry, restoring balance, efficiency, innovation and integrity to the galaxy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>How did a small band of publishers rise above powers so great they seemed invincible? <\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">Whether you\u2019re a Jedi Master or a padawan, May the Fourth be the day we enlighten you &#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"p1 wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-decide-you-must-how-to-serve-them-best\"><b>\u201cDecide you must, how to serve them best.\u201d<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">When it comes to digital advertising, most new publishers get their feet wet with Google AdSense. It\u2019s easy to see why; AdSense is as ubiquitous as it is simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">Sign up for an account, place a few snippets of code here and there on your pages and the earnings roll in, albeit very slowly. Hey, it\u2019s easy, and better than nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">Along the way, you might build on this by signing up with a few other ad networks and have them compete against each other, using a free <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/server-to-server\/\">ad server<\/a> or plugin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">That\u2019s great! You\u2019re on the right track. In order to maximize earnings, competition is needed. After all, if there are only one or two bidders in an auction, demand for your supply will yield a very inexpensive price \u2014 same as with most industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">More competition leads to increased bid pressure, which will drive up the price for those same ad units. When it comes to digital ad partners, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/more-sites-helps-yours-grow\/\">more is more<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">Unfortunately, managing multiple partners can very quickly become overwhelming, slowing down your site and cutting into time you could be devoting to content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">Not to mention, many ad managers \u2014 including well-established, powerful industry names \u2014 lack the transparency, technology and publisher-first focus you need to succeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">If you only knew the kinds of things these companies do \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-giphy wp-block-embed-giphy\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/giphy.com\/gifs\/INCJE4TJF96z6\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">As a premiere ad management company that has helped build thousands of businesses for content creators, Mediavine works with all of the major <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/what-is-an-ssp\/\"><span class=\"s1\">Supply Side Platforms<\/span><\/a> (SSP) in the industry today. Furthermore, Mediavine is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/mediavine-google-certified-publishing-partner\/\"><span class=\"s1\">Google Certified Publishing Partner<\/span><\/a>, a distinction given to only a select handful of companies worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">What this means is that our business practices and technical methodology have been vetted thoroughly, and we have proven ourselves as experts in Google AdSense, Google Ad Exchange and Google Ad Manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">All of these resources are integral to meeting the revenue goals for more than 10,000 publishers. We have done \u2014 and continue to do \u2014 the heavy lifting on your behalf. By <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/should-i-put-ads-on-my-website\/\">placing your site\u2019s ads<\/a> under Mediavine\u2019s umbrella, you get to take full advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"p1 wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-judge-me-by-my-size-do-you\"><b>\u201cJudge me by my size, do you?\u201d <\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">Diminutive Jedi Master Yoda showed Luke Skywalker a thing or 10 about underestimating the little guy, but when it comes to major ad exchanges, size actually does matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">What advertisers are willing to pay only gets better the more ad inventory you can send their way \u2014 and with Mediavine, you\u2019re part of a much greater, ever-growing pool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left p1\">You might be thinking, \u201cWhat difference does it make? My site\u2019s content is still relevant and valuable whether I run my own ads or if Mediavine does it for me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-giphy wp-block-embed-giphy\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/giphy.com\/gifs\/siz-jYuM5CqaJ2h32\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">We don\u2019t disagree, but try to think of it from the perspective of an ad buyer looking for the most efficient way to reach a large audience of the most relevant users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">Would you rather search the web, cherry-picking sites that fit the bill regardless of size \u2014 or find a giant pool of neatly organized inventory from a known, trusted source?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">Understanding and leveraging this fact is precisely why we built our ad technology to scale, and why <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/mediavine-is-for-big-publishers-and-smaller-blogs-too\/\"><span class=\"s1\">Mediavine is for big bloggers<\/span><\/a> as well as small.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">We now have 10,000+ sites, which range from 50,000 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/how-to-find-sessions-in-google-analytics\/\">sessions<\/a> per month to millions. With every publisher, our ad inventory becomes more valuable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">When comparing&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/what-is-q1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Q1<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;of 2018 to 2023, this growth in publishers, coupled with new and exciting technologies, has helped our publishers achieve over an 80% increase in average&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/how-do-i-improve-my-rpm\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">RPM<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"p1 wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-in-a-dark-place-we-find-ourselves-and-a-little-more-knowledge-lights-our-way\"><b>\u201cIn a dark place we find ourselves, and a little more knowledge lights our way.\u201d<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">Let\u2019s say you\u2019ve succeeded in setting up some competition for your site\u2019s ads while growing your audience to the point where programmatic advertisers take notice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">Now would be the time to start analyzing the data to see what is working and where and maximize earnings accordingly. Sounds simple enough, right? Not so fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">Remember that CPMs vary wildly based on geographic region, device type and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/ad-revenue-seasons\/\"><span class=\"s1\">seasonality<\/span><\/a>. We even see wild swings in CPMs between different types of mobile phones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">There is no magic, \u201cone size fits all\u201d solution to ad inventory pricing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">What Mediavine offers is a dedicated staff dissecting this data each day to decide exactly how to price inventory based on what time of year it is, where each specific user of your site lives, what kind of device they have in their hand and on and on and on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">Other companies may offer you get-rich-quick ideas that sound great, but those aren\u2019t sustainable over the long term and may irreparably hurt your user experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left p1\">Mediavine emphasizes long-term ad optimization and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/mediavine-publishers-grow-exponentially-after-joining-heres-why\/\">overall website growth<\/a>, not just empty, short-term promises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left p1\">If someone pitches you on an overly-simple, instantaneous plan that sounds too good to be true, don\u2019t fall for it because chances are &#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-giphy wp-block-embed-giphy\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/giphy.com\/gifs\/starwars-movie-star-wars-3ornka9rAaKRA2Rkac\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left p1\"><em>You are in good hands with us.
