Daypart

Dayparting allows you to schedule Ad delivery at the times of the day when your target audience is more likely to convert. For example, for promoting Travel Apps Saturday and Sunday afternoons and evenings are the best dayparts to get downloads, so travel marketers can schedule Saturday and Sunday from 1 pm to 9 pm to show their ads. In this way, they buy the ad impressions that are more likely to generate clicks and conversions.

Targeting specific Exchanges

See how you can specify which Exchanges you would like your campaigns run on.
Bucksense has connections to all the major ad Exchanges so that you get an extensive reach of RTB inventory.

Depending on the type of inventory you want (display, native, video, app, desktop, etc), certain exchanges will be more suitable than others. For example, some exchanges focus on display placements while others are more specific to placements such as video.

To make sure you buy the optimal impressions to reach your target, your account manager can advise on which exchanges are the most suitable. By default, your campaigns will only run on the exchanges your account manager has enabled.

If you want to enable/disable specific exchanges, you can do so in your company settings. You will need to follow the steps below each time you create a new campaign or edit an existing one:

  1. Enable ‘Exchange selection
  2. Select the Exchange(s) you are looking to target
  3. Clicking on ‘Save all’ buttonexchanges

You can check the performance of the exchanges in the Acquisition Performance Report.

You just need to select ‘Exchange Name’ in the Dimensions to see the data in your report.exchange_2

If you want check the performance of individual exchanges, click on Filters, select Exchange Id and then select the Exchange(s) whose data you want to view.exchange_3

Frequency Capping

With Frequency Capping you can define the number of impressions for a unique user within a specific time range and the minimum amount of time between each impression.

Rules can be created for the following:

  • Ads delivered: defines the number of impressions a single user can see (choose a value between 1 to 128)
  • Timerange: set the time range in which impressions will be shown to the user (1 hour, 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours, 3 days, 1 week)
  • Time between impressions: defines the minimum time between the delivery of impressions (1 minute, 2 minutes, 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 60 minutes, 1 hour, 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, 1 week)

For example: if you want each unique user to see your ad 10 times within 24 hours and with a time between impressions of 1 hour, you would set this up as:

By default, Frequency Capping is set on: 4 Ads Delivered, Timerange 24 hours and Time between Impressions of 5 minutes.

Once you have set your preferences, you can save it by clicking on the Save all button or click the Activate button to start to running the campaign.

Contextual Targeting & Brand Safety

Contextual Targeting & Brand Safety audience features will help you to target toward or away from specific content pre-bid based on an analysis of the brand safety and attributes of the inventory.
This inventory analysis verifies if content is aligned with advertiser’s ads and dismisses placements that do not match it or can contain potential negative messages.

Optimization Rules

Optimization Rules allow you to create specific exceptions to your bids in order to increase impressions that are performing towards your KPI and to decrease/eliminate those that are not.
Rules can be created to optimize campaigns beyond targeting inventory that work well, identifying placements that perform but at the same time are the best cost effective to reach advertiser’s marketing goals.
