Publisher Ad Inventory and Data Monetization
Digital publisher monetization is complex and dynamic. Publishers are facing higher labor and tech costs, diminished non-ad blocked impressions, lower eCPMs, continuing challenges to maximizing fill rates, and monetization partners who take more, yet pay slower than ever.
As digital publishing ad inventory and data monetization platforms have proliferated, publishers have less and less control over their own properties and are left feeling uneasy about their revenue stream. iSOCRATES is here to help you regain that control, increase your revenue and give you the peace of mind that you have a trusted partner monitoring and optimizing your revenue continuously.

Best Practices
Test: Every decision should be backed up by data and examples. This is achieved by constant testing.
Maintain Website Balance: The key to better monetization is balance on your site. Too many ads and you will turn away customers, too little and your revenue won’t grow.
Data Hygiene: Getting the most out of your data means filtering out the noise. Creating segments within your data helps forecast your revenue.
Reporting: The more data we have the better decisions we can make. Monthly and quarterly reports come standard.
