This guide will share insights to help you switch from a good to a great Ad refresh strategy, and maintain it over time. The added value of Ad Refresh (also known as Ad Rotation) varies from one publisher to another. While some publishers manage to reach a 5-10% revenue uplift, others achieve an impressive 30-40% ad revenue uplift without affecting the quality of the User Experience (UX) or the value of their inventory, all thanks to a great strategy designed beforehand! With in-view refreshes in place, the viewability KPIs of the ad unit are actually enhanced.
The first part will cover the topic of "Smart Ad Refresh", which consists in a classic "Ad Refresh" configuration tweaked to only be triggered when a specific set of criteria is met.

Finally, since keeping your ear to the ground is a crucial skill in the programmatic industry, the very last section of our whitepaper will give you a couple insighs on what could constitute your long-term strategy for Ad Refresh as a publisher and how to implement a continuous optimization process within your stack.
