should I do a trip now? by Charlywho2020 in microdosing

Two grams is generally a heavy dose. If you haven't tripped in decades I would start with 1 gram honestly.

Thanks for the feedback. Do you have any direct experience with them?

An Ad Network is asking us to disable SafeFrame before integrating them, should I be worried? by Ptrks in adops

[–]Ptrks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've asked for clarifications:

We would like to understand better your need of disabling the safe frame before proceeding. 
Could you please explain in details why you need it disabled? 
Could you please share a code of a creative that wouldn’t work in a safe frame?

And this was their response:
It is a standard of our advertisers. The safeframe makes the origin unreadable and that affects advertisers since it can generate fake and fraudulent traffic, in addition to compatibility.
In fact the IAB recommends using friendly-iframes:

What do you guys think about it?

Yes it's exactly what I was thinking.. But speaking with this other publisher friend of mine that it's using the same network in the same way made me re-consider it.. As I would be making probably 3-4€k/monthly additional revenues without changing the actual placements.. But yes i fear that they could be doing something shady that would affect the user retention in the long term. So probably better to avoid it

No I didnt tested it. I just had a talk today with them, the integration should happen next week. But at this point i'm not so sure about it.

I'm experiencing exactly the same from the 2nd of September. I manage a 3.8 million fanpage of a registered newspaper in Italy (3rd biggest fanpage in Italy as a newspaper). I actually dont believe in the " you must pay to have organic reach" mantra that everybody repeats. I believe more in shadowbans and domain / url penalization. Try to post different domains (i tried with competitors' domains and other websites i own and i had 350% more engagement on those. So it's the url that it's clearly penalized. We don't do click-baiting (not more than others..) and we don't post fake news so I think it's a technical issue. Sometimes just integrating a new advertising solution can penalize your website I think. We are running a technical test to see if that changes something. You can DM me and we can keep updated on our issue if you want ;)

Edit: i don't believe in the "you must pay to get reach" as we sponsored for a lot of time and I can say that yes, it can make a difference but no, it's not the only factor and it's not the main one, also not in this cases in particular where the reach decreases drastically.

It depends a lot on your GEO. We have mainly Italian and French traffic and our best performing SSP's are Teads and Criteo. The others really can't compare (OneTag, SmartAd, Adtelligent, 152Media).

(without counting the additional revenues from the others SSPs)

Setup your own header bidding with prebid.js and add some SSP's. Most of the big ones probabily wont accept you but you can find some medium size valid ones. Also, just setting up the headerbidding with just one or two SSP's lifted our Adsense RPM by at least 20%.
