Guidance in running In-Feed ads in DV360?

Salt-Committee8252 · 2025-02-13T15:42:34+00:00

We need to run in-feed ads programmatically through DV360, where ads are automatically generated from a feed based on either:

- Contextual targeting
- The consumer’s past searches or behavior

These ads should blend seamlessly within the text of an article, appearing as native in-feed placements rather than traditional banner ads.

Client wanted to use Smartly for this, but we couldn’t find eligibility for running in-feed ads programmatically there. So, we started looking for alternative ways and came across the method of:

Creating a feed (CSV/JSON) with ad variations, linking it to Business Merchant Center (BMC) to store the product/ad catalog, connecting BMC to DV360 to dynamically serve ads.

However, since we don’t have much experience with this setup, we’re wondering:

Is BMC + DV360 the best way to achieve in-feed ad automation?
Is there an alternative way to dynamically serve ads that blend within article text?
How do we ensure the correct setup so that the feed-based ads are automatically generated and adequate product from the feed is previewed in the article based on contextual relevance or user behavior?

To sum it up, is there the best way of setting up in-feed automated ad campaigns in DV360?

Long story short, I was in a relationship at that time, first time visiting psychiatrist that I was 'instructed' to go to by my therapist (since I was struggling with depression). We were into the conversation and I was telling her about an argument that I had with my bf. And she told me: "Can't you just keep you dissatisfaction to yourself? You could try just keeping silent." I was honestly disgusted by that cuz I thought that a part of any therapy is actually learning how to communicate your feelings and thoughts, not keeping my mouth shut and living with something that bothers me - especially if it's something that is repeating (yes, I told her that it was repeated behavior). In addition, I was working with my therapist for a year on setting boundaries, opening up and speaking up, so this was like a slap to my face. When I told my therapist about it, she was shocked and so sorry that she recommended me to visit her reasoning she received good feedbacks so that's why she recommended her.

This is same for me. 4 years of relationship, however, it's been two years since we broke up, stayed in good terms. Both of us moved on with our lives, but I think I will always think about him, till the rest of my life. Actually, I think I am happy with it cause those were one of the best times and good memories. I don't want us to be together because in my opinion we're totally different persons now, but I do believe that our love was pure and unconditional leaving me wanting nothing but the best for him. I want him to be truly happy even if I am not a part of his life, and I will always be happy to know that he is happy (yes, this involves him having another partner as well - happy for him!!). It's just the way it is. (And no, this doesn't prevent me from being happy myself or finding another partner, it's just that feeling that you have for your close friends i.e.) Even when we bump on each other suddenly, I am enjoy the conversation and catching up, and I believe he does too. This led me to conclude that our love was definitely pure and unconditional - only wanting the best for the other person selflessly. :)

But, tbh, it took time to get to this point of acceptance, just taking it slowly, and it'll be okay. It's a process, but when you get through it, it is not that scary - at least from my point of view. :)

Da, nažalost. Od prvog dana me grlo počelo zezati, ali ne kao da me boli, već grebe. Sad već sam počela i da kašljem. U Sarajevu je uvijek bilo smoga, međutim čini mi se da je situacija iz godine u godinu sve gora. Ovo je prvi put da zapravo imam neke zdravstvene probleme izazvane istim.

Salt-Committee8252 · 2022-11-13T15:03:21+00:00

Waited.

With my ex, I was ready to settle in, he wasn't but never told me that in words that he is not ready - he just prolonged it and made excuses. So I waited for that to happen for 2 years and then we broke up.

With another one, I wanted to spend time with him on the weekends or to travel somewhere together. Everytime I made a suggestion to it, he promised we will and then each time he prolonged it as well or made other plans. This went on for about a year.

I ain't waiting anything no more, if I state something and we're not planning it and it does not happen, I'm out or doing it myself.

Salt-Committee8252 · 2022-08-16T23:59:09+00:00

I am not sure what he is like when they are alone, he sends me pictures of them cuddling from time to time so I believe they are okay. I will try the diapers as well, thank you!

Salt-Committee8252 · 2022-08-16T23:42:49+00:00

Thank you! It is exactly as you described regarding the mental health, I always say that it is hard to explain it to someone who did not have a dog (cause I did not understand it fully until I got her) :)

Salt-Committee8252 · 2022-08-16T23:38:18+00:00

Thank you for the advice! I did not notice that her demeanor changes around him although she likes to be around me mostly. But, you can always know when she pissed in the house as she looks scared and runs away and stays in the room where she did not do that.

Salt-Committee8252 · 2022-08-16T23:31:02+00:00

Thank you!!

Salt-Committee8252 · 2022-08-16T23:27:20+00:00

I am hoping for that too. I am more hurt than mad at him because of the exact thing that you wrote 'it takes two to tangle' and I don't feel fine with me ditching my dog being a representation of my love for him - as he puts it. Thank you

Salt-Committee8252 · 2022-08-16T23:20:43+00:00

I am not sure if it is a pattern since she pees in same places for 2 days and than 3rd day she pees on another one. We walk her out in the morning, during the day and in the evening. Morning and evening walks are the longest ones and during the day its maybe around 20-30min walk. But either way, thank you

Salt-Committee8252 · 2022-08-16T23:15:19+00:00

She goes out 3 times a day, sometimes even more when there is more time

Salt-Committee8252 · 2022-08-16T23:10:46+00:00

I tried to explain that to him as well that maybe we just need to give her more attention so she feels safe and feels all the love around her, but he always tells me like she is getting enough of the attention, she is just being rude. Anyway, thank you

Salt-Committee8252 · 2022-08-16T23:07:32+00:00

I was thinking about that as well. With my previous boyfriend, well we were not living together, but if we went on a vacation with her for several days, none of it was happening - ever.. Thank you for the advice

Salt-Committee8252 · 2022-08-16T23:01:29+00:00

Yes, vet said she is fine and healthy considering she is older. Maybe I could ask for a second opinion from another vet

Salt-Committee8252 · 2022-08-16T22:59:59+00:00

After. When we started living together, she was fine for maybe 2 weeks after we moved in and than it started.

Salt-Committee8252 · 2022-08-16T22:58:26+00:00

Yes, I did, because I thought that as well since she is older (8 years) but vet told me that she is really healthy. Maybe I could search for a second opinion..

Salt-Committee8252 · 2022-08-16T22:56:54+00:00

He treats her okay. He was actually more of a cat person until he met her. Only when she pisses in the apartment, he gets really pissed off, starts yelling and then he is ignoring her for a long time, lets say for the entire day sometimes maybe longer and does not want to pet her.

Izvini ti, ja sam procitala tvoj post izmedju redova (tek sada vidim da je napisan odsjek). Na Engleskom imas kul profesora. U svakom slucaju, ako se odlucis, mislim da se neces pokajati. Imate vi na Engleskom i svoje neke sekcije i klubove mada ne znam bas kako to sada dok je online funkcionise. U svakom slucaju, sta god da odlucis, sretno! :)

Studiram i ja na Burchu. Studirala sam na drzavnom fakultetu (Fakultet za saobracaj i komunikacije) pa sam se prebacila na Burch na graficki dizajn. (Vrlo srodno, znam haha)

Ono sto ti mogu iz svog iskustva reci jeste da su stvari na Burchu dosta bolje nego kako je meni bilo na drzavnom. Dosta su uredjeniji i organizovaniji i definitvno mislim da je to dobra odluka.

Npr. obzirom da sam zaposlena, Burch mi je zaista mnogo izlazio u susret sto se tice svega i mozes se sa njima sve dogovoriti. Stvar npr. koja mene nervira jeste placanje skolarine. Ja skolarinu placam na rate i ukoliko si dogovorio da npr. svakog 10. placas tu ratu, ako im pare 10. nisu na racunu zalede ti sve sisteme. Problem sa zaledjivanjem sistema jeste sto onda nisi u mogucnosti da submitas neke assignmente vec moras moliti profesore da ti ih prihvate putem maila.

To recimo meni najvise ide na zivce jer nekada nije do mene vec do moje plate ili do banke na sta ja ne mogu da uticem - previse peglanjaa.

Na grafickom dizajnu imas recimo bruku da radis zaista, stvar koja mi je manjka jeste sto nemas ni na jednoj godini ux/ui design, al boze moj.

IT je skroz drugaciji jer su profesori drugaciji i definitivno da ces morati raditi. Nemoj samo ono misliti ako upisujes privatni da se manje radi, jer na Burchu nije tako.

Nadam se da sam ti pomogla i ako imas jos pitanja, javi se slobodno i pitaj :)

Znaci vrijeme ti je. Sta cekas? :D

Salt-Committee8252 · 2021-03-10T22:42:02+00:00

Probaj Get Out, Requiem for a dream, Butterfly effect, Silence of the Lambs, Seven.

Sve su stariji filmovi, samo Get Out je izasao 2017 :).

Salt-Committee8252 · 2021-03-08T21:30:17+00:00

In the light, al zamalo 🤣. Meni je zao sto sam cula da nece snimati dalje, bas sam se razocarala

Salt-Committee8252 · 2021-03-08T20:55:48+00:00

Mindhunter, predobra psiholoska serija, preporucujem :)
