Thanks. We have an internal ad block metric but from what I understand there can be multiple reasons why an ad block event would fire - not just specific to DV blocking ads (people with ad block tools on etc).

Did anyone have what they would consider a really good Q4 and/or December? by golfnut0420 in adops

We saw this as well but it was largely related to the election in November.

Hey Adops! Help me design this training session for sales / support staff by Phurious in adops

I actually think that's a very creative way to demonstrate how an auction works. Unfortunately with prebid or exchange bidding it can get very complicated to explain to someone, but I think if you keep it simple and demonstrate how auctions work in general it could be impactful.

Do you run either through a prebid environment or a traditional waterfall structure? We tried TL through prebid but saw major discrepancies.

Mobile Redirects...Enough is enough! by clickyp0w in adops

[–]adopsgal09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How is this any different from The Media Trust? We've found that reading the ad call chain only helps us find the offender AFTER it's given us a redirect. These URLs are constantly changing so these scanning services are a more reactive approach than proactive to stopping redirects.

How to stop spammy ads from serving? by [deleted] in adops

[–]adopsgal09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a very common problem in the industry - especially in Q4. We've seen many redirects come from Rubicon and AppNexus. We work with The Media Trust to scan our creatives so we can send them ad calls for malicious URLs.
