Course Description

A site?s targeting structure affects your ability to forecast inventory, create sales products, and effectively monetisation the content.
Proper tagging implies more than merely plugging a site map into an ad server. A full understanding of technical infrastructure, company
goals, and site setup is necessary in order to determine how to set up your ad infrastructure in the most efficient manner.

Sales teams drive revenue for online. In order to maximize what they can do, you must create products that are attractive to the marketplace.
How you set up your ad infrastructure will determine what your sales staff can sell, the accuracy of your inventory forecasting, and,
ultimately, your site?s overall yield.

In this course, you will learn how to interpret the needs of your sales staff to create online products and maximize your online revenue. Examples will be used from the three larger ad servers, DFP, OAS, and Atlas (formerly Accipiter) but all companies using any ad server will benefit. Various types of targeting methodologies will be discussed so that you can make informed decisions about your site?s structure.

Who should attend?:
This course is geared towards publisher operations managers and online tech personnel
who will be setting up the online advertising infrastructure for their site(s).

This course will be beneficial for mid- to senior-level operation staff that make or help make executive decisions in online planning and executions.

Benefits of Attending:

Determining your online advertising infrastructure is among the most difficult, yet most important, operations decisions an online
team can make. Redoing a site?s structure if often not an option, as it can be very difficult and expensive to fix errors, and will cause
setbacks in both your operations and sales departments. Most operations managers and tech personnel moving to a new ad server simply
do not have a lot of experience setting up a site?s targeting.

This course will provide you with the best opportunity to learn how to set up your site in order to maximise your online revenue.

By taking this course, you will be able to work with your ops and tech teams to determine the best set-up for your network and
maintain your network without having to look outside the company, thereby saving time and money.
