More That a Test: Deriving Revenue Insight From Aggressive Multivariate Testing
Despite what ad networks might tell you, adding a new ad unit does not always produce incremental revenue – in fact, doing so often results in a negative effect on overall revenue. However, there are such things as optimal page layouts, and sometimes it’s possible to produce more revenue through fewer ads. This can all be shown mathematically with tightly controlled testing and rigorous statistics. Dmitri Kazanski, Advertising Operations Manager at Manta, details his own company’s experiments with split/multivariate testing and shares some of the eye-opening findings.
