Bidding step

Use this field to control how your campaign will bid in the auctions:

  • Step in % will increase the floor price passed by SSP by defined %
  • Step in EUR (or other currency) will increase the floor price from SSP by set amount of money
  • Step set as ABS – absolute price – will ignore the bid floor and will enter all auctions with fixed price
Attaching campaign to Pools

Pools in Market are basically traffic sources grouped by media type (e.g. banner or video) and content topic. Choose the media type from dropdown menu to see available Pools. Then select at least one and click add. Pool will be attached to Campaign.

Attaching media

Ads in Market called Media. You need to attach at least one to Campaign, so it would have what to show to the audience. If you have already created Media you can chose them from the list. If not, you can skip this step and add Media later.

IMPORTANT: The type of Poll and Media attached to campaign should correspond each other, otherwise campaign will not run.

Targeting settings

Targeting can be set on Campaign and/or Media level. The basic targeting parameters which used in most of all campaigns are:
