Will it still be considered?<strong><br><\/strong>Yes, that\u2019s when the role of a soft floor comes into the picture. And this takes us to our next discussion, \u201ctypes of floor price\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Does_Floor_Price_Work\"><\/span>How Does Floor Price Work? <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Gone are the days when ad inventory was passed to another <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/how-to-find-the-highest-paying-ad-network\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ad network <\/a>when the first ad network could not meet the floor price. Nowadays, publishers are not relying on the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/header-bidding-vs-waterfall-comparison\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> waterfall system<\/a> anymore. With real-time exchanges and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/header-bidding-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">header bidding<\/a>, networks that bid below the minimum price are rejected. Only those bidding at or above the minimum are considered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Setting the price floor is essential for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">maximizing publisher revenue<\/a>. However, many publishers are too busy with other tasks, like creating content, to constantly adjusting it. So, they often change the floor price periodically, like weekly or monthly, in collaboration with their partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To address this need, ad tech companies optimize the price floor using data. They analyze how much advertisers or networks would pay for a publisher&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/what-is-an-ad-impression\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ad impression<\/a> and set the floor accordingly. Prices can vary based on weekdays versus weekends or day versus night. An automated process constantly adjusts the floor to achieve the highest possible yield. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-background\" style=\"background-color:#fff1f5\"><strong>Also Read &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/adpushup-insider-the-relation-between-price-floor-optimization-and-geography\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AdPushup Insider: The Relation Between Price Floor Optimization and Geography<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Types_of_Floor_Price\"><\/span>Types of Floor Price<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are three types of floor prices, let\u2019s have a quick look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Soft Floor <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/the-ultimate-guide-to-real-time-bidding\/\">bid <\/a>is slightly lower or around the set floor price by the publisher and is still considered by the advertisers, it is called a soft floor. Accepting soft floors is common among publishers because many prefer to generate some revenue rather than nothing.&nbsp;  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Hard Floor<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>On the flip side, a hard floor is a floor price where publishers accept no bid lower than the price they set. This approach ensures that the publisher maintains complete control over the value and worth of their ad inventory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Dynamic Floor<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Dynamic price floors automatically adjust based on demand partners&#8217; historical performance. But, publishers shouldn&#8217;t set and forget them. They must monitor and optimize the floor value as programmatic demand channels change. This ongoing process maximizes revenue potential and maintains a competitive edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s now get to the heart of the matter and take a look at the factors you should consider while setting a floor price for your ad inventory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_Consider_When_Setting_Floor_Price\"><\/span>What to Consider When Setting Floor Price?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To make the most of your ad space in terms of revenue, there are certain factors you should take into account while setting a floor price. Let&#8217;s have a look. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-country\">Country<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is one of the most common parameters that publishers use to set floor prices. If you are a publisher with both Indian and US traffic, you would ideally want to start with running higher floors on the US inventory (where advertisers are willing to pay more) as compared to the Indian inventory (where <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/what-is-cpm\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CPMs<\/a> can be as low as $0.01 in some cases).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-device\">Device<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s take the example of a pizza brand. If you are in the vicinity of a local pizza outlet (and they can track that via your mobile device location turned on), there is a high chance that they will be willing to pay more for you on mobile devices. Alternatively, if you are a B2B company, and there is little chance someone will end up directly buying your product via mobile, floor prices for desktops can be higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-day-parting\">Day Parting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Most retailers who run stores prefer spending only during the hours their store is actually open. If you have the kind of inventory that these stores can target, it makes sense for you to actually raise the floor during the store opening time and reduce these once the store closes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-seasonality\">Seasonality<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It is known that <a aria-label=\"seasonality affects CPMs and publisher revenues (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/what-publishers-should-know-about-the-january-cpm-slump\/\" target=\"_blank\">seasonality affects CPMs and publisher revenues<\/a>. If you are a publisher in India creating content that helps audiences fill up taxes, you know that the period around the end of Q1 is something you can target where most advertisers will be willing to pay more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if you do not have a niche website, you can still try out things like increasing floors around Christmas (when advertisers are willing to pay more and exhaust their budgets).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-background\" style=\"background-color:#fff1f5\"><strong>Also Check &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/seasonality-trends-in-ad-tech-industry-a-guide-for-publishers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How to Manage Seasonality? Revenue Optimization Tips for Publishers<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-audience\">Audience<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are a news website that has different sections for Sports and Politics, you can leverage these audience sets to be targeted by different kinds of advertisers. During the Super Bowl, it is best to raise floor prices on the sports section, but during the US presidential elections, raising prices on the Politics section will drive results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-ad-size\">Ad Size<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the lowest-hanging fruit of them all. There are certain sizes of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/google-adsense-ad-unit-updates-and-their-impact-on-publishers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ad units<\/a> that tend to work better for some kind of publishers in terms of buyer (DSP) demand. If for example, your 300&#215;600 ad unit is outperforming the square <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/google-adsense-now-allows-300x250-ads-above-the-fold-on-mobile-web\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">300&#215;250 ad unit<\/a> on average, it is advisable to set higher floors on the vertical unit as compared to the latter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-background\" style=\"background-color:#fff1f5\"><strong>Also read: <a href=\"https:\/\/blognife.com\/2018\/09\/03\/best-price-floor-optimization-partners-to-increase-your-adx-revenue\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Best Price Floor Optimization Partners to Increase your ADX Revenue<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-how-to-set-floor-price-manual-vs-automated\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Set_Floor_Price_Manual_vs_Automated\"><\/span>How to Set Floor Price? Manual vs. Automated<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>All of this seems good on the surface but requires a lot of commitment in terms of man-hours. Someone has to continually monitor the bid ranges through a period of time to move the needle on price floors and all of this has to be incremental in nature (it makes no sense for you to set the floor price as $10 if on average your bids end up in the range of $2-$5).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How do you go about doing this if not manually? You can do it with Dynamic Price Floor Optimization (DFO) provided by some vendors. DFO allows you to determine the market demand for a particular audience in a particular time frame and price it optimally. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DFO also automatically sets price floors, for instance, in your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/adx-vs-adsense\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AdX<\/a> based on calculations of factors mentioned above. These calculations and the speed of reaction (ability to quickly adjust prices) are the core of Dynamic Price Floor Optimization. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you try to do it manually or end up taking the help of a vendor, it is best if you fetch the bid ranges reports from time to time to get a better idea of where exactly is that most of the bids are being won\/lost. Another important thing is to always set up some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/dfp-passback-tag-when-to-use-and-how-to-generate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">passback tags<\/a> (the tag the impression passes to in case no DSP is able to match the floor price mentioned) to make sure none of the impressions go unsold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although a process that will not produce results overnight, floor prices have always been a go-to strategy for most big publishers, and most often than not, they end up reaping rewards in the long run if done right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Top Factors that Impact your Floor Price<br><br>Ad conversion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The value of an ad isn&#8217;t just about how many people see it; it&#8217;s about how many people do something because of it, like buying something or signing up for something. Thus, a high <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/conversion-optimization-publishers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">conversion rate<\/a> spells success for both publishers and advertisers, ensuring mutual benefit and satisfaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Ad Placement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The location and prominence of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/sell-ad-space\/\">ad space<\/a> within a webpage or app can influence its value. Ads placed in more visible or prime positions typically command higher floor prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Ad Unit Competition&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, when your ad unit is able to attract more and more advertisers, the floor price is going to be higher. Thus, for an unit to attain a higher floor price, publishers need to have more advertisers interested in showing their ads. If that\u2019s not the case,&nbsp; the minimum price you can charge might be lower compared to when many advertisers want to show their ads there.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Ad Viewability&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to online advertising, the key is visibility. The more exposure your ads get, the higher the chances of potential customers seeing them. To expand your reach and connect with a broader audience, it&#8217;s essential to increase your<a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/best-ad-placement-strategies-on-your-website\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> ad placement<\/a> across various platforms and channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_Words\"><\/span><strong>Final Words&nbsp;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Optimizing price floors does not have a one-size-fits-all solution. It requires continuous monitoring and analysis of demand channels. It is advised for publishers to avoid making drastic changes to the price floor. Instead, take things easy and make small adjustments by cents from time to time. It can be made based on an analysis of average CPMs from demand partners.

This means that advertisers interested in displaying their ads on this prime ad space must bid at least $10 for every thousand impressions, ensuring that the publisher receives a minimum revenue for the inventory.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1684086415236\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">3.
