| » Competitor Exclusion |
If you need to run campaigns from competing advertisers, you'll be happy to
know that AdvertSERVE allows you to specify that they are competitors and if you do so will prevent
delivery of their campaigns in the same page view.
|
| » Companion Banners |
If you need to run multiple ads from an advertiser on a page together at the same time,
you'll be happy to know that AdvertSERVE allows you to specify that they are companions and select where
you would like them to run together.

| » E-mail alerts |
Whether you run dozens, hundreds, or thousands of campaigns simultaneously across your
web sites, it's hard to keep an eye on them to make sure they're delivering correctly. AdvertSERVE
addresses this problem by allowing you to setup e-mail alerts to notify you of important events on a per
campaign basis. Customizable e-mail messages, which can have customizable reports attached to them in either
CSV, Excel, PDF, or TXT format, can be sent under the following configurable conditions:
- Start date reached
- Stop date reached
- Periodic (daily, weekly, bi-weekly, etc...)
- Number of days remaining
- View increment threshold (i.e. every 10,000 views)
- Click increment threshold (i.e. every 100 clicks)
- Action increment threshold (i.e. every 10 actions)
- Percentage of views remaining
- Percentage of clicks remaining
- Percentage of actions remaining
- View limit reached
- Click limit reached
- Action limit reached
- Percentage of under delivery
- Percentage of over delivery
You can schedule how often e-mail alerts should be sent too. By default they're sent hourly, but
don't worry about your inbox getting flooded. AdvertSERVE is smart enough not to notify you of any
particular event more than once.
|
| » Exclusive targeting |
Exclusive targeting ensures that you always deliver a targeted campaign if possible.
Certain categories of targets, such as geography targets or keyword targets, may be marked as exclusive
on a per zone basis. This allows you to, for example, only deliver U.S. targeted campaigns to
your U.S. visitors while still delivering untargeted campaigns to visitors from other countries.
|
| » Even distribution |
What do you do if you have a campaign that you want to deliver 100,000 impressions for
in several zones over a period of 30 days, but your traffic could deliver those impressions in just a
few days? AdvertSERVE solves this problem with an advanced feature called even distribution. When enabled,
even distribution will spread out impressions for a campaign throughout each day in it's flight as
evenly as possible.
|
| » Frequency capping |
AdvertSERVE supports frequency capping to prevent your campaigns from becoming over
exposed. Setup campaigns to deliver a specified number of impressions within any amount of time you
desire. Track 24-hour unique clicks and actions too by setting click and action frequency caps for
24 hours.
|
| » Keyword only |
This option allows you to deliver a keyword targeted campaign only when it's keywords
are matched.
|
| » Multiple ad units |
This option allows you to deliver multiple ads together a single unit. For example,
you can run five 120x120 ads stacked vertically in a 160x600 space. AdvertSERVE takes care of making
sure no duplicate ads appear in any positions and you can even prioritize certain campaigns so they
always show up in higher spots than others.
|
| » Priority chaining |
Perhaps one of the slickest features in AdvertSERVE, priority chaining allows you to
schedule groups
of campaigns to run together in a zone. For example, suppose that you have a zone where you run both
paid and in-house campaigns, but you only want to show the in-house campaigns when all of your paid
campaigns are expired. Do you need to manually enable/disable the in-house campaigns to accomplish
this? Absolutely not. Simply setup to the in-house campaigns to run in a lower priority chain and
they'll only show when all of your paid campaigns in higher priority chains are disabled or expired.
|
| » Priority weighting |
Increase or decrease the priority of a campaign individually in every zone that it's
assigned to.
With a priority scale from 1-100, you have a huge amount of control over prioritization, even if
you have dozens of campaigns in a zone. As an added bonus, if you make sure that your priorities
always add up to a total of 100, they function as if they were percentage values.
