Geo-specific rates

In this article, we will explain how to optimize your online business performance using geo-specific rates. This option is available for campaign rates as well as for publishers’ revenue what can be configured in Publisher / SSP zone options.

It should look like this:

EE,0.12
RU,0.17
US,0.44
