Overview

Inventory targeting is commonly used to optimize performance of your campaigns. In general, the best practice is to EXCLUDE target the inventory that is not performing well for you. Deal IDs are an exception to this general rule since Deal IDs are typically INCLUDE targeted.

Targeting

Since most of the targeting keys in inventory are exchange specific IDs, we require you to prepend the exchange abbreviation to the ID to ensure uniqueness. See a list of the exchange abbreviations on the Inventory Sources page.

Example: Targeting a Rubicon Site ID

  • The exchange abbreviation for Rubicon is “rp”
  • So to target a site ID of “12345” on Rubicon you would target it by specifying “rp/12345”
Targeting KeyDescriptionRecommendation
App Bundle ListApp bundles are consistent across exchanges. For iOS, they are typically the numeric ID of the app in the app store, e.g. 1207472156. For Android, they are typically strings representing the name of the app such as com.game.android. 

To create a list: 
  1. Click on the +New button and select “List” from the drop down
  2. Select "App Bundle List’ from the List Type drop down
  3. Give your List a name and click “Save & Continue”
  4. Add your app bundles in the “Add New List Items” field (one per row) OR upload a .txt of your IDs (also one per row) OR upload a .csv file of IDs (also one per row)

Note: App Bundles are case sensitive and it is recommended to add upper-case and lower-case versions of app bundles in the list to capture all the inventory for that app.
