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 Key | Description | Recommendation |
| App Bundle List | App 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:
App bundles are not case sensitive, meaning two app bundles with the same name and different capitalization will be considered duplicates and will read as "error". | Use as INCLUDE or EXCLUDE targeting |
| App ID List | An app ID is an exchange-specific unique ID, prefixed with the exchange code. For example, on MoPub: mp/12345 To create a list:
| Use as INCLUDE or EXCLUDE targeting |
| App Name | The app name is a string description of the app - this is often blank or not provided by the exchange. | Use INCLUDE or EXCLUDE targeting. |
| Deal ID | Exchange specific Deal ID. Bids on Deal IDs are treated as higher priority than open auction bids and typically have additional deal terms associated to them, including a higher price floor.
