You should be asking these questions…
How much money do I make per
user?
How are my bounce rates doing over time by device?
How do my top landing pages perform (UX, earnings, and more)?
Am I doing regular “health checks” on my own to see how the site is doing?
Is my website fast enough for users?
Is my site secure?

Quick caveat before we start
When it comes to Google AdSense and ADX terms of service (policy), we have more experience than almost any publisher
We’re very happy to share our experience
But, I don’t work for Google
This is not ‘official’ or in any way ‘legal advice’ – this is just my personal opinion based on what I’ve seen and learned…

Why do we have to keep to Google’s policy rules?
Legal Reason: You’ve already agreed J
Practical Reason: It’s in your long-term best interest to do so

How do Google’s policies help publishers?
• App Nexus Video Ad Exchange 2015
• Major Fraud Issue
• CPM’s rose from <20c to $1.60CPM after crack down

Multivariate Testing
“Multivariate testing is a technique for testing a hypothesis in which multiple variables are modified. The goal of multivariate
testing is to determine which combination of variations performs the best out of all of the possible combinations.”
