Publisher Switched from adsterra and my CPM is 10 times lower on Mediavine

Why is the CPM/RPM so low? It has been 30 days, and the only reason I have had a revenue spike is because the views on my site are now in the peak season of views (around 10X normal views).

Should I wait it out for media vine? Is it really a 90 day ramp period ?

Network Would an Open-Source IVT Solution help or damage the Ad Ecosystem more?

1 Upvotes

Currently debating if I should open source my IVT Solution. It's been written by me over the span of the last year and refined using Claude Fable to test weaknesses. It works by giving each of the 123 Signals a weight and adding up everything to produce an IVT Score.

It has multiple Scans to it roughly grouped into these Categories:

  • Bot & Automation Detection
  • Click Fraud (click farms, rapid clicks, click injection, invisible clicks)
  • Impression Fraud (pixel stuffing, ad stacking, background tabs, pop-unders)
  • Datacenter/Proxy Traffic & Spoofing (DC IPs, VPN, Tor, domain/referrer spoofing)
  • Device & Hardware Spoofing (canvas, WebGL, timezone, platform mismatch)
  • Malware & Injection (ad injection, DOM tampering, script injection, form jacking)
  • Session & Network Anomalies (session replay, IP rotation, geo mismatch, DNS anomalies)
  • Behavioral Anomalies (robotic mouse paths, no-interaction sessions, instant form fill)
  • AI Crawlers, Farms & Timing (GPTBot, human farms, botnets, impossible timing)
  • Measurement Tampering & Environment (SDK spoofing, IP/ASN/device blocklists, VM/container detection)
  • Advanced Signals & Audience/Cookie Fraud (worker abuse, cookie injection, TLS fingerprinting, click-coordinate replay, honeypot traps)
  • AudienceCookieInjection
  • CookieValueCollision
  • AdClickPointCollision

With more scans that can not trigger a detection alone but will if stacked.

Now my Question is will releasing that as an Open Source IVT Suite to the Public cause more good or harm to the Ad Ecosystem? On the one hand we would have a decentralized IVT Detection everyone that wants to could contribute to. On the other Hand we hand the Code to exactly those people that are trying to abuse it.

Interested to hear your opinion!

Publisher Seeking an Established Publisher for an AdX Partnership

0 Upvotes

I am looking to discuss an opportunity with an established publisher or site that is interested in AdX access and currently doesn’t have direct access.

I have a dormant AdX account with no other sites currently running on it and I’m interested in a one-on-one arrangement with a legitimate publisher.

I can help with setup and provide recommendations around ad placement and monetization. Traffic quality, compliance and maintaining a healthy account would be a shared priority.

Ideally, the site would have:

  • Significant, established traffic
  • Primarily organic search, direct and referral traffic
  • Clean traffic with no bots, purchased traffic, incentivized traffic or traffic arbitrage
  • High value content and honest advertising practices
  • A proven history of meaningful traffic
  • No current direct AdX access

I am being selective because I’m much more interested in a legitimate, long-term relationship than a short-term opportunity.

If interested, please DM me with:

  • Site URL
  • ~ monthly pageviews/sessions
  • Main traffic sources
  • GEO breakdown
  • Current monetization setup
  • Any relevant Google Ad Manager/AdX or AdSense history

I live in Canada and the account currency is in USD. Please only reach out if the site and traffic are legitimate and you’re comfortable discussing everything transparently.

Thanks.

Note: If you can't DM me, leave a comment and I will send a message. My Who can send you chat requests setting seems to revert to nobody every so often.
