Ensure you have provided STN a complete list of section front content types you need to STN Video (General, Sports, Entertainment, News etc.) to ensure the most relevant content is on each page
BEST PRACTICE 2:
Embed the section front player at the TOP of each page to engage your users and capture the maximum possible revenue.
In article player –
In-article placement featuring video matched with AI-powered player (Smart Match®). Manually embed or automate video into every article across your site(s).
BEST PRACTICE:
Whether you manually or automatically embed your article player, ensure it is in the top 1/3rd of the article for the best possible engagement and revenue opportunity.
Premium Placement, Play-in-View
You only get paid for the ads your users watch. Ensure they are engaged with the STN Video player as soon as they land on the page with a TOP 1/3RD PLACEMENT with play-in-view enabled.
- Top 1/3rd placement with play-in-view enabled results in 10X impressions over click-to-play.
