One of the many ways you can maximize the revenue of your site is by targeting an ad on a specific URL with substantial traffic. Serving the right and profitable ad to the right audience can result in better and higher earning potential. There are several ways we can target ads on specific URLs, depending on what publishers use to implement or show ads on the site.
Key-value targeting is a feature offered by Google Ads Manager that allows you to display tags in pages where you would want it to appear. Below are the steps on how to set up key values and target specific pages in GAM:
Dynamic: Users will enter targeting values when creating line items or checking inventory.
Predefined: Keys and their values are static and don’t change based on the information of a particular user.
There are two methods in key-value targeting :
Ad Slot level targeting – Allows you to set key values for individual ad slots on your page. After passing the key values, the line items targeted to the KVP below will be eligible to serve on the ad slot.
Page-level targeting – Allows you to set key values across all ad slots on your page.
