AI In Ads Positioning

Instead of developers haggling in front of their PCs to determine which Ad Position will determine best revenue for your website, AI simplifies the same thing by employing Machine Learning algorithms to study historical data to find the relevant ads for targeted user group.AI algorithms use Heatmaps to study the where the vistors on the website are actually going and thus,putting the relevant ads on those positions to focus on the user.

The heatmaps have never been used much in the Ad tech before. AI is surely gonna change that while studying each and every map in detail to find the best Ad Positions for marketers.

The AI also keeps in mind UX of the website helping the publishers to optimize them in the best manner possible.

There are many Ad Networks who provide different kind of Ads to the website owner and he is required to sort the ads according to the website.

This whole process is called Ads Mediation and is very relevant for higher revenues of the website. The AI technology helps here by both minimizing the human effort and doing it more efficiently while making sure that only relevant ads reach to the final user. These relevant ads are defined through the keywords associated with a website In the AI based approach , Ads will be place through data,facts & Intelligence where Data will be user or website's past history. UX, Website Content, Geo & Timing will be counted as facts here.

The best part of employing AI for Ads Optimization is that it reduces human effort by employing a data oriented approach reduces human error and puts the ads only after data says "Yes" on two parameters which are Ad Position and Ad network selection.

And all of this will only get better when Machine Learning algorithms are employed to find the best Ad-User Match.
