I’d had direct experience of working with DQ&A when they were an early client of the Google-acquired DSP, Invite Media, which was later superseded by DBM.

Another helpful tool to guard your inventory is by setting up pricing rules. Through pricing rules you can ensure that you do not sell your inventory for a price low enough to attract unwelcome (i.e. low-quality) advertisers. By selecting the relevant ad units and ad sizes, and setting a minimum branded and anonymous CPM, you set a floor price below which no bids are accepted. This way the premium leaderboard on your homepage will never be bought for less than the floor price set by you.

Smaller publishers usually struggle with the same issues. Issues they wouldn’t have if they would team up with a sales house. In the last couple of years we have seen publishers shifting towards, but also away from sales houses. It is a strategic decision. We work together with both parties and by writing this article we hope to provide you with more insights on why joining a sales house might or might not be good idea.
