Create a Private Network

Feature Summary: Private Networks allow you to provide tracking for your owned media channels, such as websites and social posts. Serving ads yourself can be of great benefit for avoiding the costs associated of running ads through a Network. Not only is there a cost benefit to running a Private Network, but you also have more control over the context in which the ad appears.

 

Use Cases for a Private Network:

  • You have a large user base for your app and want to serve ads in the context of your app.
  • You have your own website on which you want to serve ads.
  • You have a source interested in banners or interstitials within one of your apps.

NOTE: Private Networks must be created in the Advertiser account if the private network needs to be used by Agencies as well as Advertisers.

NOTE: SmartLinks™ are an alternative to creating a Private Network. For more information about SmartLinks, refer to our Creating and SmartLinks™ support documentation.
