Introduction to Ezoic - January 2016
1. Testing & Optimization Platform
Ezoic is proud to be a Google Certified Publishing Partner & Google Certified Adsense Partner
2. Apps for websites: simplifying the technology landscape for all publishers
o New testing technology. Testing new technology
partners can be complicated; Ezoic makes it easy:
o Integrate your website
o Install the app you want to test
o Allocate traffic to it
o Automation / Evaluation. Experiments are set up for
you by the system and optimization is based on goal
setting, not management – saving you time.
o Auto-Pilot. Allocate a percentage of site traffic for
testing and gain insights and automated
performance benefits over time. No specialist
technology skills required.
3. • Display ads can sometimes be ineffective
because the users are ‘tuning them out’.
• Keeping the ads fresh by dynamically changing
size and location boosting ad effectiveness.
• Testing the effect of ad combinations is more
effective than a/b testing individual ad
placements.
• Optimize for:
o User session optimization
o Balancing usability metrics & ad income
o Better native & display ad placement
combinations
• Ezoic Ad Tester automates the whole process of
multivariate ad testing & solves for all these
considerations.

which combinations are the most successful.

and turn Ezoic on (by device) & select
the percentage of traffic that will be
directed to Ezoic for testing.
Integration Process
9. Control all aspects of the ad testing process…
• Set the max number of ads / page
• Select the type of ads tested
(display, native, in-line, etc)
• Control where ads are placed
• Approve ads by category
• Disable ads on certain pages
• Block advertisers by URL
• Include your own Direct Ad
Orders into the testing process
10. • Mediation links all your existing ad
network accounts into one reporting and
optimization platform.
• Ad networks compete with Ezoic’s ad
partners.
• Income from mediation partners accrues
with the mediation partner and is
reported in Ezoic dashboard.

11. Advanced Reporting – the key to curating your content
• Advanced reporting shows which pages earn
the most by platform, country and traffic
source.
• Earnings per thousand visits is the ad income
success metric (EPMV).
• User experience and revenue results are
reported together.
• Original site performance is reported and acts
as the experimental ‘control’.
12. Summary
o Ezoic offers an ever-expanding selection of technology apps for website testing & optimization.
o Integration with Ezoic is simple, effective and instantly reversible.
o Ezoic’s own ‘Ad Tester’ and ‘Layout Tester’ apps allow testing to begin on a small portion of a site’s traffic (by
device) at first – which mitigates any downside revenue risk.
o Testing works: Ezoic tester apps yield average income improvement of 240% with UX metrics enhancements of
over 40%
