Ep 7: Higher CPM, lower revenue

0:38 · November 8, 2026

Raising floors can win higher CPMs and still cost you revenue.

Lesson notes

Test mobile and desktop separately. Prebid’s skipRate can create a holdout for its floor logic, not remove every floor in your stack. Compare revenue per request and fill.

Do mobile and desktop share the same floor on your site?
