Leverage Audience Attention to Increase Ad Value

Sovrn Advertising Team // May 10, 2022

Smart publishers spend significant time and effort working to improve their audience engagement. They know that engaged readers are more likely to become repeat visitors — and over time, repeat visitors who trust your content are more likely to take an action that generates revenue, like clicking an ad or affiliate link. 

Publishers who have cultivated a truly engaged audience deserve to be rewarded, and ad buyers are willing to pay premium rates to reach relevant, engaged visitors. But the current ad marketplace isn’t set up to reward user attention, resulting in publishers often struggling to identify, target, and broadcast their high-value audience segments to ad buyers, potentially causing them to lose out on ad revenue. 

Sovrn is solving this problem with Signal, an easy-to-use insights and analytics tool that helps publishers convert their high-value audience segments into revenue. To learn more about how Signal helps publishers leverage engagement to drive greater ad value, check out our new ebook, Capturing the Signals: How Reader Attention Can Drive More Revenue.
