In the digital advertising space, handling traffic and ad requests is crucial for ensuring the efficient operation of ad trafficking platforms and maximizing revenue. With the diversification of traffic sources and complexity of advertiser demands, managing these requests precisely and efficiently poses a significant challenge for platforms. MergeX's Smart QPS (Queries Per Second) control is an effective, automated ad distribution management strategy that optimizes platform resource allocation by fine-tuning the request ratio for each advertiser, ensuring a balance between advertiser costs and revenue.

Note: Traffic Requests vs. Ad Requests

① Traffic Request: When traffic directs a request to the MergeX platform, this process is referred to as a traffic request.

② Ad Request: Upon receiving a traffic request, the MergeX platform initiates requests to multiple advertisers to retrieve ad content.

Core Objectives of MergeX QPS Control

1. Optimize Resource Allocation: By intelligently adjusting the request frequency (QPS) to advertisers, MergeX Smart QPS control ensures that limited resources (such as server resources and request costs) are allocated to those advertisers that generate higher revenue.

2. Cost Control: Through meticulous QPS control, the platform effectively reduces invalid or inefficient ad requests, thereby lowering overall operational costs.

3. Revenue Enhancement: By dynamically adjusting the request ratio among advertisers, the platform fosters competition among them, thereby boosting overall ad fill rates and revenue.

Implementation Methods of MergeX QPS Control

1. Multi-level Evaluation System: MergeX Smart QPS control establishes a five-level evaluation system based on advertisers' cost-to-revenue ratios. Advertisers at different levels are subject to varying degrees of QPS restrictions.

2. Dynamic Monitoring and Adjustment: MergeX Smart QPS control regularly monitors all advertisers' performance and dynamically adjusts their QPS restrictions based on the latest data. This mechanism ensures the platform's ability to swiftly respond to market changes and continually optimize ad distribution.

3. Fine-grained Control: Beyond overall advertiser evaluations, MergeX Smart QPS control also implements fine-grained control over specific traffic sources and ad package names. This allows the platform to more accurately assess advertiser performance and make precise adjustments.

Key Indicators and Evaluation Criteria

1. Fill Rate: A crucial indicator of advertiser performance, MergeX Smart QPS control prioritizes advertisers with high fill rates and stable revenue, allocating resources to them preferentially.

2. Cost-to-Revenue Ratio: A key metric for assessing overall advertiser performance, MergeX Smart QPS control automatically calculates advertisers' costs and ad revenue, adjusting their QPS restrictions accordingly based on this ratio.

MergeX Smart QPS control represents a significant competitive advantage in the field of ad distribution. By continually optimizing this mechanism, the platform can enhance advertisers' campaign effectiveness, reduce overall costs, and deliver greater value to both advertisers and traffic providers. As MergeX Smart QPS control technology evolves, even more sophisticated and intelligent QPS control is anticipated in the future.

This includes but is not limited to:

1. More Granular Evaluations: MergeX Smart QPS control will enable independent evaluations and adjustments for each advertiser's ad placement, time period, and more.

2. Real-time Data Feedback: By collecting and analyzing data in real-time, MergeX Smart QPS control can respond more rapidly to market changes and make corresponding adjustments.

3. Intelligent Recommendations: Based on advertisers' historical performance and market trends, MergeX Smart QPS control will intelligently recommend tailored campaign strategies and budget plans.

4. Specific Package Names and Traffic Sources: For even finer control, MergeX Smart QPS control will focus on how different advertisers perform across various traffic sources and specific package names. This will help the platform more accurately assess advertiser performance and make more reasonable resource allocation decisions.

By leveraging precise cost control, efficient request distribution, rigorous advertiser screening and evaluation, and dynamic QPS adjustment strategies, MergeX Smart QPS control optimizes traffic fill rates and maximizes revenue when handling traffic and ad requests. These strategies not only enhance the service quality and competitiveness of MergeX's ad trafficking SaaS platform but also create greater value for both advertisers and traffic providers. Moving forward, as the digital advertising market continues to evolve, MergeX will continue exploring and refining these strategies to better meet market demands.
