Whizzco Product Offering

Today, SSP and mediation platforms are everywhere from display banners to video ads, except for content recommendation networks.  As a content publisher, you don’t have much choice but to choose only one content network at a time. The issue is no network has much demand to cover worldwide traffic with reasonable rates and to display a high diversity of content.

Some networks are better in India, some have the highest rates in the US, while others have better rates on Mobile than on Desktop.

Whizzco’s widget displays the highest paying campaigns in each country. It pulls all relevant campaigns from the content partners and calculates the best performing campaigns based on Geo, Platform, User ID, CTR, and rates.  The results are higher RPM, more diversity, quality control and one dashboard with real-time reports.
