This article describes how to manage placement types.

Introduction

Using placement types to categorize placements ensures that placements have a common property that enables you to evaluate statistical data of all “run of site” placements across publishers, for example.

Examples of different placements with an identical placement type:

  • Cars (run of channel) and baby (run of channel)

  • ProSieben DE (run of network) and Burda Forward DE (run of network)
