The Exchanges

Every argument clarity score on this site is built from rows on this page. Each question and answer was assessed with names hidden, the host's own answers included, on four things from 1 to 5: directness (does it answer the question asked), coherence (do the ideas follow), precision (concrete details and clear references), compression (says a lot per word). The weighted mix (30/30/25/15) is the exchange score. A person's published score averages their exchange scores on raw tape only, at least 8 of them, shrunk toward the cohort mean. Full method →

Kean Graham no published score: no usable exchanges on raw tape, and a fair score needs 8+ record → ← everyone

Every exchange below was scored with names hidden, four dimensions each from 1 to 5. An exchange's score is 0.30·directness + 0.30·coherence + 0.25·precision + 0.15·compression. The published score averages the raw tape exchange scores and shrinks small samples toward the cohort mean, so five great answers can't beat twenty good ones. Produced feed rows count only toward coarse estimates, never toward a full score.

Q you, I mean, how do you get like three million? How do you turn that into 10,000,030 million? Is that like, how do you, let's just say you can't add any new customers. You can only expand accounts. How do you get a larger portion of the inventory from those publishers, and how do you win that inventory over from them using, you know, and selling it directly at Google?

A Yeah. Well, typically what happened, especially with the large publishers, Is they only want to start a little bit, right? They want to do like a, a split test to see if you can outperform what they're currently running. So they'll start you at 10%. And then once you kind of prove that you can make them more money, then they'll expand you more and more. So it's about winning those split tests. Sometimes we're doing split tests against competitors. So it's about winning these split tests. It's about having very efficient technology. So we're not slowing down the page. You know, it has to be SEO friendly. Uh, it's, About having these other upsell tools, like, for example, another tool that we recently launched is called Traffic Cop, and it detects and blocks invalid traffic. So it prevents these publishers from getting banned by, say, Google AdSense and losing all their unpaid ad revenues overnight.

Q Don't some of these publishers, though, intentionally use some of these bots themselves to drive more clicks to their sites, specifically so they can monetize more?

A Yes, some of it is pump-induced. And, uh, we have to be, you know, kind of investigators, uh, to make sure we separate the ones who are genuine versus the ones who are not, and, uh, our traffic cop tool is part of that. Uh, we've also come up with other type of violations, uh, that publishers can do on purpose, like, uh, we call it ad setup, uh, policy violation. And it's things like hiding ads off the page, uh, refreshing ads very aggressively, things like that. So we have, we have technology that can now detect it and provide that information to the publishers. And then there's, there's certain things that we see that we know that it's pub induced and we deal with it accordingly because, uh, it's, uh, it can get pretty nasty and we don't want to hurt our partnerships with Google and, uh, all the other ad networks.
