To reach the majority of the traffic, make sure you’re not running on shoestring budget! Launch your ads with a flexible budget and no restrictions during the games to optimize outcomes in the sports sector.
MLB-THEMED CONTENT
You can be more bold and creative during sports events. Use baseball-related visuals on your banner ads and cleverly tie your offer to the sport. In a crowded marketplace, relevancy and context are more crucial than ever, so tailor your ad content to be MLB-themed to attract potential customers!
AD FORMATS TO EMPLOY
We recommend combining various ad formats, like Pop-Under with Interstitial and In-Page Push ads.
Interstitial ads are cost-effective, delivering fantastic exposure in exchange for minimal investment. As seen in the example below, their immersive nature often leads to higher click-through and conversion rates. When paired with a compelling call-to-action, you’ll be well-positioned for success!
Separate your Mobile and Desktop campaigns, as performance metrics often vary significantly across different devices!
ADVERTISING MODELS
CPC is typically better for you when you focus on performance and interaction rather than CPM, where you pay for users to see your ad. Use CPA to automatically optimize the campaign’s traffic and performance to maximize the number of conversions.
CONVERTING TRAFFIC INTO DOLLARS
To maximize your website’s monetization potential, consider implementing Autotag with the Max Earnings option enabled. Our 3-in-1 Autotag solution merges the highest-performing ad formats into a single tag, helping you achieve your monetization objectives!
Additionally, leverage advanced Anti-Adblock scripts that outperform standard options. These scripts can effectively reduce ad-blocker impact, allowing you to maintain ad visibility and return on investment. The setup requires a one-time integration, and once activated, ads will stay constantly visible to your end users!
Just like any other sport in the U.S., Major League Baseball thrives on targeted keywords in its domain URLs. The more precise the keyword, the more relevant the ads that follow. This alignment not only attracts passionate fans but also boosts conversion rates, ultimately leading to greater revenue opportunities!
