Scratch this out of your wish list: Maximizing your ad inventory’s yield without keeping an eye on endless variables is now a reality for publishers using Refinery89’s Single Tag. Our team has just launched the new Dynamic Floor Pricing feature that allows you to automatically adjust through AI-powered optimizations your floor price to get the most ad revenue out of every impression.
What is the new Dynamic Floor Pricing system?
Fresh out of our developers’s oven, we are introducing Dynamic Floor Pricing as part of our award-winning ad monetization solution, Single Tag. It consists of an automated, AI-powered system that continuously optimizes the floor price for your own inventory without manual intervention.
How does the new Dynamic Floor Pricing system work?
Instead of setting a fixed floor per site manually, the system’s algorithm learns the optimal price point for every combination of website, ad slot, country, device, and even time of day. Then, it keeps adjusting this price as market conditions change. It does this by conducting small, controlled experiments on about 10% of your traffic within seconds to explore whether moving the floor price up or down would generate more revenue while maintaining reasonable fill rates. Based on the results, it adjusts the main price accordingly.
How does using Dynamic Floor Pricing benefit publishers?
Single Tag’s new Dynamic Floor Pricing feature allows you to automatically adjust your floor price based on data-driven insights gathered from automated tests done with AI. This frees you up from doing any additional manual work to improve your fill rates, optimize your ad inventory’s yield, and generate more earnings. Here’s a breakdown of all the perks you can enjoy:
Maximized ad revenue
The Dynamic Floor Pricing system finds the floor price that maximizes the product of price x fill rate. It doesn’t look for just the highest CPM, but the optimal balance between the price the market is willing to pay and the highest possible number of filled impressions
Data-based automatic updates
Market conditions change by hour, device, and geography making it difficult to keep track. A static floor set at any time will be inefficient or plainly wrong as the day progresses. Our system adapts your floor prices continuously based on real, automated tests as these changes occur.
Hands-off performance optimization
You, as a publisher, don’t need to move a finger. The new Dynamic Floor Pricing system requires no settings to configure. What is more, it determines the optimal floor price regardless of the starting configuration as it works behind the scenes.
How to maximize the value of Dynamic Floor Pricing?
At this point, you can basically sit back and relax. Although, now that you know the new Dynamic Floor Pricing feature is ready to roll your ad revenue up, you might be wondering how to make the most of it. There are a few things you could tweak on your website to guarantee that the system performs to its full potential. Let’s see what you could do:
Active Geotag
Our trusty Geotag helps optimize your ad inventory per country, so the more accurate the geo signal is, the more granular and precise the floor can be.
Sufficient traffic volume
The system needs enough impressions per combination to be statistically meaningful. Low-traffic placements will converge more slowly (or will be ineligible for the algorithm…).

Dynamic Floor Pricing in action
No story is complete without a tale of success. We’ve tested the new Dynamic Floor Pricing feature on our Publisher Network and the impact was clear. We’ve seen it improve ad monetization efficiency by helping publishers experience up to a 10% average uplift in RPM across our network.
What does the future hold for Dynamic Floor Pricing?
The Dynamic Floor Pricing system is currently live and being monitored across our Publisher Network. On the roadmap, the next evolution of the engine will incorporate real-time buyer activity, historical performance patterns, and broader market conditions, so the system moves from reacting to past data toward anticipating what the next auction will look like.
