To kick off the new year, we have developed a new look. Over the weekend we released version two of adgridwork. In addition to a whole new look for the site (feedback is always appreciated), we also have a whole new ranking system. Instead of a number, we now provide two ranking percentiles. The first is your percentile relative to your general category (i.e. if your site is under Blogging: Technology, Blogging is your general category, and your rank is relative to all sites under Blogging). The second percentile is across all sites in the network. The new rank has more factors involved; your rank is now dependent on conversions/impressions (or ctr), clicks/requests, total clicks/second, and total requests/second. All these factors are weighted relative to the average values across all sites (general and adult sites are weighted only against the general and adult networks, respectively). We’re always looking for ways to improve the service, and hopefully this new ranking is a step in the right direction. Any feedback is always appreciated; we hope everyone likes the new look and has been having a great new year.
