3. Create a Summer Progress Report: With the summer months taking place around the year’s halfway point, now is a great time to evaluate your year-to-date efforts in the Adscend network. A great way to evaluate your current efforts is to give yourself a progress report. To do this, first choose three or four areas of your daily workflow that you feel are vital to maximizing your earnings potential. Then, honestly list your successes and strengths in each of these areas. Here is what a sample progress report on a potential performance area may look like:

• AdLock Widgets: Grade B-. Strengths: Widgets have been added to all content pieces and feature website colors and logo. Weaknesses: Widgets need to be split-tested more often to determine which header text is generating more conversions.

By taking the time to note successes and failures in the key areas of your business during the summer months, you will have time to make the adjustments necessary to increase your earnings during the rest of 2014 and beyond.

4. Make Your Content Mobile Responsive: As mentioned above, summer is built for mobile traffic. Therefore, to cater to summertime users who are browsing by the pool, on the beach, or anywhere outdoors, it is vital that you make your content responsive to mobile devices. Not only will non-responsive content look bad on mobile devices, this content may also not even function properly enough to allow users to access it. If your content isn’t able to load properly on mobile devices, your earnings from mobile users will drop significantly.

We also recommend testing the appearance of your content on popular mobile devices often. Additionally, though your content may have been designed in a mobile-responsive format, that doesn’t necessarily mean that it will display in an ideal manner on a particular device. Therefore, running your content through a few mobile device emulators is always recommended. Some of our favorite emulators and responsiveness checkers include Mobile Phone Emulator and Screenfly.

5. Take Advantage of Enhancements to AdLock Tools: As you may have noticed, we have made a number of enhancements to our AdLock content locking tools throughout 2014. These enhancements have given our publishers the power to generate more revenue than ever before. Here are some of the most recent enhancements to our AdLock tools:

• AdLock Link is now fully responsive and features a streamlined design
• AdLock API now retrieves offer OS/browser and EPC data
• AdLock Widgets can now be easily installed on any WordPress post, page, or attachment via the Adscend AdLock WordPress Plugin.

If you haven’t tested these powerful content locking tools before, or haven’t deployed them in a while, summer is a great time to test out their new features and see if these tools can increase your network earnings.

Lastly, if there is anything else that you need from us to help increase your earnings this summer, feel free to reach out to your account manager, or send us a message via our contact form.
