Category B was selected for banner optimization and Category B and C were selected for interstitial optimization based on the outstanding CTR performance. Source: CTR, 2015, Vpon Inc.

Lookalike audience A whose CTR average at 0.78% was 1.6 times better than normal ad allocation (non-specific audience) whose CTR average at 0.3%. Due to the instability of the CTR of lookalike audience B, CTR fluctuation over a wide range across days, optimization on lookalike audience B was forgone. Such lookalike optimization was not adopted in interstitial since category optimization outperformed its lookalike optimization. Source: CTR, 2015, Vpon Inc.
