Introducing Responsive Design Latest metrics show that nearly 30% of traffic to publisher sites is coming from mobile devices. Some websites are closer to 50%. By 2014 there will be more web traffic coming from mobile than from the desktop web (comscore). Two-thirds of users say they re more likely to buy a website s product or service if the site is mobile-friendly (Google). To take charge of their digital future, publishers are embracing a mobile first approach and thinking outside of the box. Rivista5 empowers publishers to create responsive design websites that adapt to all screen sizes. With responsive design, website content naturally adapts to the screen and orientation on which it is viewed regardless of the device. Publishers can control advertisements that appear on different screen sizes. For example, a leaderboard ad can be set to appear for desktop and tablet views with a smaller sized ad for smartphones. A responsively designed interface is a better experience for readers and advertisers alike. Fonts, images, and site structure all play their part to create a fluid experience that readers enjoy. The benefits are obvious, says Mashable, You build a website once and it works seamlessly across thousands of different screens.

Stronger Results, More Revenue Rivista5 was designed to help magazine publishers continuously grow their audience and generate revenue. Having a responsively designed interface contributes to a lower bounce rate and more time spent on the website. Publishing partners typically experience between a 25% and 125% increase in online traffic in the first 6 months after launching their web presence on Rivista. The days of pinch and zoom are over! Advertisements can be targeted to run alongside certain topics or sections of the website or they can be set to rotate across all available inventory. Rivista accepts all IAB advertising units and ad-serving is available for publishers that utilize it. Ad Serving Ad serving is a technology and service that allows for greater segmentation and targeting of ads. When a website is visited ads will appear according to schedule and the publisher can keep track of impressions and clicks to determine the success of campaigns. The beauty of ad serving is the ability to report on impressions, clicks, and post-click activities. Using an ad server, the publisher can upload and target ads to different users or content. The campaign can be fine-tuned and optimized based on results. The publisher can also manage their website inventory and forecast the availability of impressions based on traffic patterns to the site and campaigns that are running. Godengo+Texterity uses OpenX Enterprise for ad serving as it is flexible, powerful and intuitive. Other ad servers, such as Google s Doubleclick for Publishers (DFP), can be used with Rivista5. Ads can be targeted by content, geography, browser, and custom variables. The ad server will prioritize ads to manage sold campaigns and available inventory to hit revenue goals. Content Marketing / Native Advertising Another benefit of Rivista5 is the ability to craft native advertising opportunities that are valuable to advertisers. Savvy marketers are looking for ways to break through the noise and find niche audiences interested in their products or services. Having developed such audiences and multi-platform offerings, publishers are in a prime position to sell more than just a banner. Try sponsored sections, slideshows, video channels, or content lead-generation programs based on topics that engage your readers and deliver leads. Solve Media finds that 60% of agency media buyers consider native advertising to be very important or extremely important going into 2013.
