<b>"First month on the new network was disappointing"</b>
It's supposed to be. You judged the worst possible window.
New sites and new accounts sit in a ramp: demand partners need weeks to learn your inventory, ads.txt and sellers.json have to propagate, and machine-learning bidders treat you as unproven low-quality supply until you've got history. RPMs in month one routinely sit 20-40% below where they settle by month three.
🚩 Hidden variable: the demand-learning curve. Bidders price unknown inventory conservatively; your first invoice is a cold-start penalty, not a verdict.
The people who "prove" a network is bad after 30 days are reading the cold-start as the steady state.
Not saying every network ramps to greatness — saying month one is the least informative data point you'll ever collect, and it's the one everyone tweets.
