How The Hans India Achieved 95%+
Fill Rate with a Mobile-First Approach
The Hans India is a
leading regional digital news publisher providing comprehensive political coverage,
regional stories, business updates, and live news to a diverse audience across
India.
The Hans India operates in a high-velocity news
environment where traffic volume does not automatically translate into revenue. Prior to
partnering with Increase Rev, the publisher struggled with stagnant advertiser demand
and severe under-utilization of its inventory. Fill rates hovered below 55%, meaning
nearly half of the site’s available ad space was going unsold. Furthermore, the
platform’s mobile monetization was hindered by a legacy desktop-centric layout, while a
lack of transparent reporting from previous partners made it difficult to track actual
earnings or optimize performance.
Solution
Increase Rev implemented a comprehensive recovery
strategy focused on mobile-first optimization and demand density. We began by
re-aligning ad placements to match real-world mobile user behavior, prioritizing
visibility within high-engagement sections like live updates and regional news. By
refining the layout structure specifically for smaller screens, we ensured higher
viewability and more consistent ad rendering across all mobile devices.
To solve the fill rate crisis, we deployed the IR Bidding
System to attract a wider pool of programmatic and premium advertisers. This intensified
auction competition, ensuring that even remnant inventory was captured by high-quality
demand. We supplemented this with continuous A/B testing of ad formats to find the ideal
balance between user experience and impression delivery. Finally, we introduced a
transparent reporting framework that provided the publisher with absolute clarity on
gross revenue and net earnings, eliminating the uncertainty of previous
partnerships.
Results
The transition to Increase Rev’s managed ecosystem
delivered an immediate and sustained impact. Ad revenue surged by over 185%, fueled by
the increase in demand competition and the technical optimization of mobile traffic
segments. Most notably, the fill rate climbed from a baseline of 55% to a consistent
95%+, effectively maximizing the value of every visitor to the site. Since 2017, this
partnership has allowed The Hans India to scale its digital operations with the
confidence that its inventory is fully monetized and its reporting is 100%
reliable.
