Traffic Quality
SpringServe is committed to serving ads to consumers visiting sites with real content in a brand safe environment. Our commitment to quality protects the entire ecosystem from bad actors, wasted ad spend, and reputational risks of an ad-server used for furthering piracy, pornography, gore, fake news, and other content that negatively impacts advertisers.
Banned categories include:
- Piracy sites (including file sharing, warez, illegal streaming sites, illegal file hosting, and sites that promote copyright infringement)
- Pornography (any sites, or sub pages of sites devoted explicitly to pornography)
- Gore (sites, subsites, or content that feature violence, death, blood, or mutilation)
- Sites or pages which promote hate speech or discrimination.
- Fake News (sites deliberately responsible for repeatedly spreading fake news for financial gain)
- Ad Farms (including ghost sites, and sites whose sole purpose is ad revenue, without content)

Our policy is intended to maintain the integrity of the Open Market ecosystem as we continue to expand our bidder integrations that will ultimately bolster demand opportunities for SpringServe partners. In In order to maintain inventory quality for clients utilizing Open Market demand in SpringServe, our policy for Programmatic Connect (PC) is as follows:
- Inventory selling to PC is only permitted on sites that are ads.txt verified for desktop and mobile web. Any In-App or CTV/OTT inventory must be submitted for approval to the designated account manager.
- If clients wish to run on new inventory source not previously running PC demand, clients must submit that inventory for approval to the designated account manager.
- Post-Impression IVT Detection must be enabled for each Data Verification Partner currently enabled within SpringServe. Clients are allowed to sample all available Data Verification Partners at their own discretion, with a minimum sample rate of 20% per available partner.
- Clients are not allowed to obfuscate the name of their publisher from which they are sourcing inventory. The actual name of the publisher must be displayed at all times.
If the standards outlined above are not maintained, SpringServe reserves the right to disable Programmatic Connect demand by supply tag, supply partner, or account-wide, within the client's SpringServe instance.
