Greetings fellas,

I rarely post anything but I'm thrilled that I've found a subreddit about my field of work. :)

I've been a reddit member for quite a while, but never came to my mind to look for that topic.

Straight to the point - I have some questions.

I work in a media group with pretty OK'ish traffic - in the neighbourhood of 5M impressions per week.

Although I'm pretty experienced with our ad platform of choice - Google Ad Manager(suprise, surprise), I am pretty... "green" you might say in the field of programmatic advertising.

I'm doing pretty well with the whole learning on my own experience, but still I have the feeling that some things are just getting away from me.

I will give you an example of some of the problems:

1. I've made a preferred deal for one of our homepage banner position. They were willing to buy our whole inventory. Unfortunately, for some reason - they weren't able to buy 100% of it. More like 85-90%. Why?

2. I have a second campaign(preferred deal) that for some reason isn't starting at all. It's not coming out of "Ready" state. I can't think of a restriction(protection) that would stop the campaign from running. I even checked the Admin -> EU User consent page to see if that company is added in the "Ad technology providers" menu. Nothing seems to be stopping the campaign from running.

3. Where can I find useful information, other than the Google documentation? For example, I think I'm getting how Unified Pricing Rules work and I think I've done a good job with pricing rules, etc,etc. But I can't be sure that there isn't a better way of doing things... :) If this might be the case - can you share with me some useful... knowledge, rule of thumb kind of things.

Aaand thats pretty much it.

I hope somebody finds this topic interesting and try to help out. I will gladly provide more information if needed :))

Thanks in advance
