  3. To enable BidMachine Ad Inventory through the MAX Mediation platform, you must have an approved monetization account with BidMachine.

Enable BidMachine in Your MAX Account​

  1. When you complete your BidMachine setup, log in to your MAX account and select MAX > Manage > Ad Units.
  2. Click the MAX ad unit placement on which you want to enable BidMachine.
  3. Type the BidMachine Source ID values associated with the MAX ad unit you selected. The Placement ID field is optional: if you fill it in, enter the ad unit's BidMachine Placement ID, not the Source ID.
  4. Click the Status bar to activate the network and click ✓ Save. This enables BidMachine in the participating networks list for this ad unit.

In order to get Source ID, please refer to this guide - How to get Source ID under BidMachine Dashboard.

Send a GPID to Buyers​

Buyers identify an ad slot across networks by its Global Placement ID (GPID). BidMachine sends your MAX Ad Unit ID as the GPID by default, with nothing to set up. To set your own GPID, for example one GPID shared by several ad units, map your ad units to BidMachine placements: see GPID and Ad Unit Mapping.

Update Apps-ads.txt​

  1. Go to BidMachine Dashboard
  2. Go to app-ads.txt tab
  3. Copy the list and append it to your website's apps-ads.txt file
