Sticky ad units or anchor ads, as its own name, it “sticks” to the viewable area of a web page when a user or visitor scrolls the page.

Sticky Ad is a significant source of revenue for publishers, this means that a low fill rate or a significant drop in Sticky Ad fill rates can have a more significant effect than any other ads.

Here is the list of things to consider to increase Fill Rate on Sticky Ads.

Load Times

Check the load time when creating the page, and the time it takes to create the ad. If it’s too slow, you may drop the impressions.

Ad Blocking

This will result into user experience’s issue.

Geography

If you’re in Indonesia or South East Asia, it’s better to find the ad networks that operate in Indonesia and South East Asia. Especially if your traffic mostly come from your own area.

Flexible Size

Try to do an alternative Sticky Ads size. Instead of using the 300 × 100 size, consider trying the 300 × 50, 320 × 100 or 320 × 50 sizes for Sticky Ads if there are no 300 × 100 available.

Increasing Resources of Available Demands

Don’t have just one ad network to bid on your Sticky Ads slot. A large number of bidders will increase competition, and might fill the slot that other ad networks can’t fill. Do not depend your Sticky Ads slot from only one ad network.
