Display strategies

Display strategies are divided into two categories:

  • Manual strategies — the advertiser or agency independently sets bids for display conditions (keywords, audience targets, and dynamic ad targets).

    Note

    The manual bid per click can automatically decrease or increase depending on the probability of a conversion (see Automatic adjustment of bids in Yandex Direct Help).

  • Automatic strategies, where bids are set automatically according to the strategy settings. The advertiser or agency can assign priority to impression criteria.

For more information about display strategies, see Selecting a display strategy in Yandex Direct Help.

In version 5 of the API, the display strategy is configured separately for search and ad networks (the Yandex Advertising Network and external networks).

The tables below show the compatibility of strategies:
