# Yandex Advertising Network and ad exchanges
The Yandex Advertising Network (YAN) is a platform for serving ads on Yandex services and partner sites. With the Yandex Advertising Network, you can reach audiences across more than 80,000 platforms, including sites, mobile apps, and Connected TV apps. Yandex Advertising Network partners earn revenue by serving ads, while businesses get a flow of traffic and customers.
In addition to the Yandex Advertising Network, your Yandex Direct ads may also be served on content sites from partner ad exchanges, such as [Smaato](https://www.smaato.com/company/).
## Advantages of promotion via ad networks {#yan-advantages}
#### High-quality and high-traffic resources
Yandex carefully checks each site where Yandex Direct ads may be served. Yandex does not allow sites to join the Yandex Advertising Network if they publish low-quality content or were created solely to make money through ad placement. Each site must pass a multi-step moderation process and is subject to quality monitoring.
#### New audience and huge reach
The average daily audience of YAN sites is more than 65 million users, of which more than 50% don't overlap with Yandex search users.
#### Variety of formats
Both contextual and display ads are placed on YAN sites. There is a separate set of formats for impressions on mobile sites and in mobile apps and video ads on [Yandex Video Network](#partner-video) sites.
#### Precise targeting
Fine-tuning the impression criteria helps you find the right audience. Machine learning technologies select ads that are interesting to individual users.
#### Budget protection
Automatic verification of the traffic quality and ad viewability, along with protection against false clicks and fraudulent impressions: Yandex experts continuously track for fraud and improve security. [Automatic bid adjustments](https://yandex.com/support/direct/en/impressions/automatic-bid-adjustment-in-yan.md) allow you to save money by lowering your bid if the conversion rate is low.
## What you need to know about impressions in ad networks {#yan-whats-important}
Sites are selected based on content or behavioral targeting, i.e., the content of your ad corresponds to the content of the page that the website or app user is browsing, or matches their interests and online behavior.
Businesses can't choose platforms for ad impressions on their own, but they can exclude unwanted platform in the campaign settings. We do not recommend excluding any sites because you risk losing your target audience. Automatic quality control for clicks and conversions prevents overspending on low-quality traffic.
The choice of format for impressions in a particular placement is made by the partner, but you can check the appearance of your ads using the preview feature in the interface.
The cost per click in ad networks depends on the quality of site audience, the competitive environment, and the current number of relevant content sites.
## YAN partners {#yan-partners}
The ad space is offered by Yandex services, including [Yandex Mail](https://mail.yandex.ru/), [Yandex Weather](https://yandex.ru/weather/), [Yandex Images](https://yandex.ru/_images/), [Yandex Video](https://yandex.ru/portal/video), [Yandex Games](https://yandex.ru/games/), [Yandex Browser](https://browser.yandex.ru/), [Auto.ru](https://auto.ru/), [Yandex Sport](https://yandex.ru/sport), and [Yandex Music](https://music.yandex.ru/).
