How it looks in the interface
Warning
Conversion takes up to an hour, depending on how many ad units have CPM floors on your sites. You can't edit units during this time.
After that, you'll be able to set CPM floors in dollars or euros.
How the auction works
- The RTB auction is still held in rubles. During the auction, CPM floors in dollars and euros are converted to rubles at the exchange rate of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation on the current date.
How to view statistics in dollars or euros

Global blockings
You can block unwanted ads under Settings → Exclusions. The restrictions will apply to Yandex Direct ads in Yandex Direct and RTB ad units across all sites and in all apps of the user.
You can block ads:
-
By site domain.
-
By mobile app Bundle ID.
Specify domains or Bundle ID separated by commas and click the
button on the right.
To cancel a blocking, find it in the Domains and Bundle IDs list and delete it using the
element (appears on hover).
All changes to settings automatically take effect two hours after saving them.
The total number of blockings per account should not exceed 1000.
Note
Note that disabling ads that link to certain domains may result in a reduced number of ads being displayed and potentially may reduce your revenue from ad placement.
You can also disable unsolicited ads on your site (or mobile app) by changing the site (or app) settings, as well as restrict impressions for ads in any units. Your added restrictions apply.
Blocking accounts
If promotional materials are found to be compromised, Yandex reserves the right to remove the app from the Yandex Advertising Network and block the partner account. This action protects advertiser interests and ensures the proper operation of our algorithms for detecting invalid clicks and impressions.
We only block accounts after a thorough review. This happens if we find that serving ads in the apps registered under a specific account is unsafe for our advertisers. Blocked accounts cannot be restored.
Yandex takes the security of its placed ads very seriously, therefore we don't disclose many details about why we block partner accounts or comment on the severity of a violation or ways to rectify the problem.
