Google has removed its long-standing unified pricing rules in Google Ad Manager, once again allowing publishers to set different price floors for Google demand versus other programmatic buyers. What changed. Publishers can now set bidder-specific floor prices in Ad Manager. For example, one buyer can be required to bid at least $5 while others compete at a lower $2 floor. Google has also rebranded “unified pricing rules” as simply “pricing rules.” The backstory. Before 2019, publishers often set higher floors for Google to counterbalance its data advantage. That flexibility disappeared when Google mandated uniform pricing across exchanges — a move…

YouTube will no longer share its music data with Billboard, citing objections to how the publication weights streams when calculating its U.S. music charts. Set to go into effect next month, the change means Billboard’s charts won’t be able to take YouTube’s music streaming data into account at all.In a post to its official blog on Tuesday, YouTube criticized Billboard’s policy of giving subscription-supported and paid streams more weight than ad-supported streams when determining its charts. The video streaming platform claimed that despite “extensive discussions,” Billboard was “unwilling to make meaningful changes” to its stance. Billboard has included YouTube’s data…

A recent CNET survey shows that more than half of surveyed US adults are cutting back on nonessential purchased due to inflated prices, which may mean more families are eating at home.
