Choose the best subscribers lists in the “Sources” section.
This applies only to subscribers lists, you just need to click on a tick in front of the the most converting SSP, as easy as this.

Important: you need to choose subscribers lists first, as without this you won’t be able to add publishers and sites to a whitelist. You can contact your manager for free whitelists for this or that offer.

Add the sources to “whitelist” section within the campaign.
This applies only to publishers and sites. You need to add the source ID (32-digit code) in the format 1 line – 1 source, without additional characters and spaces.

Important: It’s better to start whitelisting from bigger entities — first SSPs, then publishers, and finally sites not to cut off too much traffic that may work nice later.
