Wow, is that Hooligan ADX stats? 0.45$ cpm is pretty nice, is it was that from the begging after you migrate to ADX ?
$0.45 CPM isn't amazing by any means, although it's not bad during Corona when everyone's CPMs seem to have dropped.

I have a feeling that 2 of the ads on each page are underperforming and dragging the average CPM down.

I'm not using Hooligan's ADX, it's headerbidding. While that includes ADX, it's a different thing.

It's good for me since my eCPM is only 0.18-20 with Hooligan ADX and i'm a bit worried about this.

As i remember header bidding is paid service from Hooligans? How much did you pay for it?

Hi James,
Firstly congrats! What is your viewability on Hooligan Adx? My one is worse than before. And I am also curious about headerbidding setup costs, It was too expensive for me so I did not go with it.

0. The expensive headerbidding is when using your own Google ad manager.

How would you scale your quiz site if you are getting 1k-2k traffic daily? Just posting more quizzes + sharing more in Facebook groups?

If that 1-2k traffic is coming from Facebook groups then I would start to look into other forms of traffic while the Facebook groups are going well. Facebook groups are great but they won't last forever.

But yes, just more of what you are doing. Plus trying to find other sources of traffic.

Which company's ADX and Header Bidding are you using currently and what were the page requirements?

Shoutout

Cost me $30 on a page with 37k followers and 4.5k average likes. The US percentage of this audience is much higher, which is why the shoutout costs more.
I've had a shoutout on this page in the past and it did well.

when you say shoutout, do you mean just swipe up story? or it includes also link in bio and post?

Congrats so much, really makes me happy seeing you "make it".

I want to ask, what forms are your shoutouts? An image with a CTA?

Very inspirational! I am also thinking about starting a quiz site. Your journey has me also thinking investing in some Facebook Advertisements and/or Shout outs.
