oldrd001 I've not been able to recreate on my end, scrolling through the entire article I don't see large gaps after any image. Can you send us a screenshot of how it looks on your end so we can try recreate?

The issue could potentially be due to an incompatibility between your setup and one of the Leap optimization settings but we can look into it more when we're able to recreate the issue

    Hello, I also have the problem of low EPMV, especially on mobile devices. Namely, when I compare EPMV from previous week of this February and the same time period last year, I see roughly 30% reduction of EPMV on mobile. As Ad Revenue Index for both of those periods is roughly the same, i suspect this drop has something to do with my site.
    During the past two months or so, I have been noticing less and less ad placeholders being filled with ads. Big data analytics confirm this. This February, majority of pageviews had 1,2 or 3 ads shown. February last year had very few pageviews with 1 or 2 ads, with majority of pageviews having around 6 ads shown.
    I understand Ezoic system won't sell my ad places it the bid doesn't meet the minimal bid requirement, to stop bidders from buying my inventory cheaply. However, my analysis of ads shown per page and EPMV betwen this and last February makes me think showing more ads on my site could increase earnings. So I would like to ask you few things:

    1. Can you manually reduce minimal bid for my website only? My website operates in a small and poor market, so I believe it needs lower threshold than website from US, UK and similar countries.
    2. Do you have any other idea I should check out regarding this issue?

      bojo The ad revenue index can vary by country. You may be looking at the U.S. index. You can also see that when you compare February 2023 vs February 2024, your average engaged time per visit is down roughly 17%. Visitors spending less time on your site can affect your EPMV too. There are a myriad of different factors. The percentage of higher-paying desktop traffic has also decreased somewhat relative to last year. You could try additional ad formats to increase revenue. For instance, on desktop, you could add a sticky sidebar ad. It's also possible to add video content to your site through Humix.

        Mohammad2306 Hi Mohammad! Thanks for taking your time with my issue. I will definitely be looking over this, hoping things work out in the end. I also have sticky sidebar on desktops. However, I use custom implementation, so I disabled this option in ezoic to prevent conflicts. Thanks again!

        Thanks Mohammad. I think I may have confused two seperate issues. The first two images still experience that same issue that Ethan responded to. The 3 image of the table of contents was a different issue it would seem.

        https://www.thelogicalinvestor.com.au/ivv-vs-ndq/ - this page still experiences the wide gaps still the introduction of the caching.

          Ethan mentioned a possibility compatibility issue with LEAP. Have you checked if the issue persists with LEAP turned off temporarily?

            Ive turned off leap for mobile and desktop, how soon would I expect to see changes?

              Hi All, I have solved this issue. It was on the WP side. Had to rebuild the article but the large spacing has now been resolved.
              RPMs have also nearly tripled since the ticket being lodged, going to show the difference in optimisation between wix and wp. My leap settings arent currently perfect but I will monitor for now and see what tweaks I can make. Thanks for the help.

                oldrd001 Glad to hear that is sorted! Good job on finding a solution pretty quick too
