Adapting to a New Digital Reality

Brittany Goldwyn Merth has always approached publishing with a willingness to evolve. As the digital landscape shifted, including major algorithm changes and the rise of AI-driven content, she saw her traffic patterns change and recognized that her existing ad setup wasn’t fully optimized for the new environment. She needed a solution that could adapt alongside her site and recover revenue momentum without compromising reader experience.

Leaning Into What’s Next

As a Mediavine publisher, Brittany monetizes her site with ads, allowing her to directly monetize the time, effort, and resources she invests into her site. Serving ads sustains her business while keeping her content free and accessible to her readers.

In an effort to improve reader experience and performance revenue, Brittany became one of the first publishers to test Mediavine’s Optimized Ad Experience during its beta phase. Always open to trying new strategies, she leaned into the opportunity to see what was possible.

From Testing to Tangible Results

The results speak for themselves. In the first month of enabling OAE, Brittany’s site saw a: 

  • 15.5% increase in RPM
  • 12% increase in overall revenue

By combining passion with data-driven decision making, Brittany unlocked meaningful growth, continuing to prove that even established publishers can benefit from trying something new.

“The revenue my website has generated through Mediavine ads has completely changed my life.” – Brittany Goldwyn Merth, by Brittany Goldwyn
