Prestigious brands are steadily adapting AdX as one of their main outlets for serving their premium ad units.

Publishers are motivated to use DFP with their AdX accounts because the platform allows for publishers to significantly increase their ROI with the dynamic allocation available between ADX and DFP. Additionally, successful publishers will add all of their ad serving platforms into DFP in order to create competition against each bid in for yielding the highest CPM bid per ad unit.

So, is your site ready for AdX? It depends. Does your site receive traffic in the millions of impressions per month? If so, AdX may be right for you for maximizing your earnings over a traditional AdSense set-up alone.
