Tactical application guide

Revenue per 1,000 slots links ad revenue and available ad slots in a fixed ratio, so any two pin down the third. Planning backwards is where it earns its keep: enter the ad revenue you have and the Revenue per 1,000 slots you are targeting, and the solver tells you the available ad slots you must secure. Or lock available ad slots and Revenue per 1,000 slots from a benchmark to see the ad revenue that plan implies before you commit.
