5. Integrate PubNative Mediation Layer SDK

PubNative's SDK is developed to mediate various Ad Networds and access their demand specifically for native ads. Custom built network specific adapters channel the demand between the PubNative's SDK & the Ad Network's SDK. PubNative understands the importance of ease of integration for publishers, and, hence, provides ad network SDK + Corresponding Adapter packages.

6. Configure Mediation Layer

PubNative Mediation layer allows mediating native ads from Facebook Audience Network, Yahoo's Flurry SDK, and Yahoo's Flurry SDK with Gemini Reporting API. You can access mediation configuration by going to the manage tabs in the apps section of PND.
