How do I link my MyTarget account?

b) Go to the MyTarget dashboard and accept the Terms of Service Agreement.
c) Add apps and ad units you want to monetize with MyTarget. Go to Dashboard->Apps, click on the Create app button:
Enter app name and iTunes or Google Play URL for the app. Then create the first ad unit:
Enter a description of the ad unit parameters and the parameters of the app. Then click "Create app".
The new block will appear in the list on the "Apps" tab. Click on the name to view the app data.
After the successful completion of moderation, the status of the block will change to "Working". Then select Create Ad Unit to create more for different ad types.
There are no pricefloors for any MyTarget placement by default. If you want to set it up, you have to request a pricefloor from MyTarget manager or use Appodeal account.
