A VAST tag is just a URL provided by an ad network. Player calls that URL → the ad network returns a video ad → you get paid.

VAST tag can be obtained from one of the following Ad providers

1️⃣ Google Ad Manager (Most Professional Option)

Platform: Google Ad Manager
Best for: Serious publishers with traffic
Difficulty: Medium–High

How they get VAST tag:

1. Create account

2. Set up inventory (video ad unit)

3. Connect to demand (AdX or other buyers)

4. Generate VAST tag URL

5. Paste into Fluger

⚠️ Brutal truth:
Google won’t approve tiny channels with no traffic. If your users have no audience, this won’t work.

2️⃣ Video Ad Networks (Easier Approval)

Popular options:

• Vdo.ai

• SpotX

• Teads

• Magnite

Best for: Mid-size creators
Approval: Usually requires minimum traffic

They:

• Apply as publisher

• Get approved

• Receive VAST tag URL

• Add into Fluger

Again — without traffic, they won’t get approved.

3️⃣ Ad Exchanges for CTV / FAST

For users building serious FAST channels:

Examples:

• FreeWheel

• PubMatic

• Xandr

But again — they require scale.
