About the host

Vijay Kumar is the Founder and CEO of Mile, where he has spent over a decade helping publishers navigate modern Ad Tech. His work spans pricing strategy, yield optimization, and infrastructure decisions, always focused on giving publishers more clarity and control.

As host of Web Without Walls, Vijay brings real-world experience and thoughtful curiosity to every conversation. He asks the questions publishers care about, challenges assumptions when needed, and creates space for honest, practical industry dialogue.

Vijay's Take

  • “Yeah, I would lean into that and say measurement and attribution or advertisers is more important rather than them pointing out that this traffic came from a page source and this is not good.”
  • “As a publisher, there's so many things that you can do on Programmatic and at the same time, you don't know what's going to move the needle, right? And most of the publishers have optimized their Programmatic stack and they continue to optimize in different forms.”

Ziv's Take

  • “Publishers are bombarded with different offers and opportunities and everybody promises to, I'll grow your yield 20%. Here you add the sticky and it's 40%. If you take all these advices, you grow a thousand percent month over month, but we all know it's not correct.”
  • “I think CPM is the most overrated KPI in the industry.”
  • “But I think it's all about maintaining a good experience and then it's worth it for the user, worth it for the advertiser and can be profitable for the publisher.”
