Create ad units in other advertising networks {#step-1} For each external ad network you are going to connect, create an ad unit in the interface of this network and get the parameters for integrating the unit into Yandex Mediation. {% note info %} If you use [Smart Waterfall](https://boost.yandex.com/doc/en/ad-monetization/monetization/yandex-mediation/types.md#smart-waterfall) to connect the network, create multiple ad units with different CPM floors. The more ad units you add to Mobile Mediation, the more accurately the platform will forecast the bid from the external ad network. Overall, you can add up to 100 ad units per ad network to Yandex Mediation. To connect an ad network using In-App Bidding, you only need to create one ad unit. {% endnote %} Below are examples of creating ad units in external ad networks. {% cut "AppLovin" %} 1.
