Ad Exchange
An ad exchange is a technology platform that facilitates the buying and selling of media advertising inventory from multiple ad networks. Prices for the inventory are determined through real-time bidding (RTB). The approach is technology-driven as opposed to the historical approach of negotiating price on media inventory. This represents a field beyond ad networks as defined by the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB), and by advertising trade publications. Ad exchanges Notable ad exchanges include: * AppLovin (which recently acquired MoPub) * FreeWheel (owned by Comcast) * Google Ad Manager (also known as Google Authorized Buyers, formerly known as AdX, and now part of Google Ad Manager) * InMobi * Magnite Inc (formed by the combination of Rubicon Project, SpotX, and Telaria) * OpenX (company) * Pubmatic * Smaato * Xandr (formerly AT&T AdWorks which bought AppNexus, now owned by Microsoft) * Yahoo (formerly AOL, Brightroll, OATH and other entities rolled into the ...

Supply-side Platform
A supply-side platform (SSP) or sell-side platform is a technology platform to enable web publishers and digital out-of-home (DOOH) media owners to manage their advertising inventory, fill it with ads, and receive revenue. Many of the larger web publishers of the world use a supply-side platform to automate and optimize the selling of their online media space. A supply-side platform interfaces on the publisher side to advertising networks and exchanges, which in turn interface to demand-side platforms (DSP) on the advertiser side. This system allows advertisers to put online advertising and DOOH advertising before a selected target audience. SSPs send potential impressions into ad exchanges, where DSPs purchase them on marketers' behalf, depending on specific targeting attributes and audience data. By offering impressions to as many potential buyers as possible publishers can maximize the revenue. Therefore, SSPs are sometimes referred to as yield-optimization platforms. Oft ...

Demand-side Platform
A demand-side platform (DSP) is a concept that combines various software for advertisers (or advertising agencies) to automate the process of buying and selling ad impressions in real time. This platform provides digital advertising inventory with a dashboard, where the advertiser can manage their campaign by defining the target audience, bid amount, overall budgets, ad format, and other parameters, while getting feedback about ad impressions and audience behavior. Much like paid search, using DSPs allows users to optimize based on set key performance indicators such as effective cost per click (eCPC) and effective cost per action (eCPA). There are 2 types of DSPs: * Full-service is a hands-off management model from the agency-side, in which the planning, launch and optimization of an advertising campaign is carried out by account managers of the DSP platform. * Self-service, in contrast, is like full-service but the management is carried out by the agency or advertiser them ...
