insertion orders to purchase digital media

200 MILLISECONDS: THE LIFE OF A PROGRAMMATIC RTB AD IMPRESSION
Real-Time Bidding (RTB) Explained
“Jane Doe” clicks on URL. Publisher
content begins to load.
Publisher may find information it has stored on
Jane Doe, possibly in its DMP.
Publisher sends available info to its ad
server asking if an ad campaign is
available to target Jane Doe. If so, an
ad is served.
If no campaign targets Jane Doe, the server
seeks to match the impression
programmatically, seeking response from
selected traders, ad networks and SSPs.
If impression isn’t cleared, server may seek to
clear it in programmatic direct via private
exchanges. If not cleared, request is sent to
an open ad exchange, seeking liquidity.

Each bidder processes bid requests, overlaying with
added user data and marketers’ target and budget
rules. Each bidder evaluates requests, selects creative
and sends with optimal bid price to ad exchange.
Ad exchange selects winning bid from
bidder responses through 2nd price auction.
Ad exchange sends winning ad URL
and price from winning bid to
Publisher’s ad server, which tells Jane
Doe’s browser which ad to display.
Jane Doe’s browser pulls ad from winning
bidder to ad server and sends matching ad
to browser. Browser displays web page
including matching ad.
Winning bidder’s ad server receives ad tag data
on Jane Doe’s initial interaction experience.
