This document discusses the realities of revenue from online display advertising, specifically for video real-time bidding (RTB). It notes that while RTB has significantly increased availability and optimization of display ads, video is far behind with a constrained supply and greater emphasis on branding over direct response. The document provides advice on how publishers can get ready for RTB video, including investing in quality content, focusing on custom audiences and multi-platform approaches, and using RTB to efficiently reach broad audiences on a budget. A case study demonstrates how a mobile advertising campaign through RTB significantly exceeded its revenue goals.
