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) * Index Exchange * InMobi * Magnite Inc (formed by the combination of Rubicon Project, SpotX, and Telaria) * OpenX (company) * Pubmatic * Smaato * Xandr (formerly AppNexus, now owned by Microsoft) * Yahoo (formerly AOL, Brightroll, OATH and other entities rolled into the Yahoo brand) See also ...

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. Ofte ...
