Google Ad Exchange
through Google MCM
Google's exchange, inside your own account.
Through Google's Multiple Customer Management program, your inventory sells on Google Ad Exchange while your Google Ad Manager account stays yours.
- Your account
- You add our service account as a user of your own Ad Manager network. The network stays yours.
- We do the build
- Ad units for all five formats, the order and the Ad Exchange line item are created for you, and named so you can find them.
- Google's own numbers
- Your reports are pulled from Google's reporting, for those ad units only.
Prebid
header bidding
More bidders. Same auction.
Built on Prebid.js, the open-source header bidding standard. Bidders answer in the reader's browser, and their bids go into Google Ad Manager to compete with Ad Exchange on price.
- A deadline
- Bidders get 1.2 seconds unless we set otherwise. A slow one is left behind, not waited for.
- Formats
- Banner and native.
- Switched on per site
- By our team, once the matching line items are in your Ad Manager.
OpenRTB
direct partners
A second call when the first one passes.
Direct partners, connected server to server over OpenRTB 2.x. When a banner slot gets no ad from Google, our server asks every enabled partner for a bid. The highest valid price wins.
- Off the page
- Partner endpoints and credentials stay on our server. Nothing extra loads in the reader's browser.
- Floors and deadlines
- Every partner has its own price floor and its own time limit.
- Sandboxed
- A winning ad renders in a sandboxed frame, away from your page's code.
- Switched on per site
- By our team.
