Header Bidding

Key Publisher Challenges


Low Ad Yield

Under the previously prevailing "waterfall setup" of ad serving, publishers worked with networks that offered them the highest rates first before pushing the inventory to those who offered lower rates until every impression was monetized. Pushing the ad inventory around this way is not optimal, as it leads to increased latency and missed revenue opportunities.

Lack of Transparency

With typical RTB-based programmatic setups, publishers are in the dark about bid-level data. Also, ad networks often have a conflict of interest when they have their own advertisers to please, along with third-party relations. So, you have to rely on the data that the network provides. As such, it becomes difficult to verify the growth in your ad revenue or track impression-level yield.

Inefficient Header Bidding Setups

Most existing publishers who use header bidding either have vanilla Prebid setups or use header bidding wrappers provided by ad networks, both of which lack key features such as dynamic demand partner selection, smart timeout management, multi-ad size support, protection against bid manipulation, and along with lacking the access to demand from top-tier partners.

Header Bidding Solution Key Advantages


Automatic Demand Partner Selection

The number of demand partners (and which partners) in an auction can greatly impact the yield—too many partners can slow the process and too few kills bid competition. Our engine automatically selects the optimal number of partners for each transaction. Our Header Bidding Wrapper also allows geo-specific as well as device-specific bidder selection for better performance.

Smart Timeout Management

Timeouts are used to set an upper limit for how long the setup will wait for bids from each demand partner before closing the auction. We test and fine-tune timeout settings to find the sweet spot between maximizing yield and reducing latency.

Bring Your Own Demand

We understand that publishers may already be working with some header bidding demand partners that they may not want to abandon. Our header bidding solution allows you to onboard them and have them compete with our premium demand sources—a win-win for both.

Pipeline Optimization

Experience granular control over header bidding auctions by selectively enabling and disabling bidders by ad unit, location, device, and time of the day to ensure maximum yield without compromising on page vitals and browser resources. Our Header Bidding Platform guarantees publishers optimal deal performance.

Bid Monitoring & Discrepancy Resolution

Our header bidding system monitors and records all bids made by buyers, which can be reviewed by the publishers as well. In case of any mismatch between recorded bids and final yield, we have a discrepancy resolution process in place.

Multi-adsize Support

Our header bidding solution considers bids for all the ad unit sizes that can fit within the ad container that is being bid on. This creates a wider pool of bids and helps maximize the revenue for every single ad impression.

Experience Faster Ads, Better Monetization, with Smart + Managed Header Bidding

Our Header Bidding platform records bid-level transaction data on the client-side, so that you’re protected against post-auction bid adjustment by demand partners.

Increase Bid Pressure

Since header bidding allows multiple demand partners to bid simultaneously in real-time, it elevates the bid pressure on the inventory, ultimately resulting in higher revenue potential for publishers..

Better User Experience

Although client-side header bidding is typically known to increasing latency, our automated timeouts and demand partner selection ensure efficient auctions that lead to faster loading ads.
