Everything A Beginner Wants to Know About Programmatic Advertising

Programmatic Advertising will be the future of Digital Advertising. Programmatic Advertising is the way of buying, selling, and optimizing digital campaigns automatically. It automates the ads using AI algorithms to target the audience.

Programmatic Advertising helps you to avoid unwanted negotiations which naturally happens in buying and selling ads. It is an AI technology-based system designed to efficiently target the audience, based on their behavior and the demographics at the right time.

Finding the real-time behavior of every individual will be a headache for every marketer. By using Programmatic Advertising we can individualize our campaigns. It opens the window to reach a wider audience with personalized messages.

Let’s say a boy was browsing your site for sports shoes. With the programmatic advertising, you’ll know the price range of the shoe he considered. You can also extract other key information, such as:

• How did he arrive at your site?
• What is the age and behavior of the boy?
• Which sports shoes did other shoppers with similar behaviors purchase?
• What did he end up purchasing, if anything?
• Was he shopping on a mobile device?

The programmatic advertising answers the customers’ questions before they ask and the AI programmed technology automatically scans the change in the audience’s behaviour.

Real Time Bidding (RTB)

RTB is an essential ingredient in Programmatic Advertising. RTB is an advertising inventory that refers to buying and selling online ad impressions through programmatic auctions. RTB allows buyers to offer individual impressions to a large number of sites at the same time. In this way buyers can target specific demographics accurately. RTB is beneficial to both advertisers and publishers. It allows advertisers to choose where their ad is going to be placed and it allows the publishers to continue ad targeting which helps in better conversion.

How Does Programmatic Advertising Work?

If anyone clicks on a website, it will show an advertising space that is configured for programmatic advertising. The page publisher will give an ad value for the auction in the marketplace and the page publisher will arrange an auction for the interested advertisers for the ad space.

There may be many advertisers participating in the auction and the page shows the ad of the advertiser who won the highest bid in the auction when the page loads by the customer. The auction will be completed within milliseconds because it is an automatic process that the maximum price advertisers are willing to bid for the ad space is already programmed in.
