  • An online advertising network or ad network is a company that connects advertisers to web sites that want to host advertisements.
  • the key function of an ad network is aggregation of ad space supply from publishers and matching it with advertiser demand.
  • nline ad network facilitates aggregation of publisher ad space and sale to advertisers is most commonly seen in the online space.
  • the fundamental difference between traditional media ad networks and online ad networks is that online ad networks use a central Ad server to deliver advertisements to consumers, which enables targeting, tracking and reporting of impressions in ways not possible with analog media alternatives.
  • the advertising network market is a large and growing market, with the top 20 companies earning about $2 billion in revenues during 2007.
  • Ad networks are primarily involved in selling space for online ads to appear. This online advertising inventory comes in many different forms, including space on websites, in RSS feeds, on blogs, in instant messaging applications, in adware, in e-mails, and on other sources. The dominant form of inventory continues to be third-party websites, who work with advertising networks for either a fee or a share of the ad revenues. An advertiser can buy a run of network package, or a run of category package within the network.
  • the advertising network serves advertisements from its central ad server, which responds to a site once a page is called. A snippet of code is called from the ad server that represents the advertising banner.
  • Large publishers often sell only their remnant inventory through ad networks. Typical numbers range from 10% to 60% of total inventory being remnant and sold through advertising networks. Smaller publishers often sell their entire inventory through ad networks.
  • One type of ad network known as a blind network, is such that advertisers place ads, but do not know the exact places where their ads are being placed.
  • Large ad networks include a mixture of search engines, media companies, and technology vendors.
  • Vertical Networks They represent the publications in their portfolio, with full transparency for the advertiser about where their ads will run. They typically promote high quality traffic at market prices and are heavily used by brand marketers. The economic model is generally revenue share. Vertical Networks offer ROS (Run-Of-Site) advertising across specific Channels (example: Auto or Travel) or they offer site-wide advertising options, in which case they operate in a similar fashion to Publisher Representation firms.
  • ROS Raster-Of-Site
  • Blind Networks These companies offer good pricing to direct marketers in exchange for those marketers relinquishing control over where their ads will run, though some networks offer a "site opt out" method.
  • the network usually runs campaigns as RON or Run-Of- Network.
  • Blind networks achieve their low pricing through large bulk buys of typically remnant inventory combined with conversion optimization and ad targeting technology.
  • Targeted Networks Sometimes called “next generation” or “2.0" ad networks, these focus on specific targeting technologies such as behavioral or contextual, that have been built into an Ad server. Targeted networks specialize in using consumer clickstream data to enhance the value of the inventory they purchase. Further specialized targeted networks include social graph technologies which attempt to enhance the value of inventory using connections in social networks.
  • First-tier advertising networks have a large number of their own advertisers and publishers, they have high quality traffic, and they serve ads and traffic to second-tier networks. Examples of first-tier networks include the major search engines.
  • Second-tier advertising networks may have some of their own advertisers and publishers, but their main source of revenue comes from syndicating ads from other advertising networks.
  • Ad exchanges are technology platforms that facilitate the bidded buying and selling of online media advertising inventory from multiple ad networks. The approach is technology-driven as opposed to the historical approach of negotiating price on media inventory. Ad exchanges can be useful to both buyers (advertisers and agencies) and sellers (online publishers) because of the efficiencies they provide.
  • Ad exchanges eliminate complexity and inefficiency by auctioning individual ad impressions in "realtime" between multiple advertisers, and selling them to the highest bidder; this auction process ensures that publishers maximize their revenue.
  • Ad exchanges provide a single point of contact between publishers and ad buyers which improves efficiency. They also provide impression level data on visitors and web pages to advertisers, enabling them to modify their buying strategies based on real-time feedback. Exchanges also make it easy for both publishers and networks to fulfill campaigns, by delivering each impression when it is sold, instead of selling it in advance selling based on forecasts.
  • Ad serving describes the technology and service that places advertisements on web sites.
  • Ad serving technology companies provide software to web sites and advertisers to serve ads, count them, choose the ads that will make the website or advertiser most money, and monitor progress of different advertising campaigns.
  • An ad server is a computer server, specifically a web server that stores advertisements used in online marketing and delivers them to website visitors. The content of the web server is constantly updated so that the website or webpage on which the ads are displayed contains new advertisements— e.g., banners (static images/animations) or text— when the site or page is visited or refreshed by a user.
  • the purpose of ad serving is to deliver targeted ads that match the website visitor's interest.
  • Ad serving also performs various other tasks like counting the number of impressions/clicks for an ad campaign and report generation, which helps in determining the ROI for an advertiser on a particular website.
  • Ad servers can be run locally or by third-party or remote ad servers. Local ad servers are typically run by a single publisher and serve ads to that publisher's domains, allowing fine-grained creative, formatting, and content control by that publisher. Remote ad servers can serve ads across domains owned by multiple publishers. They deliver the ads from one central source so that advertisers and publishers can track the distribution of their online advertisements, and have one location for controlling the rotation and distribution of their advertisements across the web.
  • Deals provider e.g. Groupon is a commission-based middleman service.
  • Groupon They provide a motivated customer base to the seller, and promises to achieve X number of sales per day. If Groupon doesn't meet that promised quota, there is no need for the seller to provide any discount services, nor any commission pay to Groupon. Much more common, however, is where Groupon exceeds their quota of daily interested customers, and then all of the Groupon customers enjoy a half-price deal while the seller enjoys a big rush of new customers, and Groupon earns a commission from the sales. (As of this writing, Groupon earns a commission of 50% of the coupon sell price). It's a very powerful win-win situation for all 3 parties. Groupon subscribers like to forward the dea!-of-the-day as recommendation links to their friend.
  • the basic concept of the daily deal is a business offers a particular discount, such as a dozen donuts or a box of printer paper at a deeply discounted price, and the deal is publicized by a daily deals site, which offers it up to its audience of bargain-hungry buyers.
  • the discounts are generally broken down by market or by location to guarantee that the deal is targeted to people who are actually likely to take part.
  • Interested customers buy the deal through the site itself, and then redeem the coupon with the business for the goods or service offered. The proceeds of each sale are then split between the business and the daily deals site.
