Real-time bidding definition
RTB (real-time bidding) is an advertising technology that allows to conduct a real-time auction to buy and sell ads. Basically, advertisers bid for placing their ads on publishers’ websites.
It is crucial to understand that only similar advertisements compete with each other. They must have similar targeting and the same GEO. The process is quite simple — the first impression goes to the advertiser who had the highest bid, the second to the one with the second highest bid, and so on.

If you’d like to find out whether your bid is a winning one, you should pay attention to the WinRate metric at RichAds. It shows if your bid wins at the auction. To be precise, it’s the ratio of the impressions won to the total number of bids made.

How does the auction work?
The mechanism of trading is quite easy:
- The user visits a site that is connected to the SSP system, and the system immediately identifies the user by IP address and cookie.
- Then the DMP system searches for detailed information on this user, and the SSP sends all this data to the buyer (DSP.)
- Next, advertisers determine the value of this user based on the data available about him and campaign settings, and make bids.
- In real time SSP collects all the bids on a specific user, selects the winner who offered the highest bid, and shows his advertising message to the user.
Important: The auction takes place very quickly, it literally takes a few seconds.
Who participates in RTB?
There are three main types of platforms that are involved in real-time bidding:
- DSP (demand-side-platform) — platform that allows affiliate marketers and direct advertisers to buy advertising space on different sites.
- DMP (demand-management-platform) — a system that collects data about users, their behavior on various sites, interests, as well as the visits history.
- SSP (sell-side-platform) —a platform that includes many sites providing advertising spaces for additional income.
