What is ADX?
An Ad Exchange (AdX) is a digital marketplace, which buyers and sellers can purchase and sell digital advertising inventory in a digital, programactic, and frequently real-time manner. It serves as a middleman between publishers, who have an advertising space to sell, and advertisers seeking to place their advertisement. The process of an Ad Exchange aims to sell the available ad inventory to the most relevant or highest paying ads via auctions by automated means, thus being faster, more efficient and also more transparent than the traditional ad networks.
Ad Exchanges are run programmatically, that is, they are sold automatically by software instead of negotiated directly. Upon visiting a site that features AdX inventory, the user is auctioned an immediate bid speech in order to decide which advertisement is going to appear. The ad that wins is typically the one that gives the publisher the highest revenue and at the same time reaches the right audience of the advertiser. Such a system makes sure that both parties publishers and advertisers receive maximum value out of every ad impression.
Google AdX (Google AdX) can be cited as one of the most famous examples of an Ad Exchange. It will enable publishers to sell inventory automatically and advertisers access high-quality ad placements on a large number of high-quality sites. AdX is a generic term though, and does encompass other platforms, including OpenX, Rubicon Project and AppNexus. The basic principle on which each Ad Exchange works is the same: real-time auctions, programmatic ads buying, and automated matching between the supply (publishers) and demand (advertisers).
Ad Exchanges have the advantage of making publishers more money and have more say on the kind of ads that would be displayed on their sites. The minimum price that the publishers can charge per impression, blocking of specific categories, or direct deals and programmatic sales can be given priority. To the advertisers, Ad Exchanges also enable them to achieve scale, targeting and efficiencies to access the right audience in several websites without having to deal with each transaction separately.
Why do many publishers use Adsense?
The reason many publishers prefer Google AdSense is the highly localized advertising, this means that the ads are displayed in the language of the visitor, the location, and the way he/she is browsing the site, thus the advertising is much more relevant and more engaging. Another advantage of the platform is a clean and easy to use interface that enables publishers to create ad units easily, customize formats, and monitor performance with no technical challenge. AdSense focuses on creating a pleasant user experience that has ad designs that are responsive and mobile-friendly and does not disrupt the web page layouts. Google being its supporter means it has high quality and reliable ads and maximizes revenues. Relevance, usability, and user experience focus are the features that contribute to AdSense popularity as one of the most popular solutions that publishers should use to monetize their sites effectively.
