Supply-side platform
A supply-side platform (SSP) or sell-side platform is a technology platform to enable web publishers and digital out-of-home (DOOH) media owners to manage their advertising space inventory, fill it with ads, and receive revenue.[1] Many of the larger web publishers of the world use a supply-side platform to automate and optimize the selling of their online media space.[2]
A supply-side platform interfaces on the publisher side to advertising networks and exchanges,[3] which in turn interface to demand-side platforms (DSP) on the advertiser side.[4][5]
This system allows advertisers to put online advertising and DOOH advertising before a selected target audience.[6] SSPs send potential impressions into ad exchanges, where DSPs purchase them on marketers’ behalf, depending on specific targeting attributes and audience data[7]. By offering impressions to as many potential buyers as possible publishers can maximize the revenue. Therefore, SSPs are sometimes referred to as yield-optimization platforms.[8] With the arrival of GDPR, Supply-side platforms are required to work along with Consent Management Platforms (CMPs)[9]
Often, real-time bidding (RTB) is used to complete DSP transactions.[10][11]
Unlike advertising networks that target buyers (advertisers), supply-side platforms provide services for publishers (website, app, and DOOH owners).[12] Supply-side platforms are often integrated into the structure of advertising and ad serving companies, as well as ad exchanges that work with both publishers (supply side) and advertisers (demand side):[13]
