Five Reasons Why Ad Networks Just Won’t Die

For years now, the digital advertising industry has been talking about the premature death of the ad network, writes Omri Argaman, chief growth officer at Zoomd.

Apple appears to be providing its homegrown ad network with more granular measurement functionality that what everyone else will get through SKAdNetwork.
Is Apple Giving Its Own Ad Network An Unfair Advantage?

Apple appears to be providing its homegrown ad network with more granular measurement functionality that what everyone else will get through SKAdNetwork. Specifically, the Apple Ads Attribution API payload field will include two parameters that are important for optimization – creativeSet ID and keywordID – but totally absent from SKAdNetwork postbacks. Without creativeSetID, advertisers won’t know which… Continue reading »

The programmatic ecosystem spent the last 10 years in a state of hyper growth, and programmatic spending surpassed $100 billion dollars globally for the first time in 2019. While the next 10 years will likely bring a slowdown due to market maturation and data regulations, it’s indisputable that programmatic buying and the rise of ad… Continue reading »

The Walled Gardens Are Eating Open Programmatic – Here’s How They Do It

Beyond the money they mint with their owned-and-operated inventory, Google, Facebook and Amazon are, each in their own way, bidding into nearly every programmatic auction that takes place across the open internet. Although programmatic is growing year over year, independent ad tech players are increasingly fighting over the remaining crumbs while the walled gardens cut… Continue reading »

Ad Networks Are Starting To Get Their Anti-Fraud Ducks In A Row

Ad networks catch a lot of flak as conduits of bad traffic from shady publishers. “It is true that some bad players intentionally sell fraudulent traffic and that other players are just turning a blind eye,” said Asaf Greiner, CEO and founder of fraud detection company Protected Media. “But there are also others working very… Continue reading »

Forced Mobile Redirects Take Users Where They Don’t Want To Go

Now available on your mobile device: all the crummy, spammy experiences you’ve come to expect from desktop.

Ad Net Undertone Acquired By Perion, Israeli Performance Marketing Company

Publishers Rejoice As Platforms Shun Ad Networks

LiveRail and AppNexus removing resellers from their respective platforms last week were two more nails in the ad network coffin. If any publishers were upset, AdExchanger couldn’t find them.

LinkedIn’s Display Offering No Longer A Strength

LinkedIn’s display business deteriorated during Q1 2015 and will continue to tumble, the company said during its quarterly earnings call on Thursday. While LinkedIn reported Q1 revenues of $638 million, up 35% YoY, its disappointing Q2 and full-year guidance ($670-$675 million and $2.9 billion respectively) sent shares plummeting more than 25%. During the call, CFO… Continue reading »
