If the publisher is not directly integrated with us, but we access the traffic programmatically, we do not receive the impression directly, but first only an auction in which we can participate. There we have to win against the competition with a CPM bid from our bidder, so that the impression can come into our system as in the other case and is then filled with one or more ads via the internal ranking.
Performance marketing can be very time-consuming for advertisers. Only with optimal CPC allocation, permanent control and adjustment of bids, you can make your campaign successful. Is that annoying? We think so too. That's why we develop solutions every day that take work off the advertiser's hands and can implement the optimization even more precisely than we can ourselves.
