Video Ad Yield Optimizer

Save time and make more money with DashBid

Ad Network Mediation DashBid’s supply-side platform (SSP) automatically sets up and manages dozens of video ad waterfalls for you so you can have different monetization strategies for different segments of your audience like: 

New vs returning users Content or placement type on your site Geo-location of viewer Demographic (Gender, age, income, etc.) Interest types DashBid automatically sets the order of priority of your demand networks (your “waterfall”) based on historical eCPM pricing, latency, error rates, play rates, payment terms and other factors to ensure you the maximum revenue. In addition, we collect data from all of these demand sources, track real time performance, and use predictive algorithms to update your video ad waterfalls every hour or even every 5 minutes.

DashBid calculates and automatically sets floor prices for your ad tags on most exchanges.  We take the guesswork out of optimization by actually testing yield frequently for each demand source ad different prices and iteratively adjusting to maximize yield in the context of all the networks you work with.

Through server-side and client side integration with major ad networks, we can painlessly mediate dozens of networks at one time.  Integrated network reporting features show you all of your network revenue statistics and performance in a single dashboard including DashBid’s audit of your networks impression counts for easy optimization. The dynamic algorithm incorporates user-provided data, network data, geographical performance, ad latency, historical performance, and dozens of other variables to update your network prioritization.   Our system can work in conjunction with direct sales or next to it.
