DMP

Difference between DSP and Ad Exchange

The DSP handles the management, allowing us to upload creatives, choose segmentations, etc. The ad Exchange is just the robot that bids for the advertising spaces.


DSP

Demand Side Platform (DSP) -> platform that manages the programmatic buying for the brand or client.


eCPM

Dynamic cost per thousand. Allows the DSP to raise or lower the bid to obtain the space. Ideal for performance models.


PMP

Purchase deal with some site. It is a "manual" process that requires human resources to close it. It connects through a code or number in the DSP at the time of the setting.


SSP

Supply Side Platform (offer) -> platform that manages the inventory of advertisers or publishers.

Search Term Impression Share

The search term impression share is your account-wide share (in %) of the total impressions across all advertisers.

Example: Your search impression share is 40% for the search term ‘running shoes’ on February 15. That means that across all your campaigns you got 40% of all the ad impressions for ‘running shoes’ on that day. All other advertisers got the remaining 60%.

Search Term Impression Rank

Your search term impression rank is the numeric rank of your account-wide impression share in relation to all the other advertisers generating impressions on the same specific search term. A numerical rank of 1 here would indicate that your account has the highest search term impression share for a specific search term.

Example: Your search term impression rank is 3 for the search term ‘running shoes’ on February 15. That means that 2 other advertisers generated more impressions than your account on that day.
