Supply-side platform

Where a supply side platform fits in an online advertising system

A supply-side platform or sell-side platform (SSP) is a technology platform to enable web publishers 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 before a selected target audience.[6] SSPs are sending impressions into ad exchanges, where DSPs purchase them on marketers’ behalf, depending on specific targeting attributes. 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.[7] Often, real-time bidding (RTB) is used to complete DSP transactions.[8][9]

Examples

Unlike advertising networks that target buyers (advertisers), supply-side platforms provide services for publishers (website and app owners).[10] 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):[11]
