Boost Your Revenue: Monetise with Programmatic Ads

Publishers, are you looking to maximise your revenue from web and app audiences? If so, programmatic advertising via Limelight could be the answer.


This automated process connects advertisers to your inventory in real-time, making it a win-win for everyone involved. Let's explore how it works and why you should hop on board.


What is Programmatic Advertising?

Instead of traditional ad sales models with human negotiations, programmatic uses cutting-edge platforms like Limelight, algorithms and machine learning to buy and sell ad space. 


Within milliseconds, publishers can offer their inventory to multiple ad networks and exchanges simultaneously. Advertisers then bid for the ad impressions most relevant to their target audience.


The Benefits for Publishers


Increased Revenue Potential


By opening up your inventory to more buyers in an auction-style marketplace, programmatic drives up competition and secures higher ad rates. Those premium ad spots will be snapped up by the highest bidder.


Precise Audience Targeting


Programmatic leverages rich audience data like browsing behaviours, demographics, and interests. This allows relevant ads to be served to the right users at the ideal moment for maximum impact and engagement.


Operational Efficiency 


No more laborious manual processes and back-and-forth negotiations with advertisers. The automated programmatic systems handle the heavy lifting, giving you more time to focus on your core publishing business.


Getting Started


Implement the Right Tech Stack


To participate in programmatic auctions, you'll need a supply-side platform (SSP) or ad exchange that can receive and manage bid requests for your inventory. Ensure your SSP integrates with major demand partners (HINT Limelight does!).


Optimise Your Inventory


Organise your ad placements into packages with detailed targeting data. Premium ad spots and exclusive placements can be sold through private marketplace deals for top dollar.


Monitor and Adjust


Leverage reporting insights to identify high-performing inventory and audience segments. Continuously tweak your ad stack and strategies to drive the best results.


Making the Programmatic Shift


There's no denying that programmatic is rapidly becoming the preferred way to buy and sell ads online and in-apps. 


By embracing this data-driven, automated approach, publishers can streamline operations, access a wealth of advertiser demand, and ultimately boost their revenue potential.
