The Best SSPs (Supply-Side Platforms) for Web Publishers

In a recent post, we covered what supply-side platforms are, how they work, the benefits of using an SSP, how they differ from demand-side platforms, and how to choose the right SSP. To recap: “A supply-side platform is a technology platform that enables web publishers to manage their ad inventory, fill it with ads, and generate ad revenue.”

That’s a really basic explanation. Read our explainer on supply-site platforms to if you want to get into the details. Now, let’s say you’ve learnt everything you had to about supply-side platforms and now you’re ready to try one… what are your options?

Google Ad Manager

Google Ad Manager

Last year, Google packed its ad server Google DFP and ad exchange Google AdX into one offering called Google Ad Manager for publishers. AdX brings together buyers and sellers across the industry to create the world’s largest real-time bidding (RTB) platform. While DFP allows publishers to rotate between ad networks and sell ad space directly to advertisers. Together, they make the most powerful supply-side platform for publishers.

Google Ad Manager comes with out-of-the-box support for video, native, and custom ad formats. It also allows publishers to manage all their ad sources in one place and grow their business with programmatic and data-driven decision-making. Google takes brand safety very seriously and consequently Ad Manager is certified by the Trustworthy Accountability Group (TAG) for prevention against privacy, malware, and fraud.

Google Ad Manager is free to use up to 90m impressions / month. Now you’re probably thinking: “So, what’s the catch?” Well, in order to get access to Google Ad Manager, you have to be a preferred publisher with at least 5 million monthly pageviews. Yes, it’s a bit steep. There is another way for publishers to gain access to Ad Manager including AdX, and that is to work with an ad tech partner under the Network Management Program. (Hint: We are one.)

Get Access to Google AdX Demand

If you’re not meeting the traffic requirement or are unable to gain access to Google Ad Manager due to some other policy reasons, sign up with AdPushup to gain access to the AdX inventory. Another advantage of working with us: In addition to AdX, we will also connect you with other top-tier ad networks and exchanges including AppNexus, Rubicon, and Criteo among others, so you have access to an even wider pool of demand.

Open X SSP

Publishers can select various selling models, including private marketplaces, for premium inventory and direct buyer relationships. Publishers set the parameters that support their business goals for each campaign, and can rest assured that only the highest quality ads make it. Customisable built-in reports show publishers the views that measure their top goals.
