In this article we will explore a bit deeper about the PubPower platform and how it works.

What is Header Bidding?

Header bidding is an advanced programmatic advertising technique that allows publishers to offer their ad inventory to several ad exchanges simultaneously before making calls to their ad servers.

How Does It Work

1. On the Publisher’s Side: The publisher includes a header bidding script (often JavaScript) in the header of their website’s pages. This script is executed whenever a page is loaded.
2. Ad Requests: When a user visits the publisher’s website, the header bidding script sends out ad requests to multiple demand sources or ad exchanges at once, inviting them to bid for the ad space.
3. The Auction: Ad exchanges receive the request and conduct an auction among the advertisers they represent. Each participating advertiser submits a bid for how much they’re willing to pay to display their ad to the user.
4. Winning Bid Selection: The highest bids from each ad exchange are then sent back to the publisher’s ad server. The ad server compares these bids against each other and against any direct deals or other ad sources the publisher might have.
5. Ad Display: The highest overall bid wins the ad space, and the winning ad is displayed to the user.

PubPower Optimization Timeline

A typical “pattern” of optimization for a site within the PubPower system spans 12 weeks starting from few ads visible to fully filled and optimized. Following this period, enhancements continue as the system experiments with new layouts and becomes more attuned to your users’ preferences. What proves highly effective on one website may not resonate with your audience, necessitating a process of trial and error to discover what works best.

You can consult this timeline table to understand how PubPower’s optimization process works.

• Discovery phase (Week 1-3): PubPower is actively collecting information regarding your site and the impact of various significant layout modifications. During this phase, performance typically ranges from marginally below to marginally above that of your previous website’s performance. It’s common to observe a modest increment in ad fill-rate and revenue throughout this duration.
• Optimization phase (Week 4-12): PubPower has begun to understand your website and its visitors, yet it hasn’t fully grasped all the nuances required. As PubPower gathers more insights, you’re likely to witness a notable uptick in performance, which will be succeeded by a 6-8 week phase of consistent enhancement.
• Completion phase (12+): The PubPower platform continuously tests and learns from your website, typically showing month-over-month improvements indefinitely. By leveraging continuous testing and the expertise of engineers and data scientists, publishers can expect enhancements. However, for PubPower to demonstrate its full potential, a minimum commitment of 12 weeks is advisable. The process is optimized using advanced statistical methods, but effective results depend on sufficient data. Analysis indicates that the most significant factor determining a site’s success on PubPower is the amount of time given to the system to optimize and produce results—the more time allowed, the higher the likelihood of success.
• Optimization over time: PubPower persistently evaluates other high-performing variations against the current top performer, guided by user behavior, to confirm it remains the most effective. This ongoing testing, now with added sophistication, integrates insights from various sites and adapts to emerging platform technologies and devices. In this phase, the majority of users experience the ‘best’ layout, while a smaller segment of traffic explores alternative versions. It’s a methodical process aimed at continuous and systematic enhancement.
