And advertisers were able to get hold of premium inventories and target audience in a better way.

This is done by putting a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/using-third-party-javascript\/\">JavaScript <\/a>code in the header section of the publishers\u2019 website, where a client-side auction is then initiated. To name some of the <a aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/benefits-of-header-bidding\/\" target=\"_blank\">benefits of header bidding<\/a>, it\u2019s transparent, offers better fill rate, and generates higher revenue, but is bogged down by page latency issues. Publishers now have multiple <a aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/top-10-header-bidding-demand-partners\/\" target=\"_blank\">header bidding partners<\/a> to choose from, each offering attractive deals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also see this video to know about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/header-bidding-wrappers\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/header-bidding-wrappers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">header bidding wrappers<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-wistia-inc wp-block-embed-wistia-inc\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<script src=\"https:\/\/fast.wistia.com\/assets\/external\/E-v1.js\" async><\/script><div class=\"wistia_responsive_padding\" style=\"padding:56.25% 0 0 0;position:relative;\"><div class=\"wistia_responsive_wrapper\" style=\"height:100%;left:0;position:absolute;top:0;width:100%;\"><div class=\"wistia_embed wistia_async_jmlvep19j1 dnt=1 videoFoam=true\" style=\"height:100%;position:relative;width:100%\"><div class=\"wistia_swatch\" style=\"height:100%;left:0;opacity:0;overflow:hidden;position:absolute;top:0;transition:opacity 200ms;width:100%;\"><img src=\"https:\/\/fast.wistia.com\/embed\/medias\/jmlvep19j1\/swatch\" style=\"filter:blur(5px);height:100%;object-fit:contain;width:100%;\" alt=\"\" aria-hidden=\"true\" onload=\"this.parentNode.style.opacity=1;\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-what-is-exchange-bidding\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Exchange_Bidding\"><\/span>What is Exchange Bidding?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Exchange Bidding is also an RTB auction but fully managed by Google. Google generates a bid request and passes it to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/google-ad-manager-360-everything-you-get-with-gam-360\/\">Ad Manager<\/a> for auction. Then this bid request is categorized based on visitors&#8217; demographics, ad type, size, and format. Depending on the category, the bid request is presented to interested bidders, initiating a server-side auction. According to Google, exchange bidding is designed to reduce the complexity of the bidding process for publishers and advertisers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-exchange-bidding-vs-header-bidding\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Exchange_Bidding_vs_Header_Bidding\"><\/span>Exchange Bidding vs. Header Bidding<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Both, header bidding and exchange bidding are designed to sell inventory to the highest bidder by making it available to multiple demand partners. However, the execution process is very different for both. And due to this difference, these processes are often compared. Here is the detailed difference between header bidding and exchange bidding:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-advantages-of-header-bidding-over-exchange-bidding\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Advantages_of_Header_Bidding_over_Exchange_Bidding\"><\/span>Advantages of Header Bidding over Exchange Bidding<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Transparency:<\/strong> Header bidding is often chosen by publishers because they can have complete control over the bidding process. Also, publishers can oversee the bidding process along with access to all the ad transaction data. However, with EBDA, Google is in-charge, the entire process is hidden from publishers and they have to accept the amount given to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Availability:<\/strong> In order to get started with header bidding, publishers only have to place a JavaScript code to their website header. Once done, they can start calling demand partners. But to access Exchange Bidding services, the publisher needs to be a DFP user.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cookie matching:<\/strong> As header bidding is a client-side auction, cookies can be accessed directly to match advertisers. On the other hand, Exchange Bidding can\u2019t do that. Yes, user information is exchanged, but most of this data is filtered in the process which makes Exchange Bidding less effective than header bidding when it comes to matching advertisers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-advantages-of-exchange-bidding-over-header-bidding\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Advantages_of_Exchange_Bidding_over_Header_Bidding\"><\/span>Advantages of Exchange Bidding over Header Bidding<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Page latency:<\/strong> One of the most discussed drawbacks of header bidding is page latency. This happens because header bidding takes place on the user\u2019s web browser. Hence making pages to load slow, although, the lag is of few milliseconds. But in the ad industry, this difference matters a lot. Whereas exchange bidding is a server-to-server bidding process. Meaning, the bidding takes place in the server without affecting the page load time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Technical knowledge:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/how-to-setup-exchange-bidding-getting-started-with-google-ebda\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Exchange Bidding saves publishers from a complex setup process (opens in a new tab)\">Exchange Bidding saves publishers from a complex setup process<\/a> and manages everything for them. Publishers just need to sign up with DFP and get started. However, header bidding requires technical knowledge to implement and manage. Though <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/header-bidding-wrappers\/\" target=\"_blank\">header bidding wrappers<\/a> make this easier, but cannot be compared to Exchange Bidding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Payments:<\/strong> With EBDA, Google handles all the payments. Payments are sent to publisher accounts directly, which is one less thing to worry about. But header bidding is managed by publishers. And sometimes, the payment doesn\u2019t match the actual bid, causing revenue loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-can-i-run-both\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_Run_Both\"><\/span>Can I Run Both?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, you can and you should.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If possible, a publisher should benefit from both header bidding and exchange bidding. Run header bidding and exchange bidding, together, as an experiment. Then monitor and compare results. The results would be varying for different publishers, hence, can\u2019t be predicted. However, at the end of this experiment, you would certainly have enough data to say\u2014which bidding process works better for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no known disadvantage of running both bidding methods together. Meaning, you are pretty much good to go for a test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-adpushup-s-header-bidding-solution\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"AdPushups_Header_Bidding_Solution\"><\/span>AdPushup\u2019s Header Bidding Solution<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Merely deploying header bidding in your ad stack isn\u2019t enough.
