Publishers have widely adopted RTB for some of its benefits, including price floor optimization, monetization opportunities for remnant ad units, accuracy, reliability, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since RTB offers more control to publishers for managing their inventory, they should be investing in methods that help them make the most out of real-time bidding. One of those key methods is finding the right real-time bidding platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Did you know that on the global level, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prnewswire.com\/news-releases\/real-time-bidding-rtb-global-market-report-2022-ukraine-russia-war-impact-301698167.html\">RTB market is expected to reach US$28.87 billion <\/a>by 2026?

However, it is true that there is no single platform that will be suitable for all publishers. The choice is supposed to be subjective and should be based on a number of factors, including target audience, publishing niche, dominant ad formats, ad-serving technology etc.<br\/>However, there are a few things that all publishers can consider before choosing the best RTB platform for them.<br\/><\/p> <ol class=\"schema-how-to-steps\"><li class=\"schema-how-to-step\" id=\"how-to-step-1665664642466\"><strong class=\"schema-how-to-step-name\"><strong>Availability of Monetization Solution<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-how-to-step-text\">Publishers must always choose a platform that aligns with their monetization needs.

Publishers looking to monetize through in-app and video advertising should definitely consider Rubicon in their list of choices. Some of the benefits of working with Rubicon are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Publishers can make use of their header bidding wrapper built on Prebid. Additionally, Rubicon has its own private marketplace.&nbsp;<\/li><li>For video publishers, Rubicon offers around 10 different ad formats, some of which include linear, vertical, native, out-stream, etc.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Rubicon has worked with some of the best clients, including Spotify, Vox, eBay, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-looking-for-the-best-rtb-platform-still-indecisive\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Looking_for_the_Best_RTB_Platform_Still_Indecisive\"><\/span>Looking for the Best RTB Platform?

In essence, RTB unites a number of platforms and ad networks. With this, self-serving platform advertisers get to improve the acquisition of users, and publishers can sell their remaining ad units. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They provide access to all the tech components of the programmatic advertising ecosystem, so to speak, to all advertisers and publishers. This, in turn, enables media selling and media buying as well as building own independent tech solutions in a seamless manner.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#fff1f5;font-size:20px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/publisher\/get-started\/?utm_campaign=Inbound&amp;utm_source=Website&amp;utm_medium=Navbar\">Sign up here<\/a> to talk to our experts regarding the best RTB platform to choose, which is an important part of revenue optimization strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-faqs\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQs\"><\/span>FAQs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1665664769400\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">1.
