HEADER BIDDING VS WATERFALL: WHICH IS THE BEST BIDDING STRATEGY?
What is Header Bidding?
Header bidding, also known as advance bidding or in-app bidding, was used by 84% of the top 10,000 sites in the United States, and more than half of US publishers agreed that it resulted in better eCPMs. In the most literal sense, it is an automated auction that allows mobile app publishers to sell their ad inventory in an auction where all advertisers may compete for ad space at the same time.
Pros and Cons of Header Bidding
Pros:
- provides publishers is increased yield
- granularly monitor single impression-level data from header bidding and pre-decide inventory value
- better control to offer ad slots and brands
- know exactly how much advertisers are ready to pay for each impression
- boosts e-CPM by enhancing competition among advertisers
Cons:
- overcome many of the difficulties associated with waterfall auctions, it is not without downsides
- require technical knowledge to understand and implement Header Bidding
- need the execution of an additional script on the page, which might increase load time
What is Waterfall Bidding?
Waterfall bidding is the traditional method of ad serving. It was created about the same time as brick mobile phones and disk drives. Waterfall bidding was a slow but successful way to raise publisher fill rates.
Pros and Cons of Waterfall Bidding
Pros:
- The waterfall approach is a perfect solution for excess ad inventory
- It is easy to implement since it simply takes copying and pasting pass-back tags from one SSP (or ad network) to another
Cons:
- experience poor ROI because SSPs/ad networks bid on impressions sequentially rather than concurrently as in RTB
- When impressions are moved on to the next SSP/ad network, the CPM floor price falls, limiting high-paying advertisers from bidding more and, as a result, lowering publisher income
- The sequential selling procedure results in a significant impression discrepancy
