Five Best Ad Servers

Written by Aysling

What is an ad server?

Ad servers are used to manage and display online advertising to users on a website. They allow publishers, advertisers, and ad agencies to manage online advertising campaigns. They make immediate decisions about what ads to place on a website and then display those ads.

Ad servers also collect and report data – such as impressions and clicks – for advertisers to help them see how their ads are performing.

Both publishers and advertisers can take advantage of ad servers. Publishers can use them to help manage advertising space on their websites and to show ads that have been sold to advertisers. The ad server is responsible for making decisions about what ads to display on a website using certain criteria, displaying those ads, and then gathering data about the ads.

Advertisers can use ad servers to track their advertising campaigns. The servers collect data on the ads and on different metrics, such as impressions and clicks. The ad server can be used to pull together all of the information for various advertising across all the publishers and ad networks and other platforms that the advertiser is running ads on.

Running ads on multiple sites

Ad servers enable companies to efficiently run ads on multiple websites by ensuring that both ad management and reporting are done from a central location.

By keeping all the advertising on an ad server, companies don’t need to work individually with each publisher every time they make a change to their ads. Anytime they want to make changes, they can do it from this single platform. By centralizing all of the ads on the ad server, companies can cut costs and get greater value from their advertising investment.

Ad servers also allow companies to collect important data. They can see who their customers are and what interests them.

The ad servers allow companies to consolidate all of their data in one place, enabling them to make informed decisions about how to reach customers and tailor the ads to their particular needs.
