THE BASICS OF NATIVE ADVERTISING
What Is Native Advertising?
Native advertising is a type of advertising that matches the form, feel and function of the platform it appears in.
Native advertisements can be found at the top of search engine results, in the feed of social medias or at the content recommendations section of a webpage. The good thing about native ads is that they’re not obvious- because they don’t look like ads, and they don’t disturb the readers experience.

Programmatic Native Advertising
This is a form of native advertising that serves targeted ads to specific audiences in real time. It enables Advertisers optimize their ROI through a method known as Real Time Bidding (RTB).
How Does RTB work?
Whenever a reader visits a webpage page, a software known as Supply Side Platform (SSP) sends an ad request on behalf of the publisher of the webpage to multiple demand partners representing advertisers. These demand partners use a software called Demand Side Platform (DSP), which gathers metric data and sends an ad response. The SSP compares the responses and declares a winner for the bid. The winner’s ad is served to the reader.
