The third-party ad server called
advertiser-side-server is used by advertisers to
run ad campaigns. Besides hosting and serving
ads, third-party ad servers enable you to manage
and optimize advertising campaigns and get
detailed reports on ad-serving activities. An ad
server is where advertisers upload and track ads
as it goes live. It is the base of the ad-serving
process. The third party in the name means that
the owner of this server doesnt have direct
access to the ad-serving process and provides
creatives. How does a third-party ad server
work?When visitors visit a website, they see
content on the site. The ads that they see on
that site come from another server. Every website
has ad inventory slots. Once the visitors visit
the site, the website calls up the ad creative
from an ad server. As these ads get displayed on
the website or app for the users to see, the ad
server starts tracking clicks, taps, and
engagement the ads receive. It then displays it
in an easy-to-read reporting dashboard. Ad server
also tracks the two most important metrics called
viewability of ads and dwell time.
