Common Bidder Workflows        Scenario A

 

    DSP  provides  their  clients  (ATD:  agency  /  trading  desks)  with  a  self­service  console  to  discover  and  accept  AdX  Deals (1).  These DSPs integrate  directly  with  the  AdX  Marketplace  (2)  to  gather  all  related  data  included  Deal  IDs into  their  console.  The DSP’s  console  then  informs  their  bidder of  Deal  IDs  (3) to  identify and bid against on AdX (4, 5).               

  Scenario B 

      DSP  allows  their  clients  (ATD:  agency  /  trading  desks)  to  set   up  deals  directly  within  the  AdX  console  (1)  using  the  clients’  own  accounts  (a.k.a.  Child  Seats).   The  AdX  console  generates  Deal  IDs  (2),  which  are  then  manually   communicated  to  the  DSP (3a) and configured into the DSP’s console (3b).  Alternatively,  the  DSP’s  client  may   configure  the  Deal  IDs  directly  into  the  DSP’s  console  (3c).  The  DSP’s  console  then  informs   their   bidder of  Deal  IDs  (4) to identify and bid against on AdX (5, 6).

Why would a deal have “no bids”?    Reason 

Why it happens 

How to prevent 

Intentionally not  bidding on the deal   

Buyer has no matched campaign for the deal  e.g. no current demand for an Always­On  deals, campaign is delayed or cancelled,  campaign budget/terms has been changed 

Set clear expectations prior to  striking deals  Establish frequent  communications and checkpoints 

Campaign trafficking  issues or limitations 

Campaign, line item, or creative not enabled  within the buyer’s system (outside AdX)    Campaign deliver dry is limited by frequency  capping, pacing, or other optimization goals    Insufficient budget (e.g. buyer used up  budget from other inventory source faster  than they expect) 

Set clear expectations prior to  striking deals    Ensure publisher has enough  relevant inventory    Establish frequent  communications and checkpoints 

Integration issue 

Bidder is not aware of the deal / deal ID    Bidder not looking at the Block Override  signal in the Bid Request and current  campaign bids are being filtered due to  publisher blocks 

Buy­side parties ensure deal IDs  are being passed to the bidder    Bidder updates program to inject  block override signal    Publisher enables block override  feature  

Publisher / Inventory  issue 

Publisher has not verified its URLs, causing  an empty URL field in bid requests    Low inventory volume results in minimal  matched users and related campaigns  require targeting only to known users    Publisher is blocking related campaign and  does not have Block Override enabled 

Publisher ensures all URLs are  verified by AdX    Publisher allocates enough  inventory for the deal and sets  the right expectations with  buyers    Publisher enables block override

Non-Transacting Deals Due to No Bids: A comprehensive guide on this common deal issue

How to resolve a “Deal with no bids” case  Since AdX has no visibility nor control over campaigns and inventory settings, “Deal with no bids” cases can only  be resolved directly by the bidder and buyer, and in some cases by the publishers.  Direct communication  between the bidder, buyer, and publisher are critical in order to run a deal successfully.  Below are some useful  guidelines for each party when it comes to resolving these issues. 

  Guidelines for Buyers  ● ● ● ●



Guidelines for Publishers 

If applicable, confirm the Deal ID with your  bidder (DSP/Ad Networks)  Ensure your campaign is up and running  Ensure you have enough budget for the deal  Consult the publisher about the inventory ­  ensure it has enough volume and the  inventory matches with your targeting criteria   Consider relaxing your frequency cap and/or  pacing restrictions 

Guidelines for Bidder  ● ● ●

Confirm the Deal ID with your buyer ­ ensure  the Deal ID is in your bidding console  Ensure the creative is active in your system  and is approved to serve in AdX  Pull sample bid request for the deal from your  logs and compare the data with the  restrictions in your bidder (e.g. presence of  URL, publisher exclusions, ec.) 

● ● ● ●

Ensure you are sending ad requests and the  buyer is receiving bid requests from you  through AdX using Deal Check  Consider turning block override on to remove  potential blocks.  ​ Note: some buyers will not  bid if their ads are part of the publisher blocks  Ensure all of your domains are verified  Reach out to your buyer contact and confirm  the following:  ○ they have set up this deal on their side  (in their bidder’s UI) and are bidding  with the correct deal ID  ○ their campaign is active and has  enough budget  ○ flight dates are correct in the buyer and  bidder consoles (outside AdX)  ○ their targeting criteria matches with  your inventory for this deal
