Understanding the Mobile Advertising Ecosystem
•Display Side Platform (DSP): Ultimate customer is
the marketer/advertiser. Their job is to find the
most efficient impressions possible given the
constraints the marketer has provided them.
While folks don't like using the word "cheap", the
DSP is trying to find the best ROAS for an
advertiser and one of the main factors driving
ROAS is the cost of the impression.
•Supply Side Platform (SSP): Ultimate customer is
the publisher. Their job is to sell the impressions
for as much as possible. Hence, they're trying to
sell the impressions for as much as possible for
their publisher partners/customers.

Tips & Tricks for Math Nerds
Learn about:
– Bayesian “Bandit” Testing
– Binomial Confidence Intervals
Use min. & max. viable conversion rate
– Conv. Rate you need to make the campaign profitable
based on click costs, payout on a conversion and target ROI
• Example:
– CPM $20
– Payout of $5
– Min ROI of 100%
– Min. Viable Conversion Rate = .08%
– Min (ROI/100+1)*CPM/(Payout*10)
