Publishers are losing out in ad exchanges as Google and other platforms gain more control over inventory and drive prices down. Yieldbot creates a marketplace that allows advertisers to target real-time consumer intent on premium publisher sites, addressing publishers' need to maintain direct relationships with advertisers and monetize content better. By organizing inventory around what advertisers want and being transparent with data, publishers can form a "defense fleet" to compete in the new performance-driven media landscape.
