From connecting your AI assistant directly to your account and one-click RTB partner setup, to cookieless retargeting, new ad formats, and richer Statistics, this year&amp;rsquo;s updates were shaped by your feedback and built to make the platform faster, smarter, and more profitable to run. Here&amp;rsquo;s a round-up of everything new across the platform for networks, advertisers and publishers, so you can head into the new year making the most of it.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>EXADS MCP Server: Manage your account with AI Assistants</title><link>https://www.exads.com/blog/exads-mcp-server/</link><pubDate>Wed, 07 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.exads.com/blog/exads-mcp-server/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;The EXADS MCP server connects AI assistants like Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor directly to the EXADS ad serving platform through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), so ad networks and publishers can ask questions in plain language and get instant statistics analysis of their impressions, ad zones, eCPM, campaign clicks, CTRs, copy a campaign to a new GEO, and revenue.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="what-it-is"&gt;What it is&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The EXADS MCP Server is a connector built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open standard that lets AI assistants work with external platforms in a secure and consistent way. It exposes the EXADS API to AI clients, so advertisers and publishers can query statistics, review their setup, and make changes without navigating the Admin Panel.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>EXADS Adds IXOPAY as a Second Payment Orchestrator</title><link>https://www.exads.com/blog/exads-adds-ixopay/</link><pubDate>Tue, 15 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.exads.com/blog/exads-adds-ixopay/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Early in 2026, we introduced &lt;a href="https://www.exads.com/blog/exads-now-integrates-with-celeris-to-simplify-card-payments/"&gt;Celeris&lt;/a&gt;, our first payment orchestration platform, and explained how orchestration brings every card provider under a single integration. We are now adding a second option: IXOPAY.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Having two orchestrators means EXADS clients are not tied to one platform. You can choose the one that best fits your markets, your acquirer relationships, and your commercial terms.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="what-this-means-for-exads-clients"&gt;What this means for EXADS clients&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As with Celeris, advertisers see one single card payment button, and payments are routed behind it according to the rules you define. If a provider is unavailable, your fallback routing takes over, so a single provider issue does not stop an advertiser from topping up.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>EXADS is attending TES Affiliate Conferences in Prague</title><link>https://www.exads.com/blog/exads-attending-tes-prague/</link><pubDate>Mon, 10 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.exads.com/blog/exads-attending-tes-prague/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;We are excited to announce that EXADS will be attending the &lt;a href="https://tesaffiliateconferences.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;TES Affiliate Conference&lt;span class="visually-hidden"&gt; (opens in a new tab)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; from 25th - 28th September 2026.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Anyone who has run real-time bidding at scale knows the frustration: two partners look at the same traffic and report two different numbers. A buyer counts one set of impressions, the supply partner counts another, and the invoice sits somewhere in between. Some gaps are normal as every platform in the chain counts independently, with its own filters, but when the difference grows, it costs time, trust, and clean billing.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>AdSecure Integration in EXADS: Automated Security Scanning for Your Campaigns</title><link>https://www.exads.com/blog/adsecure-integration-in-exads-automated-security-scanning-for-your-campaigns/</link><pubDate>Mon, 22 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.exads.com/blog/adsecure-integration-in-exads-automated-security-scanning-for-your-campaigns/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;A new EXADS integration with &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.adsecure.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;AdSecure&lt;span class="visually-hidden"&gt; (opens in a new tab)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; lets you scan advertiser campaigns for security and quality violations, and automatically take action when something&amp;rsquo;s off.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="whats-new"&gt;What&amp;rsquo;s new&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We&amp;rsquo;ve released a fully revamped &lt;strong&gt;AdSecure integration&lt;/strong&gt; in EXADS.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;AdSecure is an automated ad verification and malvertising prevention platform built specifically for ad networks, ad platforms, publishers and advertisers. Using crawler technology, AdSecure scans in real-time the entire ad campaign chain: ad creatives, landing pages and redirects for malvertising, malware, phishing, ad fraud, hidden obfuscated code, IAB non-compliance, inappropriate content, and a long list of other ad-quality issues. AdSecure’s scans simulate activity over a wide range of devices and GEOs and once a violation is detected the client is notified where the offending ad campaign is running and what violations it is causing, so that it can be instantly removed. AdSecure not only protects online businesses from displaying malicious or poor quality advertising, but also protects end users from being exposed to potential cyber criminal activity through malicious advertising.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>How to Use EXADS as a DSP: A Complete Guide to White-Label Demand-Side Platform Technology</title><link>https://www.exads.com/blog/how-to-use-exads-as-a-dsp/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.exads.com/blog/how-to-use-exads-as-a-dsp/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Whether you&amp;rsquo;re launching a new DSP business or migrating to a better ad serving solution, this guide explains how white-label ad server EXADS gives you everything you need to run a fully branded, scalable demand-side platform.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="what-is-a-dsp"&gt;What is a DSP?&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A Demand-Side Platform (DSP) is the technology that allows advertisers to purchase ad inventory in real time from multiple connected traffic sources — publishers, ad exchanges, ad networks, and Supply-Side Platforms (SSPs). DSPs give advertisers access to large volumes of ad inventory through real-time bidding (RTB), combined with full campaign management and data reporting capabilities.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>What are Dynamic Contextual Ads?</title><link>https://www.exads.com/blog/what-are-dynamic-contextual-ads/</link><pubDate>Tue, 31 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.exads.com/blog/what-are-dynamic-contextual-ads/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Did you know that you can offer Dynamic Contextual Ads to your Advertiser and Publisher clients, when using EXADS white-label ad serving platform? Let’s take a deeper look into what are Dynamic Contextual Ads? How they work and what benefits they bring to both your Advertiser and Publisher clients.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Problem: The Multi-Campaign Bottleneck\&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To target ads contextually and end users, traditionally, Advertisers need to create several different campaigns; each campaign would need specific ad creatives, CTAs, and landing pages to match a creative to a specific keyword or category. This requires creating dozens of individual campaigns. Leading to:&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Custom Key Value Pairs for Precision-Level Ad Relevance</title><link>https://www.exads.com/blog/custom-key-value-pairs-for-precision-level-ad-relevance/</link><pubDate>Mon, 02 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.exads.com/blog/custom-key-value-pairs-for-precision-level-ad-relevance/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;EXADS’ Custom Key Value Pairs feature enables ad networks, publishers, and advertisers to activate their own first-party data directly within the ad server.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While EXADS already provides powerful standard targeting options — including Ad Zones, Browser, Contextual, Time Scheduling, Device, GEO, Keyword, Mobile Carrier, Operating System, Domain, IP, and Behavioral Retargeting — Enterprise clients can unlock even greater precision with Custom Key Value Pairs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This feature allows additional user or contextual data to be passed with each ad request, enabling advanced targeting, enhanced reporting, and landing page tokens.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Custom Ad Experiences: EXADS’ Ad Placement API</title><link>https://www.exads.com/blog/custom-ad-experiences-exads-ad-placement-api/</link><pubDate>Thu, 26 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.exads.com/blog/custom-ad-experiences-exads-ad-placement-api/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;EXADS’ Ad Placement API is a powerful solution that redefines how publishers manage and optimize ad delivery.

&lt;p&gt;CTV is projected to surpass traditional linear TV spending &lt;a href="https://research.mountain.com/trends/u-s-ctv-ad-spend-will-surpass-linear-tv-in-2028/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;by 2028.&lt;span class="visually-hidden"&gt; (opens in a new tab)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Interactive Innovation:&lt;/strong&gt; Traditional 30-second spots are evolving into shoppable ads, gamified content, and 3D tours, turning living rooms into digital storefronts.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The &amp;ldquo;Second-Screen&amp;rdquo; Opportunity:&lt;/strong&gt; A third of viewers research brands on their phones right after seeing a CTV ad. Implementing QR codes and retargeting strategies can increase conversions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Data-Driven Precision:&lt;/strong&gt; EXADS enables hyper-local and device-specific targeting, such as targeting only iPhone users, leading to higher conversion rates.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>EXADS Now Integrates with Celeris to Simplify Card Payments</title><link>https://www.exads.com/blog/exads-now-integrates-with-celeris-to-simplify-card-payments/</link><pubDate>Wed, 28 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.exads.com/blog/exads-now-integrates-with-celeris-to-simplify-card-payments/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;We’re excited to announce that EXADS integrates with Celeris, a leading payment orchestration platform that simplifies card payments for EXADS clients and their advertisers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This integration makes card payment management more flexible, scalable, and efficient across multiple payment providers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="what-is-celeris-payment-orchestration"&gt;What Is Celeris Payment Orchestration?&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Celeris is a payment orchestrator that sits between your platform and multiple card payment providers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Instead of relying on a single processor or managing multiple integrations, Celeris brings all supported card providers under one umbrella, with one single card payment button for your advertisers.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>API based ad server vs. Hosted ad server: Choosing the right solution for ad operations</title><link>https://www.exads.com/blog/api-based-ad-server-vs-hosted-ad-server-choosing-the-right-solution-for-ad-operations/</link><pubDate>Wed, 12 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.exads.com/blog/api-based-ad-server-vs-hosted-ad-server-choosing-the-right-solution-for-ad-operations/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Choosing the right ad serving infrastructure can define how efficiently your campaigns are managed, measured, and scaled. Two common options lead the discussion: API based ad servers and hosted ad servers. While both serve ads and manage campaigns, they differ in flexibility, control, scalability, and technical complexity. Here’s how they compare—and how to decide which fits your business best.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="what-is-a-hosted-ad-server"&gt;What is a Hosted Ad Server?&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A hosted ad server (or managed/SaaS ad server) is a third-party platform that handles all the backend infrastructure, updates, and maintenance. Users log into a dashboard to upload creatives, set targeting, manage campaigns, and track performance.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>The Future of CTV Advertising on Mobile</title><link>https://www.exads.com/blog/the-future-of-ctv-advertising-on-mobile/</link><pubDate>Fri, 30 May 2025 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.exads.com/blog/the-future-of-ctv-advertising-on-mobile/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;There is no doubt that Connected TV (CTV) is a key growth area within the video advertising landscape.

Will this Manifest help Advertiser ads beat Ad Blockers? Could we witness one of the biggest growth rates in digital advertising? After a buildup of over 6 years, Google’s Manifest V3 was rolled out this past June 3rd 2024, considerably weakening Chrome ad blocker extensions and leaving the door open for Ad Tech.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The move, first announced in 2018, came under a lot of scrutiny due to what could be considered a conflict of interests. Google, a tech giant whose main revenue comes from advertising, has been making significant changes to their web browser that will have a direct impact on the ability of ad blockers to function as effectively and freely, adding restrictions to these and all Chrome extensions.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Ad Refresh Q1 review: Innovation in ad viewability</title><link>https://www.exads.com/blog/ad-refresh-q1-review-innovation-in-ad-viewability/</link><pubDate>Mon, 27 May 2024 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.exads.com/blog/ad-refresh-q1-review-innovation-in-ad-viewability/</guid><description>&lt;h2 id="table-of-contents"&gt;Table of Contents:&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;h2 id="introduction-strike-the-right-balance-of-website-content-versus-advertising"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Introduction: Strike t&lt;/strong&gt;he right balance of website content versus advertising&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;EXADS is a white-label ad serving technology provider. Our self-service display advertising platform helps ad networks, publishers, and advertisers achieve their advertising goals. Innovation in ad tech is constantly changing and it&amp;rsquo;s a fine balance between Publishers monetizing their content with ads while ensuring a great end user ad experience. A website’s end user should be able to enjoy its content without being bombarded with ads, finding the right balance for the number of ad zones on a website&amp;rsquo;s pages is key. If an end user sees too many ads, then they are unlikely to stay for long on the website, or never visit the website again. A website that has engaging content and the right amount of ads will have long term users who keep coming back to view its content. These types of end users are considered quality end users, and in turn this equates to the website site having quality traffic sources. Quality traffic sources are the most desired target market by Advertisers. This is because, if the website has just a few ad zones on each webpage, the advertiser’s ad has more visibility because it is not competing with many other ads from advertisers. Additionally, less ads per page ensures a great ad viewing experience for end users and they can click on ads that are relevant to their needs.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>The Ultimate Guide to Header Bidding and Prebid.js</title><link>https://www.exads.com/blog/the-ultimate-guide-to-header-bidding-and-prebidjs/</link><pubDate>Fri, 17 May 2024 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.exads.com/blog/the-ultimate-guide-to-header-bidding-and-prebidjs/</guid><description>&lt;h2 id="table-of-contents"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Table of contents&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Have you ever asked yourself &amp;lsquo;why do I need an Ad Server to make my online advertising business thrive?&amp;rsquo;, we answer your question in this article. But first, let&amp;rsquo;s get the basics sorted: What is Ad Serving? Ad Serving refers to the tech process that uses software to place online ads on Publisher platforms, like websites, social media, mobile apps, or video streaming platforms. The process happens in milliseconds: When an end user visits a site or an app that has ad zones enabled, the browser sends an ad request to the Publisher’s Ad Server to fill in an ad placement, based on the rules that are defined by Advertisers and Publishers on the Ad Serving platform utilized, including targeting, ad format, bidding, etc. For instance, if a Publisher has a Native ad zone on his Gambling website, the Ad Serving platform that they are using selects a relevant Native ad from an Advertiser campaign that matches the audience’s interests within the Gambling vertical.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Contextual Targeting: The Cookieless Advertising alternative</title><link>https://www.exads.com/blog/contextual-targeting-the-cookieless-advertising-alternative/</link><pubDate>Thu, 18 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.exads.com/blog/contextual-targeting-the-cookieless-advertising-alternative/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.exads.com/features/advanced-targeting/"&gt;EXADS’ advanced and custom targeting capabilities&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; allow Advertisers to reach audiences with maximum precision through a wide spectrum of targeting options; including Browser, Time Schedule, Device, Location/GEO, Keyword, Mobile Carrier, Operating System, Behavioral, and Contextual.

&lt;h2 id="what-is-an-ad-server-and-how-does-it-work"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is an Ad Server and how does it work&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;An Ad Server is an online platform used for serving digital ads alongside content consumed by end users. The ads are shown to end users on Publisher platforms: websites, social media, mobile apps or video streaming platforms. With an Ad Server these Publishers can create ad zones on their platform and sell them to Advertisers, who will win the ad zone spot upon placing the highest bid. Therefore, the key role of Ad serving platforms is that they are needed by Publishers in order to monetize their content, Advertisers need the ad serving platform to be able to promote and sell their services via the Publisher’s audience. Therefore the ad serving platform is the middleman that can further monetize a network of Publisher and Advertiser clients.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>How to Monetize Online Gambling Platforms</title><link>https://www.exads.com/blog/how-to-monetize-online-gambling-platforms/</link><pubDate>Thu, 07 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.exads.com/blog/how-to-monetize-online-gambling-platforms/</guid><description>&lt;h2 id="table-of-contents"&gt;Table of Contents&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;On Saturday 17 February 2024, the European Union’s Digital Services Act comes into force for all Online Platforms. For Ad Networks, Mobile apps, Advertisers and Publishers, this relates specifically to &lt;a href="https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELEX:32022R2065&amp;amp;qid=1692301215242" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Article 26 – Online advertising transparency&lt;span class="visually-hidden"&gt; (opens in a new tab)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. The purpose of this law is to facilitate EU end users to be able to identify the Advertiser behind every ad that is shown on a website or within an app. For this purpose, the information will be extracted from data provided by your Advertisers in their admin panels.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>EXADS is Attending the TES Affiliate Conference 2024</title><link>https://www.exads.com/blog/exads-is-attending-the-tes-affiliate-conference-2024/</link><pubDate>Fri, 26 Jan 2024 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.exads.com/blog/exads-is-attending-the-tes-affiliate-conference-2024/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;We are excited to announce that EXADS will be attending &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://tesaffiliateconferences.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;TES Affiliate Conference 2024&lt;span class="visually-hidden"&gt; (opens in a new tab)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, where Publishers, Ad Networks, Media Buyers, Affiliates, Advertisers, &amp;amp; Content Creators meet.

&lt;p&gt;So, what is an Email ad server and how to monetize email lists? An Email ad server serves one type of advertising: Email Advertising. And, with over 4.3 billion email users worldwide in 2023, Email Advertising is a great business! &lt;a href="https://www.statista.com/topics/1446/e-mail-marketing/#topicOverview" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;According to Statista&lt;span class="visually-hidden"&gt; (opens in a new tab)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, in 2023, Email Advertising revenue was estimated at US$10.89 billion, and it is projected to reach **US$**12.33 billion by the end of 2024, with Email Advertising expected to be worth US$17.9 billion in 2027.There are many types of web-based businesses of different industries that choose to monetize their traffic based solely on Email Advertising. This form of advertising serves them as an additional source of income, to diversify their revenues and to grow into bigger brands. We are talking about websites and apps for E-commerce, Membership, Listings and Dating, as well as B2B and Lead Generation Companies.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Ad Refresh Publisher Case Study</title><link>https://www.exads.com/blog/ad-refresh-publisher-case-study/</link><pubDate>Thu, 11 Jan 2024 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.exads.com/blog/ad-refresh-publisher-case-study/</guid><description>&lt;h2 id="table-of-contents"&gt;Table of Contents:&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As we look ahead to what 2024 holds for the ad tech industry it is important to assess the present state of advertising. First of all, users are rejecting the tracking of their every move on all the digital platforms they use. Secondly, in 2023 the entire industry had to accept the fact that the deprecation of cookies is here and there is a huge emphasis on first-party data. Thirdly, the changing behaviors and attitudes of consumers have generated a great expectation for non-disruptive advertising and a lower tolerance for disruptive ads. At the same time, there is a need for better capabilities for measuring the return on investment in advertising. So how will all this be reflected in the ad tech trends for 2024?

&lt;p&gt;Real-Time Bidding, or RTB came to the scene before Open Real-Time Bidding, or ORTB was introduced. Its adoption changed the advertising industry and became one of the most important ways of buying and selling ads. One thing that was missing was a standard that could be used by everyone to make the whole process easier. RTB and ORTB complement each other and in this article, we try to explain how it all works. We will touch on some of the key points of both RTB and ORTB that will explain how they are revolutionizing the digital advertising industry.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Open Source Ad Server vs. Hosted Ad Server</title><link>https://www.exads.com/blog/open-source-ad-server-vs-hosted-ad-server/</link><pubDate>Thu, 16 Nov 2023 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.exads.com/blog/open-source-ad-server-vs-hosted-ad-server/</guid><description>&lt;h2 id="table-of-contents"&gt;Table of Contents&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Monetizing membership and subscription sites with ads can provide a substantial revenue stream for these businesses. Take for example communities or forum sites, educational sites, fintech platforms, dating, gambling, or any other vertical or niche. These sites already have a vast amount of data on their users, spanning from demographic profiles to interests and behaviors. By monetizing their data, membership and subscription sites can easily deliver personalized advertising experiences to their users. This major advantage makes them the perfect channel for brands that want to target specific audiences.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Monetizing Dating Websites and Apps</title><link>https://www.exads.com/blog/monetizing-dating-websites-and-apps/</link><pubDate>Thu, 19 Oct 2023 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.exads.com/blog/monetizing-dating-websites-and-apps/</guid><description>&lt;h2 id="table-of-contents"&gt;Table of Contents&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;h2 id="introduction"&gt;Introduction&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Responsive Display Ads are used by 84% of businesses as of 2023, as shown in &lt;a href="https://www.demandsage.com/google-ads-statistics/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Google Ads statistics&lt;img class="prose-image" src="https://www.exads.com/images/blog/ad-serving-benefits-of-multi-format-ads/image-1.svg" alt="ext link" loading="lazy" decoding="async"&gt;&lt;span class="visually-hidden"&gt; (opens in a new tab)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. This format has grown in popularity due to the fact that it reduces the number of creatives required for the different types and sizes of banner ads. RDAs, as they are commonly known, help to save time and resources, but also allow advertisers to combine text and images for higher-impact display campaigns. At EXADS we offer both Responsive Display Ads and Multi-Format Ads, giving our clients two performant tools that are required in a competitive market. In our previous blog post, we looked at the &lt;a href="https://www.exads.com/blog/ad-serving-benefits-of-multi-format-ads/"&gt;benefits of multi-format ads&lt;/a&gt;, so now, let’s take a look at the various benefits of Responsive Display Ads.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Ad serving benefits of Multi-Format Ads</title><link>https://www.exads.com/blog/ad-serving-benefits-of-multi-format-ads/</link><pubDate>Thu, 06 Apr 2023 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.exads.com/blog/ad-serving-benefits-of-multi-format-ads/</guid><description>&lt;h2 id="table-of-contents"&gt;Table of contents:&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;According to &lt;a href="https://www.statista.com/outlook/dmo/digital-advertising/banner-advertising/worldwide" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Statista!&lt;span class="visually-hidden"&gt; (opens in a new tab)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, banner display advertising ad spending is projected to reach US$161.84bn in 2023 and US$207.02bn by 2027.

EXADS offers a blend of both these ad formats in the form of Multi-Format Ads and &lt;a href="https://www.exads.com/blog/ad-serving-benefits-of-responsive-display-ads/"&gt;Responsive Display Ads&lt;/a&gt;.

In this Ad Refresh case study, we will showcase how your publishers can optimize their ad revenues by using the feature currently available on Banner ad zones, including RDAs (Responsive Display Ads).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;By enabling Ad Refresh, your publishers can serve several ads within one ad zone, per user session, maximizing their audience’s engagement with their website’s content. As our case study will show, this will enable your publishers to increase their viewable impressions as well as the long-term value of their ad zones. Furthermore, it will give advertisers more ad inventory to access, and thus the ad platform will benefit from an increase in auction numbers.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>How to use VAST, VPAID, VMAP and VAST Waterfall</title><link>https://www.exads.com/blog/how-to-use-vast-vpaid-vmap-and-vast-waterfall/</link><pubDate>Thu, 30 Mar 2023 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.exads.com/blog/how-to-use-vast-vpaid-vmap-and-vast-waterfall/</guid><description>&lt;h2 id="table-of-contents"&gt;Table of contents:&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;h2 id="what-are-video-ad-standards"&gt;What are video ad standards?&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Video ad standards are important for the advertising industry, as a way to standardize communication between different ad delivery systems. The Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) defines different standards for video ads to ensure that the ads are displayed correctly and that all stakeholders can interpret the data accurately. In this article we will present the different video ad standards based on VAST, a standard that defines the delivery of Linear and Non Linear ads to a video player. We will be looking at VPAID, used for rich-media ads, at VMAP, as a way of adding timing data to ads, and also at VAST waterfall, which defines the ways a video player may handle fallback ads.

&lt;p&gt;Programmatic advertising has changed the game of digital advertising, and helped both advertisers and publishers diversify and grow. It is an advertising method that yields great results and has proven to be targeted, scalable and efficient. In a previous blog post, we looked at the &lt;a href="https://www.exads.com/blog/dsp-the-programmatic-solution-for-advertisers/"&gt;Demand Side Platform (DSP)&lt;/a&gt; as the &lt;a href="https://www.exads.com/blog/programmatic-advertising-why-and-how-should-you-use-it/"&gt;programmatic advertising&lt;/a&gt; platform available to Advertisers to increase their reach and revenues. Publishers in turn, can use a Supply Side Platform (SSP). So what is an SSP, how does it work, and how does it benefit Publishers?

So in this post we show you an advertising case study example. The advertising campaign case study demonstrates how both these features work together. The Bidder gives advertisers full control of their bidding optimization to block underperforming ad zones while ensuring that campaign bids are kept within the advertisers KPIs and budgets are not burned on non performing ad zones. Secondly, the Conversion Tracking feature gives advertisers real time data in order to see if the campaign is making a profit, break even or loss, in order for advertisers to make real time optimization decisions to generate a positive Return On Investment (ROI).&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Demand Side Platform - Programmatic Solution for Advertisers</title><link>https://www.exads.com/blog/dsp-the-programmatic-solution-for-advertisers/</link><pubDate>Tue, 01 Nov 2022 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.exads.com/blog/dsp-the-programmatic-solution-for-advertisers/</guid><description>&lt;h2 id="table-of-contents"&gt;Table of contents:&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Programmatic advertising offers a lot of benefits so it is no surprise that it has become an integral part of marketing strategies. Demand Side Platforms (DSP) and &lt;a href="https://www.exads.com/blog/supply-side-platform-ssp-explained/"&gt;Supply Side Platforms (SSP)&lt;/a&gt;, are the two programmatic solutions available for Advertisers and Publishers. Together, these technologies provide the opportunity of reaching wider audiences, maximizing ad spaces and offering all the benefits of automation. &lt;a href="https://www.exads.com/blog/programmatic-advertising-why-and-how-should-you-use-it/"&gt;Programmatic advertising&lt;/a&gt; allows brands to optimize their advertising spend while maximizing the publisher’s revenue from ad space.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>EXADS Q4 2022 Product Roadmap</title><link>https://www.exads.com/blog/exads-q4-2022-product-roadmap/</link><pubDate>Tue, 25 Oct 2022 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.exads.com/blog/exads-q4-2022-product-roadmap/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;We’re looking to close out the year with some whopper new features here at EXADS.

&lt;h3 id="keyvalue-custom-targeting"&gt;Key/Value Custom Targeting&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This feature will allow advertisers to target their campaigns based on custom values assigned and passed through by Publishers on Ad Zones. The custom key value pairings themselves will be defined by the Ad Server Administrator. These keys and associated values can be static, dynamic or based on a numeric value range. From there Publishers will have the ability to assign values to these custom keys for Advertisers to target. Advertisers will also have the ability to use these values as custom tokens on landing pages. In addition we will build new reporting whereby each custom targeting key will feature as a dimension in Statistics and for reporting based on all our existing metrics today.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Choosing a Video Ad Server Built for Performance</title><link>https://www.exads.com/blog/choosing-a-video-ad-server-built-for-performance/</link><pubDate>Thu, 13 Oct 2022 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.exads.com/blog/choosing-a-video-ad-server-built-for-performance/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;A Video ad server solely serves Video advertising formats.

Publishers can do this either through an ad network that acts as an intermediary between the publisher and advertisers, or directly. Regardless of the way in which publishers sell their sites and ad zones, convenient financial management tools are key when monetizing traffic. Publishers, same as any other provider, want to be paid in a safe and timely manner.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Discover EXADS and AdSecure’s ad compliance integration at DMEXCO</title><link>https://www.exads.com/blog/discover-exads-and-adsecures-ad-compliance-integration-at-dmexco/</link><pubDate>Thu, 15 Sep 2022 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.exads.com/blog/discover-exads-and-adsecures-ad-compliance-integration-at-dmexco/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;At EXADS we realize that malvertising, the &lt;a href="https://www.exads.com/blog/why-you-need-compliance/"&gt;lack of ad compliance&lt;/a&gt; and bad quality ads are highly damaging for ad serving platforms and this is why we have taken measures to prevent this from happening to our clients. To get a better understanding of how platforms and the end users can be affected, we look at two possible scenarios:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the first scenario, we consider an ad network, serving ads to their publisher network, without checking the ad campaign and landing page URLs before or after launch. Behind this campaign, we have a malicious advertiser who injected a code into the campaign, once he wins the bids for the publisher ad zones. Oblivious of this, the ad network allows the campaign to run. An end user clicks on the ad and is immediately served a pop up telling them their device is infected with viruses and locks access to the end user’s files on the device. The end user is asked for money in exchange for unlocking their device. This is called &lt;a href="https://www.adsecure.com/blog/what-is-scareware/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Scareware&lt;span class="visually-hidden"&gt; (opens in a new tab)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; or Ransomware.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Real Time Event Processing at Massive Scale</title><link>https://www.exads.com/blog/real-time-event-processing-at-massive-scale/</link><pubDate>Fri, 09 Sep 2022 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.exads.com/blog/real-time-event-processing-at-massive-scale/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;At EXADS, real time events are an important data source for our SaaS platform. Every impression, click, action, bid, etc. has to be tracked and stored appropriately. Building a system that is capable of handling tens of billions of such events daily is not a trivial task.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Events generated by our systems have to be processed and transported to different databases to help us with the following main use cases:&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>EXADS is exhibiting at DMEXCO</title><link>https://www.exads.com/blog/exads-is-exhibiting-at-dmexco/</link><pubDate>Thu, 01 Sep 2022 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.exads.com/blog/exads-is-exhibiting-at-dmexco/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;We are excited to announce that EXADS will be attending &lt;a href="https://dmexco.com/expo/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;DMEXCO&lt;span class="visually-hidden"&gt; (opens in a new tab)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, Europe’s leading digital marketing &amp;amp; tech event, in Cologne, Germany on September 21- 22!&lt;/p&gt;

However, manually checking the compliance of every ad, image and campaign can be daunting, especially when dealing with hundreds or thousands of campaigns.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is why EXADS, through its integration with &lt;strong&gt;AdSecure&lt;/strong&gt;, can ensure that your ad campaigns are aligned with the standards set by the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://iabeurope.eu/about-us/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Interactive Advertising Bureau&lt;span class="visually-hidden"&gt; (opens in a new tab)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;(IAB)&lt;/strong&gt;, the advertising business organization that develops industry standards, guidelines and best practices for digital ads; the &lt;a href="https://www.betterads.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Coalition for Better Ads&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span class="visually-hidden"&gt; (opens in a new tab)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;; and Google, which owns the world&amp;rsquo;s biggest ad browser, Chrome, with a market share of 65.27% as of 2021.

With Chrome having a &lt;a href="https://gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;64.5% market share globally&lt;span class="visually-hidden"&gt; (opens in a new tab)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; (data up to March 2022), the stakes involved in such a move are very high.

&lt;p&gt;As an ad network the goal of Compliance is to ensure that your Publisher network is of high quality so that your Advertiser network can get a good ROI for their offers. You also need to protect your valuable Publisher network from non compliant ads and malvertising. Without this protection it creates a bad ad experience for Publisher site visitors and possible exposure to exploitation from cyber criminals for end users. So the role of Compliance is to police your ad network, now let’s look at this in more detail.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Web Caching for EXADS JavaScript Snippets</title><link>https://www.exads.com/blog/web-caching-for-exads-javascript-snippets/</link><pubDate>Thu, 24 Feb 2022 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.exads.com/blog/web-caching-for-exads-javascript-snippets/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;EXADS has multiple JavaScript libraries for rendering Ads on a publisher’s website.

This means that any company wanting to have an Ad Serving platform can use EXADS SaaS as their technology. The beauty of using EXADS SaaS is that it is also a White Label Ad Server. This means that a company can brand the UI of the Ad Serving platform with their own logo, brand colors with primary, secondary and tertiary colors for UI buttons, labels, charts and texts. This also includes their own unique domain for ad serving. All of this allows the company to then market the Ad Server as though it was their own technology.

&lt;h2 id="what-is-an-ad-server"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is an Ad Server?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In basic terms an ad server is the technology platform used for serving ads to online media, be it websites, social media, apps or video platforms, known as Publishers. Ad servers allows Publishers to create ad zones within their content which are then sold via the ad serving platform to Advertisers who bid for the ad zone, the highest bidder wins the ad zone. Ad serving platforms are used by individual Publishers who want to monetize their content with various ad zones, Advertisers, who want to promote and sell products to end users viewing the publisher site and Ad Networks who want to act as the ‘middlemen’ by monetizing a network of Publisher and Advertiser clients.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>EXADS Q1 2022 Product Roadmap</title><link>https://www.exads.com/blog/exads-q1-2022-product-roadmap/</link><pubDate>Thu, 20 Jan 2022 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.exads.com/blog/exads-q1-2022-product-roadmap/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;We’re starting out the new year of 2022 with yet more awesome features to deliver to our clients.

That’s why we added many options for customizing your Native ad zones, so you can control everything from the image to the font size, color, branding, and many other things.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In this article, we will look at a few things you might want to consider as a Publisher when setting up your Native ad zones.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Multi-Format Ad Zones</title><link>https://www.exads.com/blog/multi-format-ad-zones/</link><pubDate>Thu, 13 May 2021 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.exads.com/blog/multi-format-ad-zones/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Every time an Advertiser or Publisher chooses a format for a campaign or an ad zone, they are making a strategic decision that affects their business. For Publishers, when they choose to put a certain format in one of their ad zones, they are essentially closing that ad zone to any other formats of ad that might show on it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But what if it was possible to set up an ad zone that was open to displaying several different formats of ad? This would mean that the ad zone could be available for more campaigns, increase its chances of monetization, and make it more likely that there will always be a relevant ad to display in it.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Using Asynchronous Tags</title><link>https://www.exads.com/blog/using-asynchronous-tags/</link><pubDate>Mon, 26 Apr 2021 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.exads.com/blog/using-asynchronous-tags/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;EXADS has added the ability for Publishers to use Asynchronous Tags for desktop and mobile banners ad zones. When creating either of these zone types, Publishers can use these tags to ensure that zones are loaded onto the page asynchronously.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img class="prose-image" style="max-width: 1333px" src="https://www.exads.com/images/blog/using-asynchronous-tags/image-1_hu_1496b17e45bafae9.webp" srcset="https://www.exads.com/images/blog/using-asynchronous-tags/image-1_hu_98824e5b060e338e.webp 480w, https://www.exads.com/images/blog/using-asynchronous-tags/image-1_hu_801229789c8302b7.webp 736w, https://www.exads.com/images/blog/using-asynchronous-tags/image-1_hu_1496b17e45bafae9.webp 1100w, https://www.exads.com/images/blog/using-asynchronous-tags/image-1_hu_4d80cbbc9443dcc0.webp 1472w, https://www.exads.com/images/blog/using-asynchronous-tags/image-1_hu_46a3299b45afa99a.webp 1999w" sizes="(min-width: 800px) 736px, 100vw" width="1999" height="937" alt="null" loading="lazy" decoding="async"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="why-use-asynchronous-tags"&gt;Why Use Asynchronous Tags?&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The ads can load asynchronously, meaning that other content can load alongside the ads. This will increase performance when used on well-optimized sites.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Publishers can now use a single request to get multiple ad zones on the same page. This is more efficient and will lead to a performance increase also.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;This script avoids using some outdated JavaScript features which many developers are moving away from.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As a Publisher, you can of course continue to use the two older scripts we provide: Standard and iFrame. Currently, some Publishers use the iFrame to ensure their page never gets blocked from loading. They can continue to use it, but this new script has the same advantages, only with increased performance and ease of use. Google rankings of sites are partially based on performance, so the performance increase can result in improved Google rankings also.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>The Post-Cookie Era</title><link>https://www.exads.com/blog/the-post-cookies-era/</link><pubDate>Fri, 26 Mar 2021 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.exads.com/blog/the-post-cookies-era/</guid><description>&lt;h2 id="background"&gt;Background&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There is a lot of discussion in the ad tech industry at the moment about ‘The Post-Cookie Era’, and the effect this will have on the digital advertising world. Broadly speaking, when we talk about the Post-Cookie Era, we are referring to the fact that Google Chrome will soon start blocking third-party cookies.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At the moment, Firefox and Safari are already doing this, but Google Chrome is by far the biggest browser in the world, accounting for over 60% of all impressions. This means that once Google Chrome blocks them too, the era of third-party cookies will be over.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Outstream Video</title><link>https://www.exads.com/blog/outstream-video/</link><pubDate>Fri, 29 Jan 2021 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.exads.com/blog/outstream-video/</guid><description>&lt;h2 id="increasing-use-of-video"&gt;Increasing Use of Video&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The use of video advertising has been growing in recent years. At EXADS, by Q1 2020, we saw a 221% increase in video impressions over Q1 2019. By Q1 2021, this had grown to a 641% increase. And as we move further into 2021, video continues to grow in importance and this trend will likely continue.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Video is a great format for connecting impactfully with users, and it has increased along with the rise in mobile device use. Mobile is now the most common way that users view online advertising, and this has been good news for video formats: The nature of mobile screens makes users more likely to engage with video content over text-heavy material, and as a result, mobile has been one of the drivers of the growth in video advertising.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>COVID's Effect on Ad Tech</title><link>https://www.exads.com/blog/covids-effect-on-ad-tech/</link><pubDate>Fri, 01 Jan 2021 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.exads.com/blog/covids-effect-on-ad-tech/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;The COVID-19 pandemic has been an unusual time for everyone, changing almost everything about how we live, work, shop, and spend our free time. For as long as it lasts, it will be probably the fastest and most profound change in human behavior in living memory. It has of course affected the ad tech industry as it has many others. Some of these changes will no doubt prove to be temporary, but some are trends that were happening anyway, that have been accelerated by the pandemic.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
