How to setup SDK Mediation in DFP


SDK mediation

Mobile SDK mediation allows you to send impressions from mobile apps to ad networks via an ad network's' own SDK.
The SDK mediation creative type in DFP allows publishers to specify an ordered list of ad networks to call. For each impression, the ad request goes to the ad networks in the specified order. If the current network times out or doesn't return an impression because of an error or an impression cannot be found, then the request moves on to the next network. This continues until the impression is filled, or the last network in the mediation chain is reached.
Here’s the list of support Ad Network partners : Link

For supported ad networks:

The developer team should integrate the following into the app:
  1. Include the ad network SDK and adapter - Link
  2. Include the Google Mobile Ads SDK - Link - Link
  3. Setup the network configurations:
    1. For iOS - Link
    2. For Android - Link
    3. For Windows - no support

For unsupported ad networks:

If you don’t find the ad network you want to mediate with in the list of certified networks, you can use custom events.
The Google Mobile Ads SDK includes a handler for custom events, so you can integrate non-certified ad networks by entering the Adapter Class Name in the DFP SDK Mediation Creative. You can also introduce callouts to other services, or trigger other behavior in your app as part of the mediation chain. Learn more in the developer documentation on custom events for Android and iOS.

Custom Events - Link

This guide is intended for publishers looking to use DFP Mediation to:
  • show ads from a network that is not directly supported in the DFP user interface
  • show a custom view instead of an ad
Custom events allow you to write a custom mediation adapter to place any view into your ad space. You can find the full source for this project on GitHub. There are 2 types of Custom Events that you can use:
  1. Banner Custom Events - Link
  2. Interstitial Custom Events - Link

What is Ads.txt?

What is ads.txt? It is an IAB-approved text file that aims to prevent unauthorized inventory sales. How does it work? Publishers drop a text file on their web servers that lists all of the companies that are authorized to sell the publishers’ inventory. Similarly, programmatic platforms also integrate ads.txt files to confirm which publishers’ inventory they are authorized to sell. This allows buyers to check the validity of the inventory they purchase. How can buyers use ads.txt to check who is authorized to sell? If an exchange and the pubs it represents each adopt ads.txt, bidders can check their tags for the presence of an ads.txt file to verify that the exchange and publisher have a legitimate connection to each other. Are there any other ways to check which sellers are authorized using ads.txt? Yes. Let’s say a buyer bought HuffPost inventory but was skeptical of the exchange the inventory came from. If HuffPost used ads.txt, the buyer could head to huffpost.com/ad...

Online Advertising using Banner Ads

Banner ads  are everywhere in the web. They can be of any size, form, intention and behavior. They can be irritating, funny, annoying and efficient: all depends on how you view them. One thing is certain that they are a part of multi million marketing games all around the world and they help generate income. Because of great competition  banner ads  nowadays must be very creative and interesting. The tendency currently is to make interactive banners where the users can also participate in some process and thus get engaged and, why not, follow the link the banner contains. Banners have two functions: Firstly they show some content, which in itself is an advertisement; secondly they can transfer the user to the desired destination, of course if the user clicks on the banner. And banners do want to be clicked. That’s why it was very customary for some banners in old times to contain a message like  Click me , or you can’t click me which thus psychologically ...
