01. Omnichannel Inventory

Built for publishers of all shapes, sizes, and monetization models. SSP is a full inventory management platform for all cross-device digital traffic, from traditional desktop and mobile web, in-app, as well as emerging channels such as digital out of home.

SSP supports display, native, and limited video formats – with ongoing support for the innovative ad formats Yahoo makes available for our O&O such as Native Carousel and Moments.

More than just a single platform for publishers, SSP is also a single access point for all Yahoo’s integrated demand partners, limiting the need for publishers to work with individual point solutions for device or format-specific demand.

Current formats for 3P publishers include: Banners, Rectangles, Video & Static Interstitials, Rewarded Video, and Native.

Flexible Integrations

Beyond the Yahoo Ads SDK, Yahoo SSP offers a number of integrations with both server-side and client-side partners. From Google Ad Manager’s EBDA to Prebid to Mopub, we can easily bring our demand into the integration of your choice.
Our adapters for these partners are seamless, so any updates needed on the partner’s side, be that a new SDK deployment or update to privacy requirements, we’ll take care of it to ensure seamless monetization.
Best yet, the proprietary demand we bring through our DSP and native marketplace is baked into our bidder and SDK, so you can take full advantage of Yahoo’s unique demand no matter what type of integration.

02. Premium & Exclusive Demand

Having both sides of the stack means we understand the demand opportunity and how to optimize for our publishers. We know what type of inventory our buyers want, what advertisers perform well across verticals, and how to package supply for maximum CPMs and buyer ROI.

Combined with machine learning algorithms, world-class targeting thanks to our proprietary data, and dedicated optimization teams, we ensure optimal campaign performance for our advertiser and publisher partners. The numbers speak for themselves; big brands such as Coca Cola, Walmart, ESPN, General Mills, Disney, eBay, Kohls, and BMW have a seat on our DSP targeting supply directly on SSP.

03. Trusted Performance

Yahoo offers the most comprehensive solutions for combating fraud from pre-bid to post-serve and beyond. We do so by applying human review safeguards, combining market-leading proprietary and 3rd party technologies. We help publishers better sell their inventory by ensuring buyers have complete confidence by offering them a fraud guarantee.

Yahoo has a proprietary solution that scans for malware. We also have an internal network quality team that classifies and bans malicious creatives. We partner with The Media Trust to help identify issues, but we also accept certain flags from other trusted vendors if they are sent to us reporting malware.

And we also have TalonPro, our proprietary traffic protection solution, and integrations with third-parties like White Ops, Moat, and more to help filter out invalid traffic and measure viewability, to ensure we’re passing the safest inventory possible to our buyers.

Native has always been a core part of our O&O business on our native marketplace, with over 1.6B native ad impressions each day. This marks our launch of native on Yahoo SSP, bringing the technology and unique demand that powers our brands to our 3P publisher clients.
Media Budgets continue to shift to native, and this is a great opportunity for additional ad placements and incremental revenue for many of our existing publishers on both SSP and those migrating from Display MP. Yahoo already has over 1000 native publisher partners for monetization.
