In today’s digital marketing world, the success of advertising campaigns depends heavily on speed and precision.
Real-Time Bidding (RTB) is a technology that allows advertisers to purchase ad impressions through real-time auctions.
At RiverTraffic, we use our own RTB system to provide partners with premium traffic, transparent analytics, and maximum return on investment.

In this article, we’ll explain what RTB is and how our system works.

What Is a Real-Time Bidding (RTB) System?

Real-Time Bidding is an automated system for purchasing ad impressions through instant auctions.
When a user visits a website or a mobile app, the available ad space is put up for bidding. Several advertisers simultaneously place their bids in real time, and the ad with the highest and best-matching bid is shown to the user.

How RTB works in practice:

1. A user opens a webpage or an app.

2. The platform sends a bid request to an auction.

3. Advertisers automatically evaluate the user based on different parameters (geo, device, behavior, etc.).

4. Bids are placed in real time.

5. The winning ad is instantly displayed to the user.

The entire process takes just a few hundred milliseconds!
