Google as a renderer - How Google ad sources are treated in Display compared to Video.

...

Important Notes:

  1. To add Google display demand in the Aniview platform: - How to include Google demand in Display Standalone and Multiformat setups.

Google as renderer

  1. In Display, Google is used both as a demand source and a renderer when it is included in the waterfall.

    1. *When it is not included in the waterfall, or an error prevents it from rendering, Aniview steps in as the renderer.

  2. How the process works: When Google is the renderer, it means that every impression is being run through Google before it reaches the ad placement, example of prebid+google auction cycle:

    1. Aniview calls the waterfall and receives google ad source + prebid ad sources.

    2. Aniview ad manager calls all the prebid ad sources on the client side.

    3. Aniview ad manager sends the winning prebid bid CPM as a key value in the Google ad request.

    4. Google runs an auction in GAM between all participating bidders, this may include ADX, prebid bid, OpenBidding, and any direct line items.

    5. The winning line item is selected and a creative is returned to the ad placement.

    6. Prebid impression is considered an Ad-Server impression while ADX impressions are considered As ADX impressions.

  3. Note: Considering the above, every non-ADX impression is charged with a fee (by GAM, Aniview must create standard assets in your GAM account.
    (Advertiser, Orders, Line Items, Creatives, Key Values).

  4. Google ad sources can be used once for every display placement.

  5. Auctions utilizing Google (ADX) demand and other demand source such as prebid, RTB, direct, etc, may incur a fee on GAM when rendering a non ADX impression.

Aniview asset setup on Google:

  1. If you don’t have an API connection - Your Aniview and Google accounts are not connected yet:

    1. Contact your CSM for further instructions.

  2. Already have an existing Aniview to Google API connection:

    1. Change the Aniview API service account user role to “Administrator”. (This can be changed back after the assets are created on your account).

    2. Go to Aniview platform / Settings / TPP:

      1. For the relevant Google TPP label do the below:

        1. Enable “Import & Sync GAM Entities”

    3. The Google ad unit placement types are:

      Standalone - Used by the “Display Placement” studio entity

      .

    4. InRead - Used by the video player’s multiformat features as in the InRead position (specifically the preloader and passback features).

    5. Float - Used by the video player’s multiformat features as in the Float and Sticky positions (specifically the preroll and passback features).

    6. Overlay - Used by the Instream video player’s overlay feature in InRead Position.

    7. Overlay Float - Used by the Instream video player’s overlay feature in Float/Sticky Position.

    8. For the same channel, each Google ad unit associated (in each placement) must be different, to prevent rendering issues on the client side (Google prevents two renders of same ad unit in page).

      1. Not only the ad source must be different, also the associated Google ad unit must be different.

    9. “Delegate to Partner” - You can also choose to connect a partner connection instead of Google ad sources, in this scenario, your partner will have to set up their Google ad units in their channel.
