Buying adult and mainstream traffic from the direct publishers using RTB requires additional settings. Here in Traforama, we provide you with the first self-serve RTB platform, where you can set up new feeds and targeting settings yourself just in your member zone.
Available ad format
Now there is only one ad format available for the testing: pop-under.
Our tech team works on adding other ad formats such as In-page push, Slider, In-video, Interstitial, Banner. Follow our updates to get informed about new ad formats releases.
We do support CPM and CPV, price models.
How to make self-serve integration
Here’s the step-by-step instruction on what you should start from to test our RTB solution. First of all, make sure that you do have an account on Traforama.com. Then don’t hesitate to get in touch with our support team via live chat or drop us a line at support@traforama.com. We will help you to switch it to RTB mode.
The next step is to select the type of integration: open RTB or XML/JSON feed. To launch XML/JSON feeds you need to create an Integration Format and add a new Feed. Integration Format is the basic information about your ad response. You can create as much feeds as you need for each integration format.
The last step is to send your feeds or endpoints to the review and fill up your balance.
