Ad Exchange

An ad exchange is an online marketplace for advertisers and publishers to buy and sell advertising space quickly in real-time, through bidding processes where bids for space can take place and the highest bidder’s ad will appear first on websites related to travel, such as Expedia or Tripadvisor. Travel agencies could use such exchanges to place targeted advertisements across various travel-related websites quickly.

What Is an Ad Exchange?
