A timeout let publishers balance experience and revenue, deciding exactly how long (500 milliseconds? One second?) they can wait for bid responses.

Mediating

  • non-mediating return all bids to the ad server that decides which bids win

only for header bidding ??

Location

Auctions in offsite servers run faster than auctions that run client side, for instance, in a mobile web browser such as for header bidding.

  • in a Second-Price Auction – if your bid wins, you pay 0.01 above the second highest bid in the auction.
