While less than one-third of Web publishers offered real-time bidding on their ad inventory last year, about 44% of publishers will offer it this year, according to a recent report from eMarketer.
The report underscores the growth in this sector of the digital ad business that started to take off last year, bolstered by venture investments in real-time platforms like AdMeld as well as Google’s purchase of real-time system Invite Media.
