Much like advertisers bidding for positions on search engine results, online advertisements themselves are also often sold by hosts to advertisers by auction. The massive size and scale of the web, with billions of websites and an incalculable number of individual web pages, however, makes manual auctions for ad space ineffective. Instead, most auctions for online ad space are performed automatically via a system known as programmatic advertising. 2, record 2, English, - auction

La publicité programmatique représente une avancée majeure dans le domaine du marketing digital. Elle utilise des algorithmes sophistiqués et des données en temps réel pour automatiser l'achat et la vente d'espaces publicitaires en ligne. Cette technologie permet aux annonceurs de cibler précisément leur audience et d'optimiser leurs campagnes en temps réel. Au cœur de ce système se trouvent les plateformes d'achat programmatique (DSP) et les plateformes de vente programmatique (SSP). Les DSP permettent aux annonceurs de gérer leurs campagnes sur plusieurs réseaux publicitaires à partir d'une seule interface, tandis que les SSP aident les éditeurs à maximiser la valeur de leur inventaire publicitaire. 2, record 3, French, - plateforme%20d%27achat%20programmatique
