How to Insert Ads from Google Server Side



google server side ad insertion

You can implement Google server-side ad insertion using a MediaSource that has the custom ssai:// URL. We'll discuss the SSB stream URL in detail and how to implement it. Next, we will discuss how ExoPlayer can implement the SSB streaming URL. We'll also discuss potential solutions for client-side advertisements insertion.

URL for SSB stream

In order to enable Google's server side ad insertion, you must enable Dynamic Ad Insertion (DAI) on your content. This method is useful if you'd like to track the metrics of your video streams. It is important to note that you cannot change the SSB stream URL once it's been installed on your content source. DAI authentication keys must be enabled and CDN delivery and ingest settings configured if you wish to use DAI. In order to receive email notifications about ingest errors, you might also want to enable it.

DoubleClick For Publishers(DFP) is a very popular ad-network that allows you to make your site more interactive. Based on the interests of your visitors, dynamically placed ads will be added to your content once a page is loaded. The company recently introduced dynamic ad insertion, or server-side ad insertion. You should first learn about client-side ad insertion before you can set up Google DFP Server Side Ad Insertion.

Problems with client-side ads insertion

The number of ads displayed on websites has increased dramatically in recent years. In addition, many end-users have turned to ad blockers, which prevent ads from being displayed on a page. Client-side ad placement is a better solution. This integrates advertising assets and video, eliminating the problem of ads loading but not videos. It reduces buffering while maintaining video quality.

Another issue with client-side advertising is the inability to support ad sewing. While this ad technology allows publishers to use more advanced ad formats and track user interaction, it does not support measurement. Good news is that the client-side technology for insertion of ads has greatly improved over the past three years. It is now the best way for any video content to be monetized.

ExoPlayer - The Solution

ExoPlayer was designed to facilitate client-side ad inserting. StyledPlayerView implements AdViewProvider. AdsLoader is provided for timed meta data. ExoPlayer supports any VAST compliant ad server. ExoPlayer also enables you to use custom ads SDK MediaSources and listen to these events.

Developers have the ability to add ads to any video using the SDK. The IMA SDK supports embedded ads in media content such as videos. However, it is not optimized to play standalone ads. For such cases, Google Mobile Ads SDK is recommended. You can integrate the SDK with ExoPlayer if you use third-party Ads SDK.

How to Implement

The server side ads do not originate from the browser or application. Instead, the publisher makes the call without having any code on the page. This is not the best solution for programmatic publishers but it is preferred by brands that want to be more creative with their advertising offerings. Incorporating server side ads allows brands to create seamless native advertisements that can replace any content. This is a great technique for web content as it reduces the intrusiveness of the advertisement.

It is difficult to implement server side ads. Kevel is a popular API tool to build your server-side ad platform. Once you have the platform, though, it can be difficult switching to programmatic advertisements. It will require a strong buy-in from different departments. Ad tags will still be required for direct-sold positions. Your server-side strategy will have to focus on these placements.
