How online advertising starts
Suppose we have a website for any publisher, and we put some of the content there. And now the website contains some spaces on their page to put the advertisings.
At starts there was totally human involvement. And The technology was not as much grown as today.
So, In the beginning of advertising era!
The companies and advertisers had to contact directly to the website for putting their advertisements. And there was a direct connection. And human connection between the two of them. Between the publisher and the advertisers.
There were no add exchangers. But Now as the online advertisement grows with time and digital technologies get into Being. The website for advertisements increases with a higher rate and which means space for advertisements increases.
But the companies and advertisers were very limited at that time. So, Demand became rare. But supply was increased.
Beginning of add exchangers and ad networks:
To organize the advertisements with more accuracy. And solve fighting scenario between advertisers and publishers. Ad exchangers and Ad networks are made.
Ad exchangers started to buy spaces in bulk from website to put advertisements. And means they work as a middleman. So, they started to buy vacant spaces from websites. But still for the premium position of websites. Publishers must directly contact with websites.
What are ad networks:
Ad networks are made to arrange all the publishers and websites. So. For Example if ad network 1 will deal with some of the publishers 1, publisher 2, and publisher 3. And ad network 2 will deal with some of the other number of publishers which includes publisher 2, publisher 4 and publisher 5. Means they are collection of advertisers or publishers.

For example, at this website which type of audience visits. what is the category of the ad and audience? And how you will show the advertisement at the app. All the advertisers and websites will first contact with SSP.
Beginning of programmatic advertising:
To solve all these problems, we were facing. Programmatic advertisements came into being. This whole process of removing direct human involvement. And increasing machine involvement. For solving problems is termed as programmatic advertising.
