CPM On Mobile Private Exchange 213% Higher Than Public

Quality inventory is the holy grail for marketers using real-time bidding (RTB), and a new report from TapSense shows just how much they are willing to pay for it.

The mobile ad platform on Thursday released a report claiming that eCPMs in the U.S. are 213% higher on private mobile RTB exchanges compared to their public counterparts.

“Quality” can be a subjective word, but TapSense CEO and co-founder Ash Kumar said the inventory they see being put on private exchanges typically draws users that convert more often are are more engaged with apps, as the majority of mobile RTB takes place in apps.

It’s not just in the U.S. that marketers are spending significantly more (per thousand impressions) on private exchanges. TapSense says private exchange eCPMs are 513% higher than open exchanges in Australia and 325% higher in Canada.

The top five demand-side platform (DSP) spenders on the TapSense platform spent significantly more per thousand impressions than the platform average. The top DSP’s eCPM was 240% higher than the platform average, and the eCPM of the top five combined was 176% more.

It needs to be noted that TapSense specializes in providing mobile RTB software to publishers specifically for private exchange use. All of the private exchange data in this report comes from their own platform. The open exchange data comes from “publicly available data,” per TapSense, and was collected by its research team.

    +213%...That's it? ;-)

    Good sign - curious how much of the inventory contains lat/long & how strong a variable that is in the premium. Guessing maybe not much & not much right now.
