The Counter — What Is RTB?

Real-time bidding (RTB) is where the orders get filled. When a user visits a publisher's site, a bid request is sent to connected demand-side platforms — think of it as stepping up to the counter. Advertisers evaluate and submit a bid in milliseconds, before the page even finishes loading.

RTB gives advertisers full control over which impressions they buy, at what price, and under what conditions. Instead of fixed-rate media buys, you compete for each pour individually — bidding only on traffic that matches your goals.

At Traffic.Bar, the counter runs on technology built for performance. Every bid request is matched against real targeting signals and routed to the best-matched demand in real time. No waiting at the bar.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is real-time bidding and how does it work?
Real-time bidding (RTB) is a programmatic auction that happens in milliseconds. When a user visits a publisher page, a bid request containing user and placement data is sent to connected bidders. Your DSP evaluates the request, decides whether to bid and at what price, and submits a response. The highest bidder wins the impression and their ad is served to the user — all before the page finishes loading.
How do I get started with RTB on Traffic.Bar?
Create an advertiser account and request RTB access through your dashboard or by contacting our team. Once approved, you'll receive your endpoint URL, authentication credentials, and technical documentation. Our integration team will help you configure your bidder, run test auctions, and go live with production traffic.
What protocols and formats are supported?
Traffic.Bar supports the OpenRTB 2.5 protocol with JSON bid request and response format over HTTP/HTTPS. Bid requests include standard OpenRTB objects (imp, site, device, user, geo) with extensions for dating-specific signals. We support both first-price and second-price auction models.
Is there a minimum spend requirement for RTB?
RTB access requires a minimum monthly spend commitment. The exact threshold depends on your integration type and traffic volume requirements. Contact our team for current minimums and to discuss a plan that fits your budget and campaign goals.
