# Best Publisher Ad Server Software - Page 3

*By [Yukta Rustagi](https://research.g2.com/insights/author/yukta-rustagi)*


Publisher ad servers, commonly referred to as ad servers, help website publishers earn money from their websites through online advertising. It allows publishers to generate revenue from their content by selling ads on their site while keeping that content free for their audiences.

Publishers use ad servers to manage ad operations such as creating ad units, setting inventory price minimums, trafficking ads, and tracking conversions and advertisers’ budgets.

Ad servers are complemented by advertiser campaign management software that marketers use to buy the ad inventory made available by publishers. Publisher ad servers make inventory available to sell through [ad networks software](https://www.g2.com/categories/ad-networks), which packages ad units from multiple publishers together to sell to advertisers.

 

Publisher ad servers commonly function as [supply side platforms (SSP)](https://www.g2.com/categories/supply-side-platform-ssp) as well, and many products in the ad server category are also in the SSP category. Ad servers may also provide functionalities otherwise found in [mobile app monetization software](https://www.g2.com/categories/app-monetization-platforms).

To qualify for inclusion in the Publisher Ad Server category, a product must:

- Be able to create and manage ad units on websites
- Integrate with third-party ad networks and exchanges, and offer access to its own proprietary ad inventory offerings
- Automate processes for trafficking and managing ads
- Track ad conversion and audience demographic information

## How Do You Choose the Right Publisher Ad Server Software?

### What You Should Know About Publisher Ad Server Software

### What is an Ad Server? 

An ad server is a fundamental [advertising technology](https://www.g2.com/articles/history-of-advertising) responsible for placing ads on websites and apps.

They can also target specific ads to users based on predefined criteria, enhancing relevance and engagement.

Two main types of publisher ad server software exist: hosted solutions, which are maintained by a third party, and self-hosted solutions, managed in-house on a private server. Selecting the top publisher ad servers depends on your business needs, considering factors such as scalability and user features. The best publisher ad server software offers seamless integration with ad networks, robust analytics, and advanced targeting, positioning it as a critical tool in optimizing ad effectiveness and revenue.

- **Inventory control and pricing:** With an ad server, publishers can maintain control over their ad inventory and set pricing strategies that align with their financial goals, ensuring transparent and profitable ad operations.
- **Integration with ad networks and exchanges:** Ad servers support seamless integration with various ad networks and exchanges, broadening exposure to potential advertisers and enhancing ad fill rates, which boosts overall revenue.
- **Strategic advantage:** Ad servers enable effective [app monetization strategies](https://www.g2.com/articles/app-monetization), ensuring publishers remain agile and competitive.

### What are the Common Features of Publisher Ad Server Software?
