AdTech Book: A Free Online Resource to Learn Everything About Advertising Technology
The online advertising ecosystem consists of companies, technology systems, and complex technical processes working together to serve ads to online users across the Internet. Online advertising has many positive aspects. For one, it’s provided content creators with a source of revenue so they can distribute their content for free to online users. It’s also allowed new and existing media and technology businesses to grow and thrive.
However, while the online advertising industry has experienced some ups, there have also been many downs. Some key examples include being hit hard by the dot-com bubble in the late 1990s/early 2000s and the introduction of privacy laws (e.g., the GDPR) and privacy settings in browsers that have negatively impacted advertisers, AdTech companies, and publishers.
The platforms and processes that makeup AdTech are highly complex, and very few resources explain how online advertising works from both a fundamental and technical perspective in an easy-to-understand and transparent way.
