PubMatic allows online publishers to focus on site content and growing site traffic, instead of grappling with the complexities ad networks to find the best way to monetize their site ad space. They claim they can help optimize a publishers site from registration completion in only ten minutes.

PubMatic automates and optimizes these decisions in two key ways. First, PubMatic auctions the publisher’s ad inventory across leading ad networks such as Google AdSense, Yahoo Publisher Network, ValueClick, and others. By continuously monitoring the eCPMs that each ad network is paying for a publisher’s ad inventory, PubMatic is able to dynamically shift the ad inventory to the ad network that is paying the most.

Second, PubMatic’s sophisticated algorithms determine the optimum color scheme for a publisher’s text ads by looking at the publisher’s web page, the visitor, and other factors. PubMatic can change the color scheme for a publisher’s ads in real time in order to maximize conversions. Best of all, PubMatic lets publishers work with a single set of ad tags and generate consolidated reports instantly.

How can pubmatic claim "objective" optimization when it is running its own network - Komli? Isn't this an inherent conflict of interest? Just like running Google's ad-manager and adsense together? I'd like to quote from pubmatic's blog: "If the publisher starts using Google Ad Manager, now: * Google can see exactly what price the publisher is selling his or her ad inventory for. * Instead of paying the publisher as much as possible, Google can now simply pay the publisher 1 cent over what others are paying. Google can keep the rest as profit for themselves. * This is all the more true given that Google AdSense does not work on a fixed payout percentage (e.g., 60% for the publisher, 40% for the ad network), like most ad networks do. " I'd be happy to hear your thoughts. Amanda K.

Hi David, Thanks for your question. Sorry for the belated answer, but would like to address it nonetheless. We access publisher information in various ways. Often we use APIs where those are in place; in other cases we simulate a user on the browser interface - it really depends on the ad network's infrastructure. We believe that the information is the publisher's performance information, and as such they should have the ability to access it when and how they like, of course consistent with the ad networks' terms of service. Hope this helps. Rajeev Goel Co-founder and general manager, PubMatic

so basically you are screen scraping, right? as the networks you mentioned don't provide api's to get the relevant data. so what happens when they block your screen scrapping code, or if they change their report pages? not a very solid product. pubs beware!
