Header Bidding for Dummies #5897

Closed sshcli closed 3 years ago

sshcli commented 3 years ago

Hi Mates, Congratulations for this beautiful project, I wish you success!

Sorry for my stupid question, but this is my first day trying to implement Header Bidding on my website.

I have completed the Step By Step Guide to Google Ad Manager (Thanks btw) you have posted here: https://docs.prebid.org/adops/step-by-step.html

But now what? What additional steps I must do? I have read a lot of things, but... I still don't know if I need to upload some files to my server, I still don't know if I need to build something I still don't know if I need to approach bidders by my self and what to say I still don't know if I will need a Header Bidding partner, or this is something I can do it by my self

If anyone can please point me into the right direction, I will really appreciate it. The ABC of Header Bidding (Header Bidding for Dummies)

Thanks in advance

Regards,

@sshcli - we'll put it on our list to generate a high level checklist for a header bidding implementation. In the meantime, you should just search. e.g. "header bidding basics" revealed references that may help you like https://adprofs.co/beginners-guide-to-header-bidding

I still don't know if I need to upload some files to my server

Yes, you will need to create a Prebid.js build and host it along with your web pages

I still don't know if I need to build something

Your web pages need to integrate with Prebid.js javascript

I still don't know if I need to approach bidders by my self and what to say

Yes. You need to have an account with each bidder.

I still don't know if I will need a Header Bidding partner, or this is something I can do it by my self

Many pubs do header bidding on their own. Many partner with a managed service.

Thanks @bretg for your kind response. Yesterday after create the issue here, I found on internet this: https://fidelity-media.com/2017/03/23/prebid-js-step-step-installation-guide

However, I believe that you offer a very great solution for publishers, and that simple information should be included in your website, it will avoid a lot of unnecessary questions.

Thanks again @bretg Maybe I will see you later reporting new bugs, creating simple PRs, etc.
