What You Should Know About Programmatic Buying, and What It Means for Native Ads

If you aren’t familiar with programmatic platforms, you will be soon. In fact, you’re probably already being served content that uses this technology to decide what you see.

Here Is Yahoo’s Native Ad Network

Yahoo is bringing its native ads to other publishers’ sites.
Last year Yahoo adopted the low-hanging-fruit version of native advertising, a form of ad that aims to mirror surrounding editorial content. Unlike BuzzFeed’s sponsored listicles or The New York Times’ brand-penned posts, Yahoo’s native “Stream Ads” more closely resemble Facebook’s Sponsored Stories in that they refashion display ads as content links within its sites’ content streams. Now Yahoo is extending these ads outside of its own properties through a content recommendation system that helps publishers promote their own stories.
