Amazon Publisher Services (APS)

Introduction

At InMobi, we believe in supporting the needs of our Publishers and Advertisers by listening to them and delivering a better experience. Our DSPs and buyers are looking for a holistic mobile strategy that goes beyond their in-app success. With mobile web still accounting for a sizeable 21%* share in a premium market like the US, InMobi is now extending its monetization solutions to mobile web to solve this marketer challenge and enable our publishers to make the most out of their mobile ad inventory. For more details, please refer to the following document Mobile Web On InMobi Exchange.

Integration Contract Specifications

InMobi supports all mobile web publishers available on the APS platform. Once the contract with InMobi has been signed, the following steps need to be implemented:

The following steps need to be followed to complete the integration set up with InMobi’s adapter.

  1. You must generate Site IDs for their inventory on the APS dashboard. This Site ID needs to be mapped to the InMobi Site ID on InMobi's customer interface (CI).
  2. Publishers need to visit InMobi CI and create Ad Placements which then need to be mapped to their inventory. Please find the detailed steps to create ad placements on InMobi CI in the next segment (InMobi UI workflow).
  3. There will be no Tag IDs for APS mobile-web supply.  Hence publishers will need to create one fallback placement each for banner and in-stream videos. All request objects sent from APS will be mapped to the fallback placements.

    Note

    There should be only one fallback placement for each banner and in-stream video.

  4. Publishers will need to switch on InMobi on their APS dashboard, post which they can start sending traffic via InMobi Adapter.

InMobi UI Workflow

  1. Click Add Inventory available on the Inventory Settings tab and select Mobile Website from the available options.
