RTB stands for Real Time Bidding in programmatic buying. What does RTB stand for?

• A. Real Time Budgeting
• B. Real Time Bidding
• C. Rapid Trade Bid
• D. Real Time Buying

Answer: (B)

Real Time Bidding is the term for the auction-based process used in programmatic advertising where each available ad impression is put up for auction in real time as a page loads. Advertisers bid on that impression based on data about the user, context, and the value of the opportunity. The highest bidder wins and their ad is shown within milliseconds. This dynamic, per-impression bidding is what the acronym RTB denotes. Other options miss the defining mechanism: they imply budgeting, rapid trades, or just buying in real time without the auction element. Real Time Bidding specifically captures the live auction aspect that determines which ad is served for each impression.
