What is Yahoo! Gemini?
Yahoo! Gemini is a digital advertising platform and supply-side platform that combines native, mobile, and video ad formats. Launched in 2015, Gemini was developed by Yahoo to allow advertisers and publishers to buy, sell, analyze, and optimize native advertising and mobile app marketing campaigns across platforms and devices.
Key features of Gemini include:
- Support for native ads, mobile app install/engagement ads, sponsored content, and video ads
- Self-serve buying and real-time bidding interfaces for demand-side advertisers
- Ad serving, yield optimization, and audience targeting tools for supply-side publishers
- Proprietary cross-device tracking technology to connect users across smartphones, tablets, desktops
- Robust analytics and optimization based on goals like clicks, conversions, or brand lift
- APIs and integration support for third-party analytics tools
Overall, Yahoo Gemini aims to improve efficiency and performance of native and mobile advertising by centralizing previously fragmented solutions under a unified platform.
