MoPub Marketplace is a real-time bidding exchange for mobile ads, where advertisers and their 65+
demand-side partner bidder platforms can bid on 1.5B ad requests every day.

RTB Glossary: a definition of key terms used in this report
• Bid Depth. The total number of bids received divided by the number of auctions conducted. This
provides a rough measure of overall demand for inventory.
• Competitive Factor. The average number of bids received for all auctions with a winning bid.
• Bid Average. The average of all submitted bids across all auctions.
• Win Rate. The percentage of auctions that had a winning bid that exceeded the publisher’s floor
price. These auctions are referred to as “won auctions.”
• eCPM. The average clearing price of all won auctions (all auctions are bid on a CPM basis).
• eCPC. The implied CPC on the MoPub exchange, calculated by dividing the total auction revenue
generated by the number of clicks tracked on those purchased impressions.
• Banner. We consider 320x50 and 768x90 to be banner formats. We typically do not include
300x250 in computations as it can be used in a modal or modeless context.
• Interstitial. We consider 320x480 and 1024x768, in both orientations, to be interstitial, or “modal”
formats.
