How Ads Are Served

Every impression goes through a real-time auction. Prebid.js runs header bidding across 5 SSPs simultaneously, submits bids to Google Ad Manager, and the highest bid wins. If no bids meet the floor, AdSense backfill ensures 100% fill. All ads load on user interaction (scroll/click) to protect Core Web Vitals.

AI-Powered Buying (MCP)

GWN is one of the first publishers to offer autonomous AI media buying via the AdCP (Ad Context Protocol) standard. AI buyer agents from any platform can discover our 13 product offerings and create media buys programmatically through our MCP endpoint at ads-api.grandewebnetwork.com/mcp/
