Bid
A bid is the amount an advertiser is willing to pay to show their ad to a user. When someone visits a website or app, many advertisers compete in a quick auction. Each one places a bid.
The highest bid usually wins, and their ad is shown. This happens in real time, often in milliseconds. Bidding helps advertisers control their budget and reach the right audience. It’s a key part of how online ads work.
