Vendors And Services¶
BlueKai¶
BidCore’s integration with BlueKai gives you access to many 3rd party audience segments available for use with line item targeting in the BidCore UI and via the API.
Please contact your Account Manager or Support team for help with navigating,
choosing and activating BlueKai audience segments to use in your BidCore account. For
the full list of segments please refer to this spreadsheet
Each segment will incur additional CPM fees. You can see the individual fees
in the BidCore UI. If you choose to target line items to multiple BlueKai
segments, you will only pay the highest CPM fee of all segments selected. For
example, if you choose to target 2 segments with $0.6 and $1.1 CPM fees, you
will pay $1.1 CPM fee for both segments. Segment fees are available for reporting in
u-Slicer under BlueKai Fee and BlueKai Fee (USD) reporting values.

Contextual targeting (Oracle Contextual Categories): Oracle technology is used to target contextually relevant websites.
