英文摘要	Real Time Bidding (RTB) is an emerging business model and a popular research topic of online advertising markets. Using cookie-based big-data analysis, RTB advertising platforms have the ability to precisely identify the features and preferences of online users, segment them into various kinds of niche markets, and thus achieve the precision marketing via delivering advertisements to the best-matched users. The segmentation granularity used by such platforms, typically referred to as the Demand Side Platforms (DSPs), plays a central role in the effectiveness and efficiency of the RTB ecosystem. In practice, fine-grained user segmentations may lead to increased value-per-clicks and bid prices from advertisers, but at the same time reduced competition and possibly decreased bid prices in each niche market. This motivates our research on the optimal segmentation granularity to solve this dilemma faced by DSPs. Using a RTB market model with two-stage resales, we analyzed DSPs’ segmentation strategies taking the revenues of both advertisers and DSPs into consideration. We also validated our proposed model and analysis using the computational experiment approach, and the experimental results indicate that with the increasing of segmentation granularity, the weighted sum of the DSP and advertisers’ revenues tends to first rise and then decline in all weight-value cases, and the optimal granularity is greatly influenced by the value of weights. Our work highlights the need for DSPs of moderately using, instead of overusing, the online big data for maximized revenues.
