What's the shape of the long tail distribution? Does the top 5000 get 99% of the traffic?


Typical pareto rule I've found. It'd be closer to 99% if all of their supply was sold into the exchanges, but most sites have a much more complicated waterfall to clear out their supply such that the premium inventory gets direct sold or sold into a private marketplace and only the remnant inventory goes into public exchanges.
