Metrics in reports
All metrics are generated based on data with General Invalid Traffic (GIVT) filtered out. Data for IMS metrics is additionally filtered to exclude SIVT (Sophisticated Invalid Traffic).
Note
Statistics are displayed in Moscow time (UTC+3).
Common
| Metric | Description |
|---|---|
| Impressions | Events that occur at the start of ad rendering. |
| Total impressions | The total count of banner impressions in the system, including backup ad. The number of impressions may differ from the number of banner ad responses if the impression count method is overridden at the campaign level. |
| Viewable Ad Impression | Ad impressions in the window's viewable area in the active browser tab, which are counted according to the established criteria: the minimum percentage of pixels in the viewable area and the duration in the browser viewable area. |
| Undetermined ad impressions | Impressions for which it's impossible to determine the viewability status. |
Events
| Metric | Description |
|---|---|
| Viewable Ad Impression, Yandex | Impressions that meet the Yandex-standard viewability criteria. The metric is only available for campaigns with the count method Viewable impression, Yandex (previously — Viewable impression, 2 seconds) that were created before March 18, 2022. |
Unique
To calculate metrics for unique users, Adfox uses sampling: this is a statistical data processing method, in which a general view of the data is based on a certain part of it. This reduces the time it takes to build reports.
Adfox makes a selection from all the data and counts the number of unique users based on it. When building reports, this number is multiplied by the sampling ratio.
The larger the number of impressions, the smaller the error that sampling can cause. With a small number of impressions (for example, if the campaign has just started), the number of unique users may exceed the number of impressions. In this case, the data on impressions will be correct.
| Metric | Description |
|---|---|
| Total unique impressions | Banner impressions for the user that were recorded by the system, including backup ad, but excluding repeat impressions. The impression count may differ from the banner response count if the impression count method is overridden at the campaign level. |
| Impression frequency | Count of banner ad impressions for unique users. |
| Unique Yandex HB total ad requests | The number of all requests sent via Yandex Header Bidding (without repeat requests). |
| Unique banner ad responses | A banner response (without repeat responses) to the user, counted by the system. The response count may differ from the number of banner impressions if the impression count method is overridden at the campaign level. |
| Unique impressions | The banner impression recorded by the system, excluding repeat impressions. The impression count may differ from the banner ad response count if the impression count method is overridden at the campaign level. |
| Unique unfilled ad responses | A response of a backup ad (without repeat responses) to the user, counted by the system. |
