Viewable impressions
“Viewable impressions” indicate the number of times your ads appear in the users' visible area.
Clicks that occur after a viewable impression are called “viewable clicks.”You can use viewable impression-related metrics to analyze whether your ad is "seen but not clicked" or "not seen and not clicked."
- Shown in the visible area refers to more than 50% of the ad being continuously shown for one second or longer (On the in-stream placement, shown in the visible area refers to a viewer watching the video for at least 2 consecutive seconds while more than 50% of the ad is shown.)
- Viewable impressions may not be available depending on ad space.
- Ads that appear in the visible area of internet users more than an hour after delivery are not counted as viewable impressions.
- Viewable impressions are measured in real-time, but there may be a time lag of a few seconds depending on your environment and network conditions. Therefore, if your ad is clicked after it's displayed and before it counts as a viewable impression, it won't count as a viewable click. For these reasons, there may be a difference between viewable clicks and clicks.
