In reports, Adform provides available metrics related to the specified dimensions in the report.

Note

The term dimensions in this list refers to groupings in a report (such as clients or publishers).

A-C

A

Metric

Description

Available Impression

Shows the number of initial requests received by the ad server from the website or app. It generates an opportunity to show an impression. If a placement is also enabled for RTB, then Adform creates an OpenRTB auction for the available impression.

Avg. Viewability Time (sec.)

Shows how long, on average, a banner was visible on users' browser screen. See more information in the Banner Measurements manual.

B

Metric

Description

Bid Count (for Bid Loss Reasons)

Shows the total number of bids, including both lost and won bids. Use this metric together with bid loss reason dimension to identify the number of bids lost for each reason.

Bid Rate (%)

Shows the proportion of bid responses in a total number of bid requests.

Calculation: Bid Responses / Bid Requests × 100

Bid Response

Shows the number of bid responses.

Bid Requests

Shows the number of offers by a publisher in an attempt to sell an impression in an ad exchange auction.

Booked

Shows the number of booked units based on the campaign goal.

You can set goals for impressions, viewable impressions, clicks, or a budget. A campaign stops when a goal is reached. If you select Unlimited goal type, the campaign doesn't have any booked units, it runs until you stop it manually or until it reaches the end date.

Buy Rate (%)

Shows the proportion of impressions (won bids) in total number of bid requests (offers for an impression). Calculation: Impressions / Bid Requests × 100

C

Metric

Description

Clicks

Shows the number of clicks for the selected report dimension.

Cost

Shows the cost of delivered units (impressions) for the selected dimension, usually, at the campaign or line item level. Adform includes over-delivery information into the calculation.

If the line item goal is set to unlimited, the cost is 0. If you set the line item goal to reach a certain amount of impressions or revenue, Adform calculates the cost according to the Fixed Price algorithm.

For example: CPM Price = 7 and Delivered Impressions (actual) = 20,000 Cost = CPM Price / 1000 x Delivered = 7 / 1000 x 20,000 = 140 (EUR)
