Measuring and defining ad metrics at Adnami

An overview of how ad metrics available within the Adnami Reporting are defined

Metric

Definition

Creative Code

The unique code of every creative

Site

The domain the creative was served on. 


In most cases, we read the URL the banner was displayed on to identify the site. 


If reading the URL banner is not possible, we look at the source macro (data-adnm-source) in the DSP tag to determine and identify the site.  


If neither works, we will use the initial URL we receive (safeframe, double-click, etc.). These initial URLs delivered valid impressions however, for some not common reason the URL could not be registered. 

Impressions

The number of sessions the creative was served.

Impressions Viewed

The number of impressions where the creative was in view for 1 second.

Clicks

The number of sessions where a click results in the user navigating to a landing page. This can be a maximum of 1 per session.

CTR

Clicks / Impressions

Engagement

The sum of clicks to a landing page (click through) + clicks on interactive elements in the banner + swipes.


This can be a maximum of 1 per session.

Engagement Rate

Engagement / Impressions

Time in View

The amount of time the ad was in view. 

For High Impact ads, the measurement starts when the ad is more than 30% in view, and ends when it is less than 30% in view.


This takes into account the viewability thresholds. 

Average Time In View



Time in View / Number of impressions where time in view is measured.

APM 

(Attention per Mille)

The attention generated per 1000 viewable impressions. Use this to compare formats and creatives.

eAPM

(Effective Attention per Mille)

The attention generated per 1000 impressions.

This is a representation of how efficient an ad campaign is. Use this to compare effectiveness across sites.


It combines the quality of the impressions bought (in terms of viewability) with the quality of the creative served in a targeted context.

aCPM (Attentive cost per mille)

Attentive cost per mile (aCPM) indicates the price for 1,000 attention points.
 
Use case:  Inform your bidding strategies to get the most out of programmatic buying.

This metric is not available on the Adnami platform but can be calculated based on Adnami attention data using the following formula:

How to calculate aCPM:

aCPM = CPM / eAPM * 1000
