Ad view
See also

Ad view is the number of views an ad is served to the user's screen, is counted when advertisement is delivered to the website and user can see it. Impression is very similar to an ad view and it's one of the basic terms in online marketing [1].

Other metrics

Metrics for evaluating display and advertising performance [2]:

  • Viev-through rate (VTR) - the percentage of people who view an ad and then go to the advertiser site.
  • Cost-per-thousand-impressions (CPM) - cost per one thousand displayed ads. For example $10 CPM means you will pay $10 for every one thousand views.
  • Click-through rate (CTR) - number of times an ad is clicked divided by number of views an ad is served to the user's screen.
  • Cost-per-click (CPC) - amount of money that you must pay for every click on your ad. For example $1 CPC means you will pay $1 for each click in your ad.
  • Cost-per-lead (CPL) - otherwise cost-per-action (CPA). CPA is different to the others. You pay for action you want to receive. For example, for completed form, e-mail address etc.
  • Interaction rate (IR) - proportion of ad views and ad views when people move their mouse over an ad.
  • Expansion rate - proportion of ad views and ad views when people click to expand an ad.
  • View-to-completion rate - people who watch video to the end, in percentage.

Improve your impression share

You can improve your impression share in several ways. On the one hand you can improve your content quality and keywords [3], where you don't need a lot of money, but you need time and on other hand you can increase your budget, where you need money to more advertisements. Generally is a lot of things you can do to improve your impression share [4]:

  • Do research - look on other companies and popular things.
  • Improve your keywords - better keywords is better position in Google ranking. You can use SEO software tools.
  • Improve your content - content on the page is also very important. It can't be too long and too short.
  • Increase your budget - you can spend more money on ads. More money on CPC = more clicks in your ads.
  • Change your targets - sometimes your ads are target to the wrong people, then you have to change something in your advertising campaign. Maybe change your group of recipients.
  • Change your platforms - maybe user's browsers are not the best for you. Try mobile apps, YouTube, LinkedIn etc.

Examples of Ad view

  • A user clicks on a banner ad and views the landing page. In this scenario, the number of times the banner was served (the ad view) is counted when the user clicks on the ad and visits the landing page.
  • An ad is served to a user's screen. The number of times the ad was served (the ad view) is counted when the ad appears on the user's screen.
  • A user visits a website and views a video ad. The number of times the ad was served (the ad view) is counted when the user views the video ad.
  • A user visits a website and scrolls past a display ad. The number of times the ad was served (the ad view) is counted when the user scrolls past the display ad.

Advantages of Ad view

Ad view has many advantages. It helps businesses to effectively reach their target audience and measure their marketing efforts. Some of the main advantages of ad view include:

  • It provides businesses with insights into how many people have seen their advertisements, which allows them to understand their reach and adjust their strategies accordingly.
  • Ad view helps advertisers optimize ad placement and targeting, resulting in higher ad performance.
  • It allows businesses to track the effectiveness of their campaigns and identify areas for improvement.
  • Ad view can provide valuable customer data, such as demographics and behaviors, which can be used to improve marketing efforts.
  • It can also provide businesses with insights into user engagement, providing a better understanding of their customer base.

Limitations of Ad view

Ad views have certain limitations that must be considered when using this metric for evaluating the success of an advertisement campaign. These limitations include:

  • Ad view does not measure whether or not the user has actually seen the advertisement. This can be a problem when a user has a slow connection or is using an ad blocker, as the ad view will still be counted even if the user never saw the ad.
  • Ad views also do not measure user engagement with the advertisement. While it is possible to track clicks and conversions, ad view only measures the number of times the ad has been seen, not how it has been interacted with.
  • Ad view does not measure the effectiveness of an ad campaign. While it is possible to measure the number of views an ad has, it does not provide insight into the overall goals of the campaign, such as brand recognition or sales.

Other approaches related to Ad view

Ad views provide a basic metric for the effectiveness of an online advertisement. Other approaches related to measuring the effectiveness of an ad include:

  • Click-through rate (CTR): This is the ratio of the number of clicks that the ad receives to the number of times it is served. It is a way to measure how well an ad is resonating with the target audience.
  • Conversion rate: This is the ratio of the number of people who actually complete the desired action (such as purchase a product, sign up for a newsletter, etc.) to the number of people who viewed the ad. It is a way to measure how well the ad is driving people to take action.
  • Cost per acquisition (CPA): This is the cost of acquiring a customer or a lead. It is a way to measure the cost effectiveness of an ad campaign.
  • Return on investment (ROI): This is the ratio of the profits generated from an ad campaign to the cost of the campaign. It is a way to measure the overall success of an ad.

In summary, ad views provide a basic metric for measuring the effectiveness of an online advertisement, but other approaches such as click-through rate, conversion rate, cost per acquisition, and return on investment can provide more detailed insights.
