21 Top Metrics for Online Display Advertising
In this post I am listing the 21 metrics to measure the success of your display advertising. Most of these are also applicable, with some variation, to other forms of advertising such as Paid Search, Social Media Ads, Print and email. I will cover these other channels and mediums in the future posts. Impressions – It is the number of times your ad is displayed. The number by itself does not hold much value but it is a metric used to calculate other metrics and KPIs. Keep in mind that an impression does not mean that someone actually saw the ad, it just that the ad was shown on a web page/app. Reach –This is the number of unique people (generally identified by cookies) that were reached by your ad.

This is what Santiago Ortiz wondered as he visualized stars from a different perspective, as shown in Figure 1-25. The initial view places the stars in a global layout, the way you see them. You look at Earth beyond the stars, but as if they were an equal distance away from the planet. Zoom in, and you can see constellations how you would from the ground, bundled in a sleeping bag in the mountains, staring up at a clear sky. The perceived view is fun to see, but flip the switch to show actual distance, and it gets interesting. Stars transition, … [Read More...]
