Report metrics
Standard metrics
| Metric name | Description |
|---|---|
| Ad impressions | The count of ads which are served to a user. |
| Clicks | The number of times a user clicked on an ad. |
| Ad CTR |
For standard ads, your ad click-through rate (CTR) is the number of ad clicks divided by the number of individual ad impressions expressed as a percentage.
|
| CPC | The cost-per-click (CPC) is the average amount you pay each time a user clicks on your ad. |
| Advertiser cost | Cost of the ad impression. |
| CPM |
Cost per thousand impressions.
|
Bid metrics
| Metric name | Description |
|---|---|
| Inventory matches | Number of requests that matched a buyer's pretargeting. |
| Bid requests | Number of times a yield group buyer is asked to return bid to fill a yield group request. |
| Successful responses | Number of times a yield group a buyer successfully returned a bid in response to a yield group callout, even if that response is “no bids.” |
| Bids |
Number of bids received from Open Bidding buyers, regardless of whether the returned bid competes in an auction. This number might be greater than Yield group callouts because a buyer can return multiple bids per response. |
| Bids in auction |
Number of bids received from Open Bidding buyers that competed in the auction. A bid might not compete in the auction because the bid contained a creative that has already been scanned and found to violate policy. Learn more about Authorized Buyers policies and enforcement. |
| Auctions won | Number of winning bids received from Open Bidding buyers. This may not equal impressions because of auctions won where the ad wasn't rendered or when a Mediation list is returned to the publisher's mobile app and another buyer fills the request. |
