Statistics

 

The Statistics tab shows you a broad range of information about your campaigns. It allows you to gain insights into the performance of your campaigns and diagnose problems when they occur. The Graph Data panel at the top of the screen shows you charts of data related to your campaigns, while the Table Data panel at the bottom shows you tables of important data for recent dates, as well as the cost of achieving selected goals.

The information in the Statistics tab is broken down across several tabs: Dates, Campaigns & Variations, Landing Pages, Sites & Zones, Categories, Locations, Devices, OS, Languages, Browsers, Carriers, Ad Block, VR, and Hour/Day Intervals.

By default, data is displayed using the New York time zone (EST or EDT). You should bear this in mind when analyzing statistics shown for your own time zone.

However, you can change the statistics time zone by clicking on your Statistics page and selecting the Hour tab. In the bottom right of the graph on this tab, you can set the time zone for your data based on your country targeting.

 

Multi-filtering your data in the Statistics tab

filter


Note: Clicking on This Month will allow you to choose a date/date range to view statistics for. You can choose a date as far back as January 2019.


You can filter the statistics showing in the currently selected tab using the multi-filtering options at the top of the screen. You can add multiple filters together to gain insights into your data. For example, if you are viewing costs for days in the Dates tab, you could choose to break that down by country and then further break it down by browser.
 

Using the filtering feature

To filter the currently selected tab by Country, Campaigns, Categories etc. click on the +ADD FILTER button and select the item you wish to filter by.

Tick the boxes beside the items you wish to view, and click APPLY. The results that you see will be filtered by the items that you have selected.

You can add more filters after the first one. For example, you might want to filter by Country and then by Device.

You can also filter the data by date, by clicking on the calendar icon to the left of the +ADD FILTER button.

calendar

In the calendar box, you can select the time period you wish to view data for, either by dragging the mouse over the days you wish to select, or selecting from the predefined values:

  • Today
  • Yesterday
  • Last 7 days
  • Last 30 days
  • This Month
  • Last Month

Note: Choosing This Month in the Calendar will only show data for this month up to the current date.



Note: You can also drill down into your data in the Table Data panel. Doing this will automatically add a filter to the multifilter bar at the top of the Statistics tab.


The Graph Data Panel

Choosing what to display in the graphs

 

graph

For any of the tabs in the Statistics tab, you can choose what information you would like to see in the graphs in the top half of the screen:  

choose

All the tabs in the Statistics tab allow you to view charts for Costs, CPC, Clicks, Impressions, Video Impressions, Views, Views Ratio, CPV, CPM, CTR and various Goals.

The following tabs all show a single pie chart with drop-down with the above options: Campaigns and Variations, Landing Pages, Sites & Zones, Categories, Devices, OS, Languages, Browsers, Carriers, and VR.

However, in the Dates tab, you can view two of the above items presented in two concurrent line and bar graphs. You can break these down by Hour, Day, Week, Month or Year by clicking on the sub-tabs.

In the Locations tab, you can roll over the world map to see your data broken down by country. You can zoom in and out of the map using the + and - buttons on the left.

The Table Data Panel

datatable

The Table Data panel shows the data in the Graph Data Panel in tabular format. In the Show X entries drop-down in the top right of the Table Data panel, you can choose how many lines of data you wish to see in the table. You can also click the arrows beside any of the column headers and sort the data from lowest to highest value.

The Table Data panel contains a General Panel on the left and a Goals Panel on the right. The General panel shows general data about the item on the far left and the Goals panel shows eCPA for selected goals for that item.


Note: When in the Campaigns & Variations > Variations tab, you can pause campaigns and variations directly from the Table Data panel. This can be useful when you identify under-performing campaigns from viewing your statistics.


pause variation

 

The General Panel

In the General Panel you will see the item you are viewing data for on the far left, and to the right the associated data, including Impressions, Clicks, CPM, Costs, CTR, and CPC. You may also see video statistics here if you enable them in the toggle options on the top-right of the Table Data panel.


Note: The tabs Dates, Campaigns & Variations, Landing Pages, Sites & Zones, Locations, and VR are broken down into sub-tabs. When on one of these tabs, clicking items in the General panel will drill down into the related subtab. For example, clicking a campaign in the Campaigns panel will take you to the Variations sub-tab, which will show variations of that campaign.


 

The Goals Panel

goals

 

The Goals panel shows the effective Cost Per Acquisition on selected goals.

goalsexample

 

So in this example above, you can see that for Norway, 378 people reached the Goal G1, and the Total Cost was €10,165.99. This means that the eCPA was €10,165.99 / 378, which equals €26.89.

Each column in the Goals data can be sorted from highest to lowest using the arrows at the top of each column.

 

The Real Time Bidding Panel

  • Average Time shows the Average time taken between a request and response.
  • Timeouts shows the number of bid requests that were timed out with no response.
