What are the new data features?
Introducing RPM
RPM or Revenue per thousand impressions is a universally accepted metric used to measure performance by publishers. It is calculated by dividing overall earnings with impressions, multiplied by 1000.
RPM=Earnings/Impressions*1000

RPM helps assess effectiveness of ads in generating revenue. We have introduced this feature in the new Native Shopping Ads Reports and this will help you estimate earnings based on your traffic.
Introducing Viewability
An impression rendered is not necessarily viewed. Real opportunity of conversion or consumer action is only on impressions that are viewable by the consumer. For example, if an ad is at the bottom of a page, it would get ‘rendered’ when the page loads but becomes ‘viewable’ only when the consumer scrolls down the page. This is called ‘Viewability’. Viewability is a metric that tells you the % of times when the ad rendered on your page is actually viewable by a visitor.

We have introduced Viewability in the new Native Shopping Ads Reports. Knowing ‘Viewability’ helps you identify opportunities to make the ads more visible and hence drive more conversions.

Viewability= Viewable Impressions/Total Impressions*100
