7 The Analytics module consists of Website Analytics, Newsletter Analytics, and Banner/Ad Analytics and provides key analytics and insight into subscriber behavior across your online properties.
8
9 The Ad Analytics tool allows you to save, view, or download detailed known and unknown impression and viewability statistics.
10
11 Ad Analytics includes data pulled from your ad server (OpenX/Revive and DFP Premium/DFP Small Business); data obtained from the ONEcount widget; and, if you use MOAT and have the MOAT pixel placed, viewability data from MOAT.
12
13 The following lesson provides general information on using the Ad Analytics tool.
14
15 === DEFINITIONS ===
16
17 **Advertiser -** Advertiser(s) pulled from your ad serving platform. (ONEcount currently supports OpenX/Revive and DFP Premium/DFP Small Business.)
18
19 **Campaign/Order -** Banner campaigns pulled from your ad serving platform. (ONEcount currently supports OpenX/Revive and DFP Premium/DFP Small Business.) Alternatively known as a “campaign”, an order is an ad request placed by an advertiser on a publisher’s website. It can be an ongoing or time-bound activity and include multiple ad sizes.
20
21 **Line Item -** In DFP (but not in OpenX/Revive), every order as described above must include at least one line item, which defines the ad to run, which unit it will run in, which creative to use, and details about any custom targeting. When a Summary Report is generated, creatives will display below the Line Open. Because OpenX doesn't include a Line Item level in the heirarchy and there is no drop-down selection option in ONEcount if using OpenX (the drop-down menu will show "default" instead), individual creatives will be displayed below the Campaign.
22
23 So, the Ad Analytics Summary Report will display in the following heirarchical order:
24 DFP – Advertiser, Order/Campaign, Line Item, Creatives (4 levels in Summary Report)
25 OpenX/Revive – Advertiser, Campaign, Creatives (3 levels in Summary Report)
26
27 **Known** -* A user who is in the ONEcount system and has been authenticated and identified.
28
29 **Unknown** = Includes counts of those users who are not authenticated/have not been identified by the ONEcount system. A user may be in your database but be an unkown if they haven't been authenticated by logging in, clicking on a smartlink in an email, or completing a subscription/registration form for a new product.
30
31 **Total -** Total of both Known and Unknown users.
32
33 **Served Impressions -** Number of ads that have been served, whether in view or not when the web page is loaded. This number is calculated by ONEcount.
34
35 **Viewed Impressions -** Number of "viewable" ads that have been served. This number is calculated by ONEcount.
36 Per the IAB standards on viewability, an ad is counted as "viewed" when the following criteria are met:
37
38 * Pixel Requirement: Greater than or equal to 50% of the pixels in the advertisement are on an in-focus browser tab on the viewable space* of the browser page, and
39 * Time Requirement: The time the pixel requirement is met is greater than or equal to one continuous second, post ad render.
40
41 *Viewable space, per IAB is: Advertisements and content associated with each page load can appear either within or outside the viewable space of the browser on a user's screen - i.e., that part of the page within the browser that a user can see. This is similar to the concepts once referred to as "above the fold" (i.e., within the viewable browser space) and "below the fold" (i.e. outside the viewable browser space).
42
43 **Visitors Served -** The number of known visitors who were served ads, viewable or not viewable per IAB standards. If a visitor is served multiple ads, it is counted as one visitor served.
44
45 **Visitors Viewed -** The number of known visitors who were served ads that meet the IAB standards on viewability. If a visitor is served multiple Viewable ads, it is counted as one visitor served.
46
47 **Ads Served -** The total number of ads served. This number is pulled directly from your ad serving platform. (ONEcount currently supports OpenX/Revive ad serving platform.)
48
49 **Ads Clicked -** The total number of ads served from your ad server. (ONEcount currently supports OpenX/Revive ad serving platform.)
50
51 **Viewability Rate -** Number of Viewed Impressions / number of Served Impressions.
52 ~*~*
53 **Avg. Time in View (in seconds) -** The average time ads are in view. Calculated by number of seconds in view / number of Viewed Impressions.
54
55 *
56 ** A user must be authenticated and identified by ONEcount to be counted as a Known user. There are different ways to be identified: 1) By logging into a web site (direct log-in or via a lookup form), 2) by clicking on a smartlink~*~* in an email blast, 3) by completing a registration/subscription form for a product. Once authenticated and identified, a cookie will be set, allowing you to track a user's activities as a Known user. If a user is not logged in/identified, activities will be tracked as an Unknown user. Once the user is authenticated and identified, all of his/her activities (including past activities) will be moved from Unknown statistics to Known statistics.*
57
58 (% style="color: rgb(200,0,0);" %)//**IMPORTANT NOTE:**//
59
60 //**In order to identify users and track activity, widgets must be embedded on every page of your web site (placing them at the root level will accomplish this). These widgets, specific to your site(s), and directions for placement are provided in the Widget Builder. Please see Widget Builder** ~_~_**documentation for moreinformation.**//
61
62 //**ONEcount Library/Tracker: This javascript snippet controls gating/access, cookie setting and does web tracking.**//
63
64 _**Automation Widget: Automation scripts are snippets of javascript code that allow ONEcount to target actions (like ad target, popup target etc). This piece of javascript determines and outputs any automated action to the browser.** _
65
66 _**Noscript Tag: A noscript tag is needed to track requests when js is disabled.** _
67
68 _**Banner Trackers: Banner widgets are used to track and report banner activity. There are two banner platforms supported within ONEcount: OpenX and DFP (Premium and Small Business).** _
69
70 _ **Third Party Trackers Modifications: Usually websites will have third party trackers like Google Analytics, etc. installed on their website. A small piece of code needs to be added to those third party trackers so that ONEcount can pass the original referrer to those systems. We provide the code that needs to be added to your Google analytics code. If any other third party trackers are being used on your website, please let your ONEcount account manager know ahead of time.** _
71
72 _**ONEcount Pixel for Moat: ONEcount can collect ad viewability data from Moat's realtime pixel. In order to send data to ONEcount, Moat can fire a pixel like below to send data to ONEcount.** _

190
191 **Known** = Includes users in your database who have been identified and authenticated by ONEcount.
192 **Unknown** = Includes counts of those users who are not authenticated/have not been identified by the ONEcount system. A user may be in your database but be an unkown if they haven't been authenticated by logging in, clicking on a smartlink in an email, or completing a subscription/registration form for a new product.
193 **Total** = ~*~* Known + Unknown counts
