Definitions Tab

Metric | Definition | Other Notes |
Ads Rendered | The number of ad requests to Polar that are rendered on screen. | Note that when comparing to DFP, the following is expected: Total code served count is greater than Ad server unfiltered downloaded impressions is greater than Ad server impressions is greater than Polar ads rendered. |
Outbound Click | Number of times a user clicks through to the destination URL. | Fired when an ad impression has been clicked by a user, sending the user to the ad destination - either an external page or a secondary page. NOTE: counted once per impression |
Social Click | Number of times a user clicks on a social action. | Fired when a hyperlink of an operational nature displayed within a social ad experience (social network icon, like button, etc.) has been clicked (or swiped/tapped) by a user. NOTE: counted once per impression |
Scans | The count of scans of (or clicks on) an independent call-to-action element present in the ad. | The call-to-action element is typically a 'QR Code'. Note: data is not collected for custom/client-supplied QR codes (in such a case, the number of 'Scans' will always be 0). |
Player Loads | The number of times the video player was loaded. | This should be very close to the Ads Rendered count (within a few percentage points). |
Player Load Rate | The number of Player Loads divided by the number of Ads Rendered. | If creatives are loading & rendering successfully, the Player Load Rate should be very close to 100%. |
Video Starts | The number of times the video started to play. Note that a maximum of one video start event is counted per ad rendered. |
For autoplay, videos only start when the ad is in-view. For click-to-play, videos only start when the play button is clicked. |
Video Start Rate | The number of Video Starts divided by the number of Player Loads. | For autoplay, the Video Start Rate should be very close to 100%, with some drop-off for any technical issues or delay related to loading the media. |
Ns Views | The number of Video Starts that passed the N-second total playback time. The following N-second thresholds are provided: 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, and 10. |
These metrics track total watch time, irrespective of the length of the video. For example, if a user rewatches a 5 second video multiple times, the count of 7 second views, 9 second views, etc. will be non-zero. Note that for videos less than 10 seconds in length, a 1 second grace period applies, and over 10 seconds in length, a 5 second grace period applies. Refer to the Measurement section of the Social Video v1 spec document for further background on why specific N-second view thresholds are important in the industry. |
Ns View Rate | The number of Ns Views divided by the number of Video Starts. | If creatives are loading & rendering successfully, 2s View Rate and 3s View Rate should be very close to the Video Start Rate. |
N% Completions (Video) | The number of Video Starts that passed the N-percent total playback time threshold. The length of the individual video is used for this calculation. The following N-percent thresholds are provided: 25%, 50%, 75%, 95%, and 100%. |
The 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% values are also commonly referred to as quartile completions. The 100% Completions value represents the total number of views that played the entire length of the video (ie. "View Through"). |
N% Completion Rate (Video) | The number of N% Completions (the number of times the video played through until the N% mark) divided by the number of Video Starts. |
If the user watches the video until the end, then restarts video playback and subsequently watches until the end, only one 100% completion will be recorded, because there is a maximum of one 100% completion per ad rendered. |
CTR | Click Through Rate | The click through rate indicates the proportion of rendered ads which were clicked through by the user. |
Outbound CTR | Outbound Click Through Rate | The proportion of rendered ads which resulted in a click opening another site |
Social Interaction Rate | Social icon/button interaction rate | The proportion of rendered ads with social interactions(like, share etc) with which users interacted |
Scan Rate | Scan Through Rate | The proportion of rendered ads which were scanned through by the user. |
N% Completions (Carousel) | Count of N% of Slides | The number of impressions which resulted in 25%, 50%, 75% or 100% of the slides in a multi-slide ad being seen. |
100% Completion Rate (Carousel) | Proportion of carousel completion | The proportion of impressions which resulted in 100% the slides in a multi-slide ad being seen. |
