Google to Allow Independent Audit of YouTube Ad Performance Metrics
‘Viewability’ Comes to Video Ads
The Media Rating Council has defined a new standard for video viewability - it says a video ad is only deemed viewable if 50 percent of it is visible on a user's screen for at least two consecutive seconds. That means if a video ad is playing on part of a webpage a user never scrolls far enough to see, the advertiser won t be charged for it. The idea is to prevent advertisers wasting money on ads that never actually reach consumers eyes.
