Statistics

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 conversions.

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.

  Data is displayed in New York time zone (EST or EDT). The only tab where you use a different time zone is the Hour sub-tab within Dates. In this breakdown, you can change the statistics time zone by selecting the corresponding country in the bottom right of the graph on this tab, choosing the corresponding time zone (if there are multiple), then clicking "Apply":

Filter settings​

exclude

When adding a filter, you can either Include or Exclude that filter.

When you choose to Incude a filter, you will limit the data to show only the segments that match the filter conditions. For instance, if you choose to Include Chrome Browser and Android OS, then you will only see the traffic that belongs to that specfic browser and OS.

If you choose to Exclude a filter, you will remove any data that matches any of the conditions you specify. For instance, if you choose to Exclude Chrome Browser and Android OS, then you won't see any traffic coming from that Browser or from that OS.

You can search for specific items within the chosen filter using the search bar. You can also select all available items within the filter by clicking the Select All checkbox. Lastly, you can review all your selected options by clicking the Show Selected Ony checkbox.

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 Conversions. The type of chart will vary depending on the tab:

  • In the Dates tab and in the Hour/Day Intervals tab, you can view two of the above items presented in two concurrent line and bar graphs. For Dates, you can break these down by Hour, Day, Week, Month or Year. For Hour/Day Intervals, you can break them down by Day of Week and Hour of Day.

Most of the tabs are broken down into sub-tabs. Clicking items in the General panel will drill down into the related sub-tab. 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 Conversions Panel​

goals

The Conversions panel shows the amount of conversions you generated and various additional metrics that determine the profitability of your campaigns:

  • Cnvs.: shows the amount of conversions generated for that specific goal.
  • eCPA (effective Cost Per Action): shows the actual price you paid to achieve each conversion.
  • CR (Conversion Rate): number of conversions divided by number of clicks.
  • CV (Conversion Value): value of the conversion. This column will show the value you assigned to the conversion goal during its set up (if you selected "Fixed" value) or will say "Dynamic", in case you selected "Dynamic" value. If you set the conversion goal as "No Value", then this column will be empty.

The following columns will only show data if you are passing the value of the conversion:

  • Revenue: the sum of the value from all the generated conversions.
  • Profit: your revenue minus the cost.
  • ROI (Return On Investment): your profit divided by the cost.

Profit and ROI can appear in 3 different colors:

  • The number is GREEN: ROI is more than 0%. Your return on investment is positive and you are paying less for each conversion than your COA.
  • The number is BLACK: ROI is equal to 0%. Your return on investment is almost OK. Check the detailed statistics of the campaign to improve some sources of traffic.
  • The number is RED: ROI is less than 0%. Your return on investment is negative and you are paying more for each conversion than you can afford (more than your COA). Check the sources of traffic and your campaign setup for errors.

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