Over 50% Ads are NEVER seen by humans!

More than half of the digital impressions globally are non-viewable

What is Viewability? The industry standard as developed under the leadership of the Media Rating Council (MRC) calls for desktop display ads to be considered viewable if 50% of their pixels are in view for a minimum of one second and for desktop video that standard is 50% for 2 seconds. In addition, the standard stipulates that for larger desktop ad units, 30% of pixels in view for 1 second constitutes a Viewable ad.
According to comScore global report on advertising benchmarks, more than half of ads worldwide still don’t have the opportunity to be seen. The desktop display viewability ranges from 39%-50% across all markets. Video viewability is even lesser; this is due to IVT on programmatic video exchanges. If the targeted user leaves the page before it loads completely, he/she will miss the ad.
  • A lot of search and display ads are placed at the bottom of the webpage, so if the user does not scroll all the way down, it’s a lost cause for the advertiser.
  • If a proxy server, crawler or spider opens the page, there is no certain way to ascertain the measures.
In order to ensure visibility and derive the right returns on your investments, you must plan your advertisements with the right placement and communication.
Viewability leads to more efficiency and less wastage of ad inventory, clarity of reach and frequency of a campaign and better ROI analysis for the agencies and brands.
According to research, direct buys see higher viewability than their programmatic counterparts.


Digital Measurement is still evolving across the globe and it’s important for us in India to learn from global practices. India is still learning to act on this metric. The market is very fragmented, with more than 8000 advertisers, 12000+ brands, and 90000+ new campaigns every year.
Now you can imagine the advertising budgets that are getting wasted every single day!

Social Media Contribution, Participation, and Future

Social Media Landscape is broad. Sharing, Discussions, Networking, Media, Blogging, Microbligging, Livestream, Livecast, Virtual World, Gaming, Multiplayer games, Music, Video, Podcast, Review, Social Bookmarking, and Wiki. This is just a list of the beginning of social media. What started as e-mails, groups, and messenger, has now widened its scope, reach, depth, richness, interactivity, and quality.  The most challenging aspect of Social Media today is the way participation needs to be moderated, and a promotion of better quality content. On Websites like  Twitter  the trends keep changing in a very unexpected way, and there is no sense, pattern, or predictability behind them. E.g Osama Bin Laden was killed, and we witnessed about 12.4Million Tweets an hour! Lady Gaga, Eminem have such an amazing fan following on Social Media, that other celebrities are clueless about the reasons behind such madness. The participation of users never portrays a pattern on Social media, ...

Social Media Analysis, Analytic & Tools Overdose (via SMT)

Social Media is growing at a pace that can be best termed as "unstoppable." Thousands of social media tools  have been invented, launched and then failed.  The top social media platforms are reaching their maturity stage and look to be in a consolidating position, where their objectives and goals are set; and they know their potential. Financially, the major platforms seem to be on a profit making spree. Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn & YouTube stand out of the crowd, whereas Pinterest, Instagram, Quora, Google+ are making their way to the top, but still have a long way to go. But, what does the consumer do, where does he go from here? On one hand, I feel overwhelming by all the products, application, contents and activities offered by my social media networks. Yet, I'll admit, I'm practically addicted to my social media platforms, so I'm a rather vulnerable target of these marketing gimmicks. Recently, I read  5 Tips for Avoiding Social Media Burnout ...

Has the Facebook Page replaced The Web Site in India?

Brands are investing more and more on managing, maintaining and beautifying their  Facebook Page ! The main focus has shifted from The Web Site, which was always the primary destination of the Brand. Twitter ,  LinkedIn ,  Pinterest ,  YouTube  or  Blogs  do help to increase goodwill of the brand and be present across all the touch-points, but Facebook has emerged as the clear winner at least in the past 2 years. Possible Reasons: More Interactivity, Loyal Fan Base, Information Dissemination, Real-time Feedback and Insights. More Interactivity:  Fans can talk to the Brand, ask their queries, respond freely to the posts, complain about the product/service, and live the Brand Experience. Loyal Fan Base : As Facebook says, the Fans are here to "Like" the Brand Page for many reasons, right from getting free samples or waiting for product/service info or connecting with the brand ambassadors or playing interesting contests or supporting the...
