Cost Per View
Cost Per View measures the average cost of a qualified video view, with platform-specific definitions of what constitutes a billable view. Common view criteria include watching 2-30 seconds, 50% of video in view for 2 continuous seconds, or user-initiated plays. This metric helps evaluate video ad spending efficiency and compare performance across platforms, formats, and campaigns.
Cost Per ThruPlay
Cost Per ThruPlay measures the average cost to achieve a ThruPlay, which is either a complete video view for content under 15 seconds or a 15-second watch for longer videos. This metric helps evaluate the efficiency of video ad spending in delivering complete messages to viewers.
View Rate
View Rate measures the percentage of video ad impressions that achieve platform-defined view duration thresholds. This metric helps evaluate initial content engagement and creative effectiveness, with view definitions varying by platform (e.g., 2 seconds for Facebook, 30 seconds for YouTube).
