Clicks

The total number of user clicks your campaign items received.

Impressions

The total number of times your campaign items loaded on the page. Each time your campaign item is displayed, it’s counted as one impression.

Viewable Impressions

The total number of times your campaign items are seen by users. Each time your campaign item is on the screen for 1 second (per MRC standards), it’s counted as one impression.

Spent

This is the total spend for your campaign for the selected time period.

ROAS

The ratio of annotations that viewers clicked to the total number of clickable annotation impressions

CTR

This measures the percentage of users who clicked on your campaign items. CTR is calculated by dividing the number of clicks for your campaign items by the number of impressions for your campaign items.

Viewable CTR

This measures the percentage of users who clicked on the campaign items that were seen by users. Viewable CTR is calculated by dividing the number of clicks for your campaign items by the number of viewable impressions for your campaign items.

CPM

The amount you pay per one thousand impressions of your campaign items. For example, if your CPM is $0.25, it means you have paid $0.25 for every 1,000 impressions of your campaign items.

VCPM

The amount you pay per one thousand viewable impressions of your campaign items. For example, if your Viewable CPM is $0.25, it means you have paid $0.25 for every 1,000 viewable impressions of your campaign items.

CPC

The average amount you have been charged per click. This is calculated by dividing the total cost of your clicks by the total number of clicks.

CPA

This is the amount you pay for each of the conversions you defined - such as a product purchase, pageview or email signup. To calculate a campaign’s average CPA, divide the total amount of money spent by the number of conversions. For example, if you spend $500 and get 10 conversions, your CPA is $500/10 = $50.

Average Conversion Rate

The percentage of visitors from your Taboola campaigns who completed a conversion (purchase, pageview, etc.). Conversion rate is calculated by dividing the number of users who completed a conversion by the number of users who clicked on your campaign items.
