Advertising online often goes through significant changes from time to time depending upon the needs of advertisers, and the needs of the public. Whether you are looking at video ads, or traditional ones that use graphics and text, the way that you view them is about to change. It is very common for people to watch videos, or go to websites with information that they need, and see these types of advertisements presented.
Essentially, MRC has decided that ad metrics, specifically the impression metric, needs to change. Innovations Task Force in collaboration with MRC is looking at cross industry input as a result of substantial research in this field. They are changing the guidelines that have been in place for many years in regard to what an impression actually means.
For a year, the MRC has been reviewing something in digital media that needs to be changed in their opinion. Measuring impressions for ads that are displayed, either graphics or videos, needs to be modified to some degree. IAB's task force along with Media Rating Council believes that it is better to have impressions served in a different way.
Another thing that is worth noting is an impression advisory that was given back in March, and the guidelines for viewable ads, is open to a commenting period where the public can weigh in on this decision. There is also a gating period that will last about 90 days, at which point MRC will start shifting to this metric for measuring served impressions.
The proposed change as presented by the Emerging Innovations Task Force in combination with the efforts of MRC is to change the guidelines for what are called viewable impressions when people see ads on the web. Essentially, half of the pixels for both video and regular ads must be seen for two and one seconds, respectively.
If this duration is not met, it will not be considered an impression, something that will dramatically change the way people view these ads, and also how they are counted. The measurement guidelines for ad impressions that are viewable have been presented, and the public can comment on these changes. The gating period is over, with MRC claiming a milestone has been made in regard to changing the digital landscape of advertising.
