The Advanced Reports sub-section of the Statistics section allows you to generate reports for blanks, keywords, platform, and domain statistics. Each report also has a counterpart for VAST ads, with the exception of domain statistics.
Blank Log Statistics
This lets you generate a report that shows the ad requests, impressions, responses, and blanks within a chosen period.
A blank is an ad request that doesn't lead to a response or an impression. For normal display ads, responses are the same as an impression. For demand source ads, responses are wins, while impressions are views. For VAST ads, responses are the same as a request.
There are several factors that could lead to blanks. It could simply be because a campaign is not active. It may be because of your delivery and pacing, targeting, and other assignment settings. If you're using programmatic advertising, there may be times that demand sources cannot find a suitable ad for your setup. This report may help you analyze and adjust your setup to optimize your inventory.
When creating a Blank Log Statistics report, you can choose to show all data, or only data from specific publishers or zones. Click on the gear icon to choose the types of statistics to include in the report.
Keyword Statistics
