Media Rating Council (MRC) has recently completed a review process that has lasted for longer than a year, specifically targeting something in the digital media industry that has long been in question. They have actually given the go signal for measuring and transacting in regard to impressions for video ads, specifically ad impressions. This article will look at how this will change the ad impression metrics that have been standardized for so long, and what this will mean for the advertising industry on the whole for video ads that are displayed today.
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.
There simply asking that half of the pixels for both images and videos be viewed for one and two seconds, respectively. This continuous viewing is thought to not only provide a better way of determining whether an impression counts in the advertising world, but may have a definite impact on whether or not the ads are going to help motivate potential customers to click through to the website that is advertised.
For instance, one second of continuous display is the proposed change for all ads that are graphical. Video ads should be displayed for 2 seconds in order to be appropriately counted. This shift will augment the way that we see ads that are displayed, and how long they must be viewed in order to be actually considered an impression.
They believe that it will improve the digital landscape of online advertising when using ads and videos. The discrepancies that have been bantered about for many years are now set to be reconciled. These standardized measurements in regard to impression counts are going to change dramatically.
Now that you have a basic understanding of what MRC has proposed and done, you might want to chime in on how this will affect the way you surf the web, or your business for advertising. Examples of these changes are on the Internet as presented by IAB and MRC for the public to view and consider today.
