Creative size (Deprecated)  
Size of creative that served to the ad slot request. Creative size doesn't represent the actual size of a creative being served. This dimension represents the "Targeted Ad Unit Size" of the creative which is served. Since a Creative size can only be associated with filled impressions, this dimension is not compatible with the Unfilled impressions metric.

When the Creative size dimension is included in a report, companion delivery that is otherwise rolled up under master delivery is surfaced, so you may see higher totals than expected.

This dimension is deprecated. Use "Creative size (delivered)" instead.

Reports  Historical
Label  Delivery

Creative size (delivered)
The size of the ad slot where creatives are served from Ad Manager or Ad Exchange. This value may differ from the creative size reported in Ad Exchange. Possible values include:

  • Audio: Audio ads 
  • Fluid: Google rendered Native & Fluid ads
  • Interstitial: Interstitial ads
  • Native: Custom rendered native ads
  • Video/Overlay: Video ads
  • <width>x<height>: Fixed-size ads

Any other values show as "Unknown".

Note: This dimension can't appear in the same report as the "Unfilled impressions" metric. They are incompatible.

Ad Exchange impression numbers reported using this dimension may differ from the legacy "Creative Size" dimension due to how "Creative Size (delivered)" counts some Google Ads text ads.

How this dimension differs from "Creative size":

  • Reports on the size of the ad slot where creatives are served from Ad Manager or Ad Exchange, rather than the creative size configured on a line item.
  • Creatives sit within an ad slot and depending on response size, may be smaller than the ad slot reported.
  • May not match the creative size reported in Ad Exchange.

  • Sent to winner
  • Not sent to winner

Secure signal sharing is a processor feature that lets publishers pass obfuscated signals (such as user IDs) to third-party bidders on RTB bid requests. 

Shows how including secure signals and sending them to bidders can impact metrics, such as Total impressions and Total CTR. 

Likely, the Bidder hasn't chosen to receive the signal(s) if you see a combination of:

  • "Secure signal delivery = Not sent to winner" with
  • "Secure signal presence = Present", and
  • You've successfully completed your secure signals implementation.

Classification is non-exhaustive. Some values may appear as "(Not applicable)" and this is expected behavior.

When an advertiser uses creatives associated with different landing pages, Ad Manager won't be able to determine the specific creative that will serve in advance. Instead, Ad Manager will check the advertiser mappings for each landing page and randomly report the affiliated advertiser.

Serving restriction

Shows performance distributed by serving restriction. If an ad call can be subject to multiple restrictions, only the first match from the order below will be reported. Reporting figures won't overlap.

  • Limited ads: Traffic where only limited ads can serve. This matches ad calls that include either the parameter ltd=1, gad_has_consent_for_cookies=0, or a TC string which does not signal the purpose 1 consented while signalling legal bases for the purposes 2, 7, 9, and 10.
  • Restricted data processing (RDP): Includes traffic where the publisher requested restricted data processing using the tagging parameter or the network control.
  • Non-personalized ads (NPA): Includes traffic where the publisher requested non-personalized ads using the tagging parameter or the network control.
  • Basic ads: Traffic where only IAB TCF v2.0 basic ads are eligible to serve. This matches users whose provided TC string includes consent for purpose 1 and legal bases for purposes 2, 7, 9, and 10, but no consent for purposes 3 or 4.
  • Personalization disabled: Traffic where personalization was disabled by the mobile device’s user controls, other user personalization opt-out controls, or other cases where personalization wasn't feasible.
  • No restriction: Traffic without any of the restrictions listed above.

Some ad requests may fall into multiple categories in this list. In these cases, the ad request is sorted into the first applicable category according to the order shown here.

Policy restrictions are not included in the Serving restrictions dimension and should be reviewed in the Policy center.

Creative technology
Type of technology used to serve the creative. Possible values are "AMPHTML", "Standard HTML", "Custom HTML", "Video", or "Other". Data for this dimension is only available for campaigns that served after March 3, 2018.
Reports  Historical

Unified pricing rule

The unified pricing rule used to set the price applied to programmatic demand.

"No pricing rule applied" may mean that the impression was unfilled, there was no matching unified pricing rule, or the auction candidate was ineligible for unified pricing rule filtering. (For example,  Standard or Sponsorship line items).
 
Any price set applies to Open Auction and Private Auction traffic across Open Bidding and Ad Exchange that matches the targeting criteria, including First Look. Traffic from Ad Exchange and AdSense backfill is subject to the unified pricing floor.
 
When the floor is set using target CPM, Ad Manager attempts to achieve a target CPM across all inventory sources that are covered by the unified pricing rule. Therefore, if a unified pricing rule report is broken out granularly but doesn’t include rows for all covered inventory sources, you may see “Average eCPM” values that are below the rule’s target CPM. Learn more about activating CPM on unified pricing rules.
 
Note: In the above description, "price" or "pricing" refers to either target CPM or floor prices.

Possible values include:

  • Active: A user identifier was present and active.
  • Restricted: A user identifier was present, but its usage was restricted by how cookies may be used. For example, personalization is not allowed.
  • Missing: A user identifier wasn't present.
Note: This dimension only reports values based on third-party IDs.

In comparison to "Third-party ID status," "User identifier status" first checks permissions, then ID presence. Because it checks permissions first it may have the value "restricted," even if no ID is present.

This dimension was previously called "User cookie status."

Advertiser domain (Beta) 
Shows performance by advertiser URL. For example, Big Soda Pop Co. might map to a domain name of delicious.cola.com.

Provides more transparency into advertisers whose identities are not otherwise available. This dimension sometimes makes large-volume reports run more slowly.

  • Web caches and others: Domains that are associated with ad servers are grouped here, including Ad Manager and third-party, because we only report on the top-level domain. So if an ad server domain includes redirect parameters, we truncate the full URL, even though the request is valid and may be associated with revenue and impressions.

    You may want to combine this dimension with the "Advertiser (classified)" dimension, as we can often identify the advertiser associated with such domains.

  • Unknown: This dimension shows the top 10,000 advertiser domains across Ad Exchange and Open Bidding, ranked by revenue. Any advertiser beyond this limit is placed into the "unknown" category.

Reports that use the “Advertiser domain” dimension will show 100% Ad Exchange Coverage for all rows except "(unknown)". For this reason, Ad Exchange Ad Requests and Ad Exchange Coverage should be disregarded for those rows.

In some scenarios, such as RTB ads, the advertiser domain may be one of multiple submitted domains and we don't know the specific creative chosen to be served. In this case, the advertiser domain reported is one randomly chosen from the list of possible domains.

"Not Applicable" indicates incompatibility with Ad server, AdSense, and Mediation demand channels.

Reports  Historical
Label  Delivery

Advertiser vertical (Beta) 
Shows performance by specific advertiser categories, such as Arts & Entertainment and Travel & Tourism. Helps understand performance across different advertiser segments.

The categories displayed are identical to the ones that publishers can block.

When combined with dimensions such as "Buyer networks" and "Advertisers (classified)," this dimension can provide information to effectively allocate inventory and adjust pricing strategies to include high-value advertiser segments.

Why do I see "Unknown" values?
A very small number of impressions can't be categorized. And in some instances, specific advertisers can't be mapped to an Advertiser vertical.

This dimension is best used when combined with other data such as "Advertisers (classified)" and "Buyer network." Reports that use the "Advertiser vertical" dimension will show 100% Ad Exchange Coverage for all rows except "(unknown)". For this reason, Ad Exchange Ad Requests and Ad Exchange Coverage should be disregarded for those rows.

"Not Applicable" indicates incompatibility with Ad server, AdSense, and Mediation demand channels.

Reports  Historical
Label  Delivery

Buying agency (Deprecated)  
Shows performance by buying agency. Not all buyers pass the agency name. As a result, if we don’t show a name, we may display "(unknown)" or "(No agency)."

Reports that use the "Buying agency" dimension will show 100% Ad Exchange Coverage for all rows except "(Unmatched ad requests)." For this reason, Ad Exchange Ad Requests and Ad Exchange Coverage should be disregarded for those rows.

"Not Applicable" indicates incompatibility with Ad server, AdSense, and Mediation demand channels.

Programmatic deal ID (Beta) 

Shows performance of Preferred Deals, Private Auction, and Programmatic Guaranteed (Standard and Sponsorship). 

The Programmatic deal ID is a system-generated number used to identify a deal between a buyer and a publisher. Shows "0" if no Preferred Deal, Private Auction, or Programmatic Guaranteed was involved.

Note: Some buyers may submit multiple bids at the same price for a single auction through different auction package deals, which aren't reported in Google Ad Manager. For these types of bidding, the Programmatic deal ID value is the auction package deals IDfor Open Auction demand channel.

How this dimension differs from "Ad request size":

  • Reports on all ad sizes in each request to reflect multi-size inventory more accurately.

  • Compatible with filters to limit the sizes included.
  • Format: WxH (no spaces, comma-separated).

Channel (Beta) 
Shows publisher performance by inventory segment. Sometimes, there may be multiple channels with the same name.

When the Channel dimension is included in a report or you choose it as a filter, the report aggregates the data from all the like-named channels and displays the combined data in the report results. This may lead the calculated total ad requests to exceed the actual total number of ad requests. Inventory that isn't associated with any channel will be excluded from the report.

Applies to Ad Exchange and Open Bidding. Shows "(Not applicable)" for other demand channels.

URL (Beta) 
Shows publishers the performance of their domains, subdomains or pages for URLs defined under "Inventory." Ad requests are only counted for URLs that have been defined under "Inventory."

Applies to Ad Exchange and Open Bidding. Shows "(Not applicable)" for other demand channels. 

If you use subdomains and include the “URL” dimension in reports, your impression and revenue numbers may be inflated. Say that you have a site with a base domain of example.com and the subdomains one.example.com and two.example.com. If you include the URL in your report, data for the subdomains gets counted twice (as part of both the base domain and the subdomain), thus overstating impressions and revenue. Including the “Site” dimension can provide more accurate numbers, but this data also may include impressions to sites that you don’t control or that don’t have your ad tag directly on them.

App ownership status
Easily filter reports by my claimed apps with App ownership status. Values include the following:

  • Owned means you've successfully claimed the app as yours.
  • Not owned means you haven't claimed the app as yours.
  • Not applicable means the App ID is not available.

The app must be confirmed through app readiness before you claim the app as owned. The app then goes through an approval process where the app receives a status.

App status is at the time of analysis, not at the time of the ad event.
