   You can also find additional metadata sections that you can expand to learn more about the ad:

   You can also find additional metadata sections that you can expand to learn more about the ad:

   • Metrics: Performance-related information such as impressions.
     • Impressions shows you the number of impressions per day an ad has had over the past 30 days. You can use the chart to see if an ad has served recently, or if an ad has stopped serving altogether. Note that an ad that hasn't served recently could still show again (unless it's been blocked), but it's less likely the longer the ad doesn't show.
     • Clickthrough rate (CTR) is the percentage of impressions that led to a click. This chart helps give you insight into an ad’s performance, but may not be the final figure reflected in your reporting.
   • Advertiser: Information about the Google Ads account that owns the ad.

     To block all ads from the Google Ads account, click Block account.

     All ads from this Google Ads account will now always be blocked. This applies to all targeting types (contextual, interest-based, and placement).

     Note: Blocking ads from a Google Ads account may have a negative impact on your revenue.
   • Video: Video-related information such as duration, framerate, bits per second, etc. Note this section only appears for video ads.
   • Audio: Audio-related information such as codec, sample, bitrate, etc. Note this section only appears for audio ads.
   • Categories: Information about the ad categories the ad belongs to. Learn more about blocking general ad categories in AdSense.
