Investing in next generation of measurement on Youtube:
As you know the advertisers will spend a lot of money on advertising on Youtube promotion. In order to measure the effectiveness of campaign we need tools to measure the campaign performance. Generally, the advertisers use Pixel to track the performance of the video views by the users. Through pixels, we can track the report to the users who have seen the video in different ways ie, desktop, mobile apps, Youtube channel, video sites, etc. As we know Youtube is the 2nd largest search engine in the world generally 3 billion searches per month and 100 hours of videos are uploaded every month. While more than 70% of the users spend time on watching the videos on Mobile devices.
So Recently Google has released an update called Ads Data Hub to that allows the advertisers to understand how their campaign is performing across through screens, mobile apps, google ads platforms, including youtube, google ads, display, and video campaigns.
A Safe Approach to Manage Ad frequency:
As we have seen the ads while browsing the website, some of the users use extensions to block the ad copies by this advertisers may loose to show the ads to the users and publishers will get less revenue. So recently Google has given an update by using a machine learning to manage ad frequency by respecting the users’ privacy when 3rd party cookies are missing.
Using traffic patterns where a third-party cookie is available, and analyzing them at an aggregated level across Google Ad Manager publishers, we can create models to predict traffic patterns when a third-party cookie isn’t present. This allows us to estimate how likely it is for users to visit different publishers who are serving the same ads through Google Ad Manager. Then, when there is no third-party cookie present, we’re able to optimize how often those ads should be shown to users.
Since we aggregate all user data before applying our machine learning models, no user-level information is shared across websites. Instead, this feature relies on a publisher’s first-party data to inform the ad experience for its own site visitors. It’s an approach to managing ad frequency that’s more privacy safe than workarounds such as fingerprinting, which rely on user-level signals like IP address because it respects a user’s choice to opt-out of third-party tracking.
