Pixalate Aligns with the MRC SIVT Guidelines in Rolling Out New Advertising Analytics Metrics

Written by Christine Allee | Dec 17, 2016 1:35:00 AM

Pixalate, the industry’s leading data intelligence and fraud protection provider, will roll out new metrics and metrics groups in our advertising analytics dashboard in the next couple of weeks to align with Media Rating Council (MRC) SIVT guidelines as they relate to both Fraud and Viewability accreditation.  These additions are intended to strengthen existing processes with the goal of reducing the risk of invalid traffic and their associated costs.

The metrics will be categorized into these MRC approved groups:

Gross – Metrics before removal of Invalid Traffic


Net of GIVT – Metrics after removal of General Invalid Traffic


Net of All IVT – Metrics after removal of All Invalid Traffic


Filtered for GIVT – Metrics filtered as General Invalid Traffic


Filtered for SIVT – Metrics filtered as Sophisticated Invalid Traffic


In adding this level of granularity to our analytics reports, Pixalate gives advertising platforms, networks and brands confidence in what their viewability numbers really mean by providing maximum transparency into how non-human traffic is impacting viewability.
