Re: AdMob's interstitial Impression

[Eric Leichtenschlag]

What error do you see in the logs when you try to request an interstitial? You can implement the AdListener's onFailedToReceiveAd callback (Android) or GADBannerView's didFailToReceiveAd:WithError delegate (iOS) to find out the error reason.

Thanks,
Eric

Can you post the code you use to make interstitial requests? The screenshot shows 0s, but that doesn't help figure out why that might be. It could be a coding issue or an AdMob front-end setup issue.

Thanks,

Eric

So that loads the ad, but an impression isn't recorded until the ad is received, and then you specifically show it. When are you calling interstitialAd.show()?

I've filed a bug for this. You're likely only enabled for CPC interstitials, and we might only be reporting impressions for CPM interstitials. I'll provide an update when we have more info.

Thanks,
Eric

[Easy Apps]

Dear Eric,

thanks for feedback.

how to enable CPM interstitials then?

CPM interstitials are only offered to a select limited group of publishers. It generally occurs when advertisers come to AdMob asking to run interstitials specifically on your app, then AdMob will contact you and let you know you've been enabled. Most pubs, therefore, are only able to serve CPC inventory that was only recently enabled. And it looks like the reporting hasn't picked up the new CPC format in terms of recording impressions the same way.

[Easy Apps]

quite clear now. thank you Eric.

Hi Eric,

We want to show CPM interstitials in two of our games. How can I apply for that? I can't see any setting in the Admob Control Panel. Do I need to apply for each game or is it a setting linked with the Publisher Account?

[Eric Leichtenschlag]

CPM interstitials isn't something you can apply for. An AdMob account manager will contact you if advertisers are interested in running such interstitials in your app. However, you can still get some CPC interstitial fill for app promo ads.

Thanks,
Eric

[Vasil Milosevski]

Hi Eric,

have similar problem with my test app. 

It's done in Flash, ad is showing properly on the phone, but in dashboard I see only requests, no impressions.

I'm using http://code.google.com/p/flash-air-admob-ane-for-ios/

And code is: 

admob.createADView(AdSize.BANNER, "X"); 

admob.addToStage(0, 0);

admob.load(true)

At first I thought it is fetching only requests from desktop (where no adds are shown), but not sure why it doesn't detect impressions from mobile then.

Can you help? Thanks in advance.

[Eric Leichtenschlag]

Hi Vasil,

I'm not familiar with flash air or the plugin. First of all, are you using banners or interstitials with the plugin? If interstitials, you'll need to show the interstitial after it's received. Either way, can you get any logcat output that has messages with the "Ads" tag? 

Thanks,
Eric

[Ankur Walia]

hi eric,
i implemented interstitial ads today in my app.they are being shown on mobile but in ad-mob reports, there are 0 impressions, although request is 397.
please help me with these.
thanks.

[Eric Leichtenschlag]

Hi Ankur,

I'm guessing you're still on old AdMob UI? Once of those impressions columns is always 0.

Thanks,
Eric 

[Ankur Walia]

HI Eric,

thanks for replying.I guess you are right, AdMob hasn't been rolled out yet for India.

So i guess i have to wait for that.

Same with me. Yesterday I implimented the code. On my test device and personal device all is working well, and the ads are showning. Only no sign that something is working in new Admob dashboard. It shows no requests, no count, no revenue,...

In class activity
        private static final String MY_INTERSTITIAL_UNIT_ID =  "ca-app-pub-XX/XX";
onCreate:
        interstitial = new InterstitialAd(this, MY_INTERSTITIAL_UNIT_ID);
        interstitial.loadAd(new AdRequest());
        interstitial.setAdListener(this);
After a given function is finished (in the same class)
        Random r=new Random();
        if (r.nextInt(5) == 0) {
            interstitial.show();
            interstitial.loadAd(new AdRequest());
        }
Here, with a given probability the loaded add will be shown and a new one will be loaded in advance. Is there a problem in the way I implemented this?.

[Kunal Verma]

Usually the reporting of interstitials for a day is updated the next day. ( as per the clock of AdMob dashboard, PST). If Ads are showing, you don't need to worry. 

But I didn't get, why you have implemented this random function?

Best,
Kunal

Note:- These delayed reporting only happened for the first couple of days with interstitials. Now, I check, its almost real-time. 

[Eric Leichtenschlag]

Hi Chris,

There is a problem with this implementation. You can't call interstitial.loadAd(new AdRequest()); directly after showing. The SDK will log a warning saying that the current request is still in the process of showing, and it'll ignore that loadAd call. And the next time the random number hits, you'll be trying to show an interstitial that hasn't loaded.

You'll want to call interstitial.loadAd(new AdRequest()) in the onDismissScreen() callback of the ad listener, and you'll also want to check interstitial.isReady() before calling interstitial.show().

Thanks,
Eric

I have same problem. I implemented Mediation with admob interstitials. The app shows interstitials correctly, but impressions always 0

[Swati Rawat]

I have the same problem. I have implemented the interstitials in my app but i don't see any impressions even though my requests are many... If interstitials are CPC and not CPM, does that mean we don't earn any revenue from them?

[Eric Leichtenschlag]

This looks like the old AdMob UI. In the old UI, this interstitial impressions column is broken and always reports 0. But this impression count should still show up under the general Impressions column.

[David M.T]

Hi Masa, the impression will show, you just need to wait a little, mostly they will be reflected on your account the following day

[Sudhaker D.R]

I don't know if the reporting tool has problem or google is deceiving us, but i observe the same behaviour in all my apps.

I have also observed by enabling only interstitial ads in my app from admob.

The app shows full screen ads and everything works perfectly in all the apps including clicks and diverts but impressions are always "Zero" including revenue which is also "Zero".

I think its time that I move on to other ad network.

PS: I have followed each and every step of the integration guide and please don't ask me if I did anything wrong. If I had done something wrong then it implies the guide and samples are also wrong.

[Narasimha Reddy]

Even for me with old Admob ... interstitial impression count is always zero and its not the issue of delayed reporting.

Even issue is there with Admob Meditiation ... reports are not matching with Admob network and other Ad Networks.

Requires more clarity and without reports we can't optimize our ad network settings and hence the revenue. They must provide better reports and correct data.
