Ad revenue reporting discrepancy

[Eldar Tsafar]

I'm experiencing discrepancies between ad revenue reported in Admob adPaidEvent and the actual revenue in Android app.

Screenshot attached of custom ad impression revenue event reported from SDK and the automated ad_impression event.

Hi Eldar,

Thank you for getting back to us. However, I've remove your post as app ids should be sent privately.

Moving on to your concern, please do note that the adPaidEvent adValue method does not always returns the actual revenue of the ad served into your app.  You may refer to the precision type which tells you the description of the monetary value returned by the AdValue method.

Hi Eldar,

 

As per our documentation, the best practices for to avoid discrepancies is to send the impression-level ad revenue information to your preferred analytics server immediately at the time the onPaidEvent() method is called. This ensures you don't accidentally drop any callbacks and avoids data discrepancies.

Hey,

This is exactly what I'm doing but I still experiencing big differences, I tried everything but still can't figure out what causing the discrepancies.

My event count is almost the same as the automatic ad_impression event, just the value (revenue) is different, which indicates on wrong data passed through onPaidEvent.

Hey,

I think I have found the issue.

I'm using AdMob mediation in live bidding, one of the adapters is Pangle and the revenue reported is much higher then the actual revenue.

Can you investigate it? Let me know what you need from my side.
