A publisher's traffic is almost always distributed across various countries and channels. The current digital media landscape also demands that multiple revenue streams are used to maximize ad revenue, therefore contributing revenue from multiple sources as well. 

To effectively analyze performance and understand it, publishers need the ability to drill-down and see how they are performing across these various dimensions. For example, understanding which country is generating the most revenue, which traffic channel displays the highest engagement metrics, and which article is bringing in the most money is invaluable information that facilitates a profound understanding of performance with the insight to support decision making. 

Collecting this information across all the revenue streams and different data providers publishers use is not easy. It requires a high degree of data instrumentation and extrapolation. 

Regardless of the challenges, Marfeel does this for publishers in Insight. We collect massive data sets and then enrich them by normalizing them, so publishers can read the numbers the right way.

Several filters are available to accurately inspect multiple dimensions of a publisher's engagement and revenue metrics for a much clearer understanding of performance.

Dimensions

The primary dimension filters in Insight provide a range of categories to filter the metrics on the Reporting page by.

By default, the primary dimension is set to Tenant URI, meaning that the metrics for all tenants in a publisher's media group will be displayed; the individual tenants themselves are listed below in the tenants list section.

Publishers can then apply a secondary dimension to drill down further into the metrics displayed. To apply a secondary dimension:

  1. Click +Add filter.
  2. Select Secondary Dimension.
  3. Select the dimension you want to filter by and then click Apply. 

The dimensions available are:

Date

By default, all the metrics shown on the Reporting page is for the current day's figures.

You can also apply a time filter to measure your Marfeel mobile site's KPIs over a defined time period to account for variance and fluctuations.

To apply a time filter:

  1. Click the Date field.
  2. Select one of the pre-determined filters displayed or enter the time period you want to define by clicking the calendar icons in the From and To fields and selecting your dates of interest.
