My website tracking software is registering more impressions than my DM account -- why is there a discrepancy?

To provide more accurate information about ad performance, we count impressions only when the DM JavaScript is executed by a user's browser. Therefore, the impressions listed in your DM Publisher account may differ from statistics reported by third parties. For example, DM doesn't count impressions generated by:

  • Other spiders, robots, crawlers from other search engines
  • Browsers that don't have JavaScript enabled or don't support JavaScript
  • Browsers that don't support the iFrame tag
  • Programs that people may have written to grab website content

What are CPM / CPC and CPA ads?

CPM stands for "cost per 1000 impressions", this means revenue in your account each time a CPM ad is served to your page.

CPC stands for "cost per click" this means revenue in your account each time a CPC ad is clicked.

CPA stands for "cost per action" this means revenue in your account each time a CPA ad predefined condition is fulfilled.
