Pixalate Inc., the global leader in fraud protection and data intelligence, is pleased to announce a new addition to our growing platform of programmatic Seller Trust rankings, the Video Seller Trust Index (VSTI). With Programmatic Video advertising spending expected to reach $10.3 billion dollars this year and 14% of all digital advertising spending (eMarketer), now more than ever marketers and brands need a comprehensive view of the platforms, sellers and networks in the online video marketplace.
The VSTI uses the same powerful metrics as the other Indexes - Reach, SIVT (Sophisticated Invalid Traffic), and GIVT (General Invalid Traffic) - but adds the new video-centric components GRP, Player Size and Engagement. With our new xGRP ranking, Pixalate has updated the old broadcast media buying standard for successful campaigns. Our Player Size ranking values sellers offering more Large Player video (480 x 320 and higher) Connected TV and Mobile inventory.
SpotX claimed the top spot in our first ever rankings. See the Top Ten and other key findings below.
Among ConnectedTV/OTT platforms, the Roku player was most commonly victimized with 59% of impressions being falsely offered by Sellers.
Additional notable findings include:

Per the MRC, “'Fraud' is not intended to represent fraud as defined in various laws, statutes and ordinances or as conventionally used in U.S. Court or other legal proceedings, but rather a custom definition strictly for advertising measurement purposes. Also per the MRC, “‘Invalid Traffic’ is defined generally as traffic that does not meet certain ad serving quality or completeness criteria, or otherwise does not represent legitimate ad traffic that should be included in measurement counts. Among the reasons why ad traffic may be deemed invalid is it is a result of non-human traffic (spiders, bots, etc.), or activity designed to produce fraudulent traffic.”
