Pixalate, the industry’s leading data intelligence and fraud protection provider, will roll out new metrics and metrics groups in our advertising analytics dashboard in the next couple of weeks to align with Media Rating Council (MRC) SIVT guidelines as they relate to both Fraud and Viewability accreditation. These additions are intended to strengthen existing processes with the goal of reducing the risk of invalid traffic and their associated costs.
The metrics will be categorized into these MRC approved groups:
Gross – Metrics before removal of Invalid Traffic
Net of GIVT – Metrics after removal of General Invalid Traffic
Net of All IVT – Metrics after removal of All Invalid Traffic
Filtered for GIVT – Metrics filtered as General Invalid Traffic
Filtered for SIVT – Metrics filtered as Sophisticated Invalid Traffic
In adding this level of granularity to our analytics reports, Pixalate gives advertising platforms, networks and brands confidence in what their viewability numbers really mean by providing maximum transparency into how non-human traffic is impacting viewability.

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.”
