And, yes, you’re right that views and ad impressions have been best buds for a long time. Not questioning why they both remain as metrics, more suggesting that they shouldn’t be seen as important as they are and we have the opportunity to get smarter, richer information out of them with new, more sophisticated metrics.

Both views and impressions have been used as a mark for cost/spend because there hasn’t really been much else to point to beyond “did this ad/piece of content load on someone’s browser? yes? great. check that box. pay that $$.” But, as you know, the main problem there is who’s to say someone actually saw that ad or that browser tab was even active or they never scrolled down to see it and if they did see it for how long was it viewable on their page? The same, and potentially much more, goes for content. There are lots of questions that page views and impressions don’t answer that we know engagement metrics can.

Sorry about the delay in response here, but I’d love to delve into the issue and sort out what the problem is. This definitely shouldn’t be the case. Which browser are you using and on what pages are you seeing this? Please hit me up at bens@chartbeat.com. Thanks and sorry for the temporary convenience!

Jeff, your observation/accusation is an extremely significant concern, and one that I’m surprised hasn’t been met with any sort of answer or response whatsoever by an employee at chartbeat or someone in the know. This is especially true given the fact that all other questions or open-ended statements in this blog’s comment-string have been answered. Yours Jeff is the only exception.

So I’d like to reiterate the above statement and ask: “Does Chartbeat’s analytics code cause ANY disturbance such as the hourglass and the loading popup in direct contradiction with your FAQ statement?” Please let me know.

Thank you,
Christian Hunter

Sorry, but nothing to release for android yet. Our dashboard is made entirely of HTML5 so it works fine in your browser though!
