In Part 1 of our PubPower Report Guide, we introduced the <\/span>Overview Report<\/b><\/a>. That report helps publishers track high-level performance indicators such as revenue, impressions, eCPM, and fill rate.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this article, we will explain how to use the <\/span>Dimension Report<\/b>. This tool allows you to analyze your ad performance across various categories such as devices, ad formats, bidders, and supply types. By understanding how each dimension contributes to your earnings, you can make more informed decisions and uncover hidden revenue opportunities.<\/span><\/p>\n

What Is the Dimension Report?<\/b><\/h2>\n

The Dimension Report is a powerful analytics feature within the PubPower dashboard. It enables publishers to break down their ad performance by specific characteristics\u2014called dimensions\u2014such as <\/span>device type<\/b>, <\/span>ad unit<\/b>, <\/span>country<\/b>, or <\/span>demand source<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

This report allows you to move beyond general trends and analyze the <\/span>where<\/b>, <\/span>how<\/b>, and <\/span>why<\/b> of your ad revenue. For example, you can determine whether mobile traffic from the United States generates higher eCPMs than desktop traffic from Southeast Asia. You can also compare ad formats to identify which ones deliver the best balance between revenue and user experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why the Dimension Report Matters<\/b><\/h2>\n

The Dimension Report matters because it gives you <\/span>granular control<\/b> over your monetization strategy. Instead of making changes based on general trends, you can take <\/span>data-backed actions<\/b> based on specific segments of your audience or inventory.<\/span><\/p>\n

For instance, if you discover that a particular ad unit on mobile performs poorly, you can test a different layout or format just for that segment\u2014without affecting the rest of your setup.<\/span><\/p>\n

Additionally, the visual charts at the top of the Dimension Report allow you to quickly identify trends and compare performance across different data slices. The charts help you interpret complex data sets in a user-friendly format.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dimensions Available in the PubPower Report<\/b><\/h2>\n

The Dimension Report includes several categories that allow you to dissect your revenue performance. Below is a breakdown of each available dimension and its purpose:<\/span><\/p>\n

By Supply Type (Web vs. App)<\/b><\/h3>\n

Understand performance based on traffic environment.<\/span>
\n<\/span> \u2192 <\/span>Why it matters:<\/span><\/i> App and web behavior differ significantly. This view supports platform-specific optimizations.<\/span><\/p>\n

By Supply (Domain\/App Name)<\/b><\/h3>\n

Breaks down performance by specific websites or apps under your PubPower account.<\/span>
\n<\/span> \u2192 <\/span>Why it matters:<\/span><\/i> If you operate multiple properties, this helps you compare their efficiency and ROI side by side.<\/span><\/p>\n

By Country (Geo)<\/b><\/h3>\n

Shows how different regions contribute to impressions, revenue, and eCPM.<\/span>
\n<\/span> \u2192 <\/span>Why it matters:<\/span><\/i> Tier 1 countries like the US, UK, and Canada usually offer higher CPMs. This helps you prioritize traffic and content efforts in top-paying markets.<\/span><\/p>\n

By Device<\/b><\/h3>\n

Compare performance across desktop, mobile, and tablet.<\/span>
\n<\/span> \u2192 <\/span>Why it matters:<\/span><\/i> User behavior and ad format performance vary greatly by device. For example, sticky rail ads thrive on desktop, while anchor ads dominate on mobile.<\/span><\/p>\n

By Ad Unit<\/b><\/h3>\n

Analyzes performance by each placement you\u2019ve defined (e.g., \u201cTop Banner,\u201d \u201cSidebar\u201d).<\/span>
\n<\/span> \u2192 <\/span>Why it matters:<\/span><\/i> Helps you optimize your layout by scaling high-performers and reworking weak placements.<\/span><\/p>\n

By Ad Tag<\/b><\/h3>\n

Breaks down performance by the actual ad tag (code snippet) on the site or app.<\/span>
\n<\/span> \u2192 <\/span>Why it matters:<\/span><\/i> Use this for more technical or granular comparisons\u2014like different sizes or refresh settings under the same ad unit.<\/span><\/p>\n
