Ad viewability answers a simple but crucial question: did the ad actually appear on screen long enough for someone to notice it? A display banner buried at the bottom of a page may count as “served” but won’t register as “viewed” if no one scrolls down.
Industry standards, like the Media Rating Council’s rule that 50% of pixels must be visible for at least one second, help advertisers separate valuable placements from wasted ones.
