Written by Myles Younger | Apr 17, 2014 4:19:00 PM

ExactDrive’s Self-Serve Advertising Platform now offers real-time advertising and campaign reporting. Defaulted by Eastern Standard Time and updated hourly, the advertising and campaign reporting sections display analytics on advertiser, campaign ad creative levels. Impressions, clicks, and conversion data is provided along with creative attribution and transparent domain level analytics. In short, users are able to easily pull reports at-will for any advertiser and campaign being managed, down to the domain level or performance per creative. Any report pulled is exportable and can be adjusted and branded to the users’ needs.

The NEW Face of Robust Advertising Analytic Reporting

A major advantage of online advertising is the ability to reach a wide audience for a fraction of what it would cost in traditional advertising. Another beneficial element of online advertising is the ability to quickly and accurately measure the performance of online marketing programs. There are several ways to trace, measure and test results, which allows for an easier process to optimize online advertising campaigns and estimate return on investment (ROI).
