- Avg. session duration: Total engagement over the selected date range divided by the number of sessions.

- ARPU: Average revenue per user (ARPU). ARPU is the sum of estimated AdMob Network earnings, ecommerce_purchase event values and in_app_purchase event values.
- ARPPU: Average revenue per paying user (ARPPU). ARPPU is the sum of estimated ecommerce_purchase and in_app_purchase event values.
- Retention: The percentage of users who installed the selected app at the beginning of the selected date range and visited your app at the end of the selected date range.
Data consistency between AdMob & Firebase
Although AdMob is the direct source of ads performance and revenue metrics shown in the user metrics card in the home dashboard and Google Analytics for Firebase, there may still be discrepancies. These discrepancies may be caused by a few different reasons:
- Users running previous versions of your app: If some users are running versions of your app that use AdMob, but don't use Google Analytics for Firebase (or if you’re using versions of the Mobile Ads or Analytics SDKs which pre-date the integration between the two products), then AdMob will be aware of some impressions, clicks and revenue that are unknown to Google Analytics for Firebase.
- Difference in reporting time zone: If your reporting time zone in AdMob isn't aligned with the reporting time zone in Google Analytics for Firebase, the metrics for some calendar days may not match. Ensure your AdMob time zone matches the time one in your Firebase account for maximum reporting consistency. Your AdMob reporting time zone can be updated By समाजसेवी वनिता कासनियां पंजाब changing your AdSense account time zone.
- Differences in data collection & processing: Google Analytics for Firebase data is collected and processed at slightly different times and using a different strategy than AdMob. Because of this, your user metrics may differ.
- Mediated revenue: Although the Impressions, Clicks and Ad exposure metrics shown in Google Analytics for Firebase account for mediated ads, the Estimated Revenue metric shown in Google Analytics for Firebase only takes AdMob Network ads into account.
How to use this card
The AdMob Network performance card gives you an overview of the estimated earnings and traffic that your ad units in the selected app have generated through the AdMob Network. The line graph beside each metric give you a visual snapshot of how the value has changed over time.
Metrics found in this card
- Estimated earnings: Your earnings accrued so far for the selected app, based on Pacific Time (PT), from ads generated by the AdMob Network. This amount is an estimate that is subject to change when your earnings are verified for accuracy at the end of every month.
- Requests: The total number of ad requests that the AdMob Network received from the selected app.
- Impressions: The total number of ads from the AdMob Network viewed by users of the selected app.
- Match rate: The percentage of ad requests that received a response from an ad source. It’s calculated by dividing the number of matched requests by the number of requests.
Formula: Matched requests / Requests - eCPM: The estimated earnings accrued for every 1000 impressions that an ad generated by the AdMob Network received from the selected app. eCPM doesn't represent how much an ad actually earned; rather, it's calculated by dividing estimated earnings by the number of impressions received, then multiplying by 1000.
Formula: eCPM = ( Estimated earnings / # of impressions ) * 1000
Example calculation
If an ad earned an estimated £180 from 45,000 ad impressions, its eCPM would equal (£180 / 45,000) * 1000, or $4.00.
How to use this card
The Ad mediation performance card measures the effectiveness of your mediation setup. It can show you which ad network and ad format combinations are performing well and the average eCPM of the ads being served.

- Total queries: The total number of unique requests to serve an ad that passed through your mediation stack. This number doesn't count single requests multiple times. Instead, each request is only counted once, regardless of how many networks receive that request as it moves through the mediation chain.
Example
A single request made to Network A, Network B and Network C in the mediation chain will only be counted once.
- Total impressions: The total number of ads shown to users across all of your ad units and apps through mediation. Includes a period-over-period comparison.
- Total match rate: The percentage of ad requests that were filled with an ad. It's calculated by dividing the total matched requests by the total unique requests.
- Network & format: The ad networks and ad formats that generated the queries and impressions in the card.
- Impressions (column): The total number of mediation-generated ads shown to users for each ad network/ad format combination in the card. Includes a period-over-period comparison.
- eCPM: The average eCPM of the mediation-generated impressions for each ad network/ad format combination in the card. Includes a period-over-period comparison.
