3 in 10 display ads delivered are never seen, often because users fail to scroll down the webpage or scroll too fast

A U.S.-based vCE™ Charter Study of 12 national advertisers found that, on average, only 69 percent of the ad impressions were delivered in-view*. The remaining 31 percent of ad impressions never had the opportunity to be seen by the consumer, a likely result of a consumer scrolling past the ad before it loaded or a consumer never scrolling the ad in to view. Across all 18 campaigns evaluated in the study, in-view rates ranged from 55 percent to 93 percent, demonstrating varying degrees of wasted impressions.

In-View ad rates
