highlights the state of media quality in U.S. online
advertising. Integral processes billions of impressions

Brand Risk, Viewability, and Ad Fraud.

impressions were Adult Content and Violence.
• Viewability for display impressions ranged from

completion, only 20% were actually in view to
the users.
• Fraud levels of display impressions for Networks
and Exchanges are more than four times higher
than direct publishers.
