You can learn more about how metrics are handled by visiting the Metrics page.
Once you populate your account with media for creating creatives, our platform will begin providing metrics related to all the media stored in your account.
This metric represents the total count of media stored by the user during the selected time period. It updates hourly and accumulates over a 24h period.
Example: This metric shows an increase in the amount of media in the library at some point in May. Later, some of that media was removed because it was no longer being used. It reached a peak of 2,000 media files and ended with nearly 500. It is important to note that BMS charges per media file and media size stored on the platform, so performing a cleanup from time to time might be useful.
This metric is populated by each media that has been displayed on a domain, after successfully winning an auction, the media will be downloaded to the end user's browser.
Example: If your creative has been created using media from BMS's Library, our platform can identify that the media has been downloaded in the end user's browser after winning the bidding. Then, the metric is populated, informing the performance of the media. In this graph, you can see that a peak of nearly 55,000 downloads was reached.
This metric represents the total bytes used upon media downloaded to the end user's browser, this metric will follow the same parameters as the download count if no creative size is changed.
Example: On this graph,you can see that the size of media downloaded peaked at nearly 6 to 7 GB. It is beneficial to work with this information to try reducing the size of your media, making it faster to be downloaded in the end user's browser, ensuring your ad will be shown.
This metric represents the total bytes of your media stored on BMS, size may vary according to the currently stored media.
Example: According to this metric, the size peaked at nearly 400 MB. However, after removing a few media files, it stabilized at around 200 MB and decreased further following another cleanup of the media library. Since the platform charges per byte stored in the library, it might be beneficial to perform cleanups from time to time, as well as check if any optimization is possible for your media's size.
This metric represents the total media uploaded during the selected time period. It updates each time you add media to your library.
Example: This metric shows that media were added to the library daily, reaching a peak of nearly 35 uploads in a single day. The number of uploads decreased afterward due to fewer media being added, this helps you keep track of how much of the library are you currently using to store your media.
This metric represents the total amount of data, in bytes, for your uploaded media. It helps you track how much storage you are using on BMS for each uploaded media file.
Example: Between May and June, there was a peak of 4 MB in uploads on a single day. This metric may differ from the Media Upload Count metric because each file varies in size, leading to minor differences, such as those observed during the transition from April to May. It is important to note that the size of a media file impacts how long the end user takes to download it on their browser.
The media's bills contain all bills related to media storage and download, it has a single section, in which all information will be detailed.
At BMS, it prioritizes transparency by displaying every detail of your bill. Visit our to understand how the bills are structured.
In the media section, all charges are related to downloading and storage. Any media downloaded to the end user's browser, including media you download, will count as a download request. This request will incur charges based on the bytes transferred during the download. Additionally, stored media will be charged on a 720-hour basis, according to the amount of media stored per hour and the bytes consumed per hour.
Example: On this bill, it is noted that the media has been downloaded 5,130,054 times, resulting in a charge of $51.30. The total data transferred from all these requests amounted to 142.175 GB, leading to an additional charge of $142.18. Media storage costs were minimal, at $0.06, due to a small number of media files in the library and a short storage duration. After summing all the charges, the total amount is $193.54.
Every time we create a creative, creative group or Ad, the respective file will be uploaded to your media library, making it available for future use. In the library, you can manage your files.
When checking the Details Tab of each media, you will be provided with all information regarding that selected media.
We provide a brief metric for each media, by informing how many times has the media been downloaded and how many bytes have been used.
If no media is selected, you will be presented with Account-wide metrics.
After selecting all media that you want to upload, you have the option to rename them and set tags to better identify your media.
Attention! We advise users to archive media instead of deleting, this action cannot be undone and you will lose your file if you do not have a backup file, the previously collected metrics data will be deleted as well.
These are all the metrics available in the Media product for analyzing the storage of your media. Additionally, when checking metrics, you can always check our to access additional information about a specific metric.
All products generate metrics once you start using them. These metrics are charged and are crucial for understanding your BMS platform usage and performance. The is responsible for these metrics and will display the related bill. BMS is focused on transparency and will show you the costs for all features within each product.
