Advertisers on Facebook\u2019s Audience Network will no longer have to worry that they\u2019re paying for users who accidentally clicked on their ads.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m betting we\u2019ve all had moments where we were scrolling or swiping or clicking through a website\/mobile app and we ended up clicking on an ad without really meaning to. (Those moments probably outnumber the times I\u2019ve intentionally clicked on an ad.)<\/p>\n

So Product Marketing Manager Brett Vogel said Facebook won\u2019t be charging for those clicks in its Audience Network (where Facebook runs ads in other apps<\/a>), and those clicks won\u2019t be included in the metrics shared with advertisers and publishers.<\/p>\n

Facebook is sorting out unintentional clicks by discounting instances where a user bounces back after two seconds or less. After all, if you clicked on an ad and then immediately clicked back, you probably didn\u2019t care about the ad.<\/p>\n

Still, Vogel said the two-second threshold is a \u201cstarting point\u201d that Facebook can adjust if necessary.<\/p>\n

Publishers may worry that this change could hurt their bottom line, but Vogel said the \u201cvast majority\u201d will not be affected, because their ads aren\u2019t driving a significant number of unintentional clicks. He added that Facebook is making the change for the good of the ecosystem.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnintentional clicks end up delivering really poor experiences for people and advertisers,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s not a good path for publishers to build sustainable businesses.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition, Facebook is also announcing that it\u2019s making new ad metrics available (it\u2019s been making a broader push<\/a> around this).<\/p>\n

Those metrics including gross impressions, a number that combines billable impressions with non-billable impressions \u2014 advertisers aren\u2019t paying for things like non-human traffic, but some of them have still asked to see the numbers. Facebook is also adding auto-refresh impressions (those are ad impressions for banners on the right-hand side) and gross auto-refresh impressions.<\/p>\n
