Viewable Attention Formats (Cost Per Hour) Overview USD Gross Cost Per Hour means you are only paying for an hour of "Active View Time", which means that the ad not only meets the IAB definition of a viewable impression, but that there is also an actively engaged user on the web page. If we do not see any engagement with the web page within 5 seconds we stop counting time. Only impressions seen for 5 seconds or more are counted towards your goal of and hour, and no single impression is seen for more than 30 seconds, ensuring that you do not end up paying for over exposed ads.
