Ok, sorry I have not been around for a while. I really don't feel deserving of receiving any help as I have been unable to offer any myself lately. But, perhaps I will again have the time and health to productively contribute to the forum.

In the meantime, although I utilize the other information available, just what the heck is API Impressions anyway?

Ok. Think I found enough to 'assume' what API Impressions are....

If you use Google Shopping to find products and click on them then that is simply impressions and clicks.

If you go to one of these places like Shopzilla or Alibaba or one of the many others that make suggestions to web users, then they use a program to contact Google and extract products from various stores and list them all together like Google does... They use an API to access Google to get the ingformation. That access would be classified as an API Impression.

Still not really sure what significance it has to me as a retailer.
