CTR (Click Through Rate) CTR is an acronym for Click Through Rate. The CTR is calculated by looking at how many times a particular ad was displayed (impression) and how many times that particular ad was clicked by a website visitor. For example, a Linkword ad that has been displayed 1000 times and clicked on 15 times would have a CTR of 1.5%. To calculate the CTR divide the number of times a particular advertisement was clicked by the number of impressions for that advertisement: CTR = Clicks / Impressions
The average cost per click is an average of how much revenue a single advertisement generates each time it is clicked. Some Linkwords may have several advertiser placing bids on the keyterm so that their listing will be displayed. Some advertisers may bid $1.00 for a particular keyword, while another advertiser may bid $0.25 for the same keyword. The Linkwords adserver displays advertisements based on a proprietary rotating algorithm which may display different advertisements at different times. The ACPC is determined by calculating all of the clicks for a particular keyword and dividing this number into the total cost incurred for all of the clicks for that keyword. For example, the total number of clicks for a particular keyword may be equal to 100, with a total cost of $27.00 incurred for these clicks. The ACPC would be equal to $0.27. ACPC = Total Cost / Total Clicks | |
