Click rate

The click rate is the percentage of ad views that resulted in clickthroughs. Although there is visibility and branding value in ad views that don’t result in a clickthrough, this value is difficult to measure. A clickthrough has several values: it’s an indication of the ad’s effectiveness and it results in the viewer getting to the advertiser’s Web site where other messages can be provided. A new approach is for a click to result not in a link to another site but to an immediate product order window.
