Click-through Rate

Click-through

rate (CTR) is a metric used to measure the effectiveness of online advertising campaigns and the engagement level of website

visitors. It represents the percentage of users who click on a specific link

or advertisement out of the total number of people who view it.

CTR

is commonly used in various digital marketing

channels, such as search engine

advertising, display advertising, email marketing, and social media

campaigns. It provides insights into how successful an ad or promotional content is in attracting user attention and driving them to take action.

To calculate CTR, the number of clicks on a particular link or ad is divided by the total number of impressions it receives and multiplied by 100. For example, if an ad receives 1000 impressions and generates 50 clicks, the CTR would be 5% (50/1000 * 100).

A higher CTR indicates that the ad or link is more compelling and relevant to the target audience, resulting in a greater number of users clicking on it. A low CTR, on the other hand, suggests that the ad may not be effectively capturing user interest or that it is not reaching the right audience.

CTR is influenced by various factors, including the ad’s positioning, design, messaging, relevance to the target audience, and the overall user experience on the website.
