Default Arcade CTR Survey - post your CTR here

Hello,

Quick version:

1. Post whether your arcade has 2 column or 3 column layout
2. Post your site's overall CTR

Purpose for the Survey:

Improving CTR is beneficial to all arcade webmasters, and there shouldn't be any issues with sharing this information. After all once you've spent all that time and money getting traffic to your site, the most important way to generate revenue is to improve your CTR!

I am curious to know if there is a correlation between 2 and 3 column layouts and CTR ratio. From the other webmasters I've spoken with, it seems like a 2 column is best for CTR. But I was hoping to get some participation here to find out if that is true or not.


Thanks, hopefully this will be an informative thread for all!

I'll kick things off:

1. 3 column, 2 sites
2. CTR: 0.57%

(Note to my advertisers... the Adtoll spots on my Arcades have the best CTR, but this is an overall stat including CPC campaigns which are low.)

CTR = Click Through Rate on the ads you have on your site. If the ad network you are using doesn't tell you in your account then divide your total impressions from your total clicks then move the decimal over to places to get the percent.

Example:
25 (clicks) / 1000 (impressions) = 0.025 = 2.5%

In the example your CTR is 2.5%
