Page CTR 110% !

phreak3r · 02-20-2006, 11:20 PM

On one of the days this month, i have 10 page impressions and 11 clicks giving a CTR of 110%. How is this possible??!

Wouldn't this be the result, if someone clicked off the page, and went back using the browser "back" button?

That's a good theory that I never considered before. I've seen this in my stats, and I think it is because some impressions weren't properly counted (or aren't updated yet in the stats). Still, there does seem to be a level of uncertainty/error in the statistics.

If your using the small ad block's auser could have clicked on more than 1 advert on the results page. Surely this work count as multiple clicks for 1 page view wouldn't it?

I don't know about you but personally I sometime right-click on a Google ad to open it in a new browser... this way I can come back to the original page and click on another ad if I want to. This can give a weird click-through result like that.

But sometime it is also because the stats are not updated fast enough.

This happnes to me too.
Sometimes i do get 400% + CTR
its not a problem till u personally didnt click or told someone to click.
This happens when the servers are updated slowly or clicks of previous day are updated later.
Its not even a problem at all.

Don't Google get a bit suspicious about your 4 clicks per one page view? Who is going to go onto a site and click four ads and only visit one of your pages

I've heard mondine talking about the AdBlock extension before, and I downloaded it - it works wonders

No ads for me now :P

brbrYou didnt get my point.brI siad it may also be bcos of last days clicks accounted on next day or some data server problems.brAnd if everyone will use Adblocker we will get bankrupt

the adblock thing mean that your page doesnt do an impression right, when you view it...so it helps your ctr....my ctr is only low...less the 10.., that sucks right??
