Click through rate is a marketing metric that measures how often people click on a link, ad or email.
Many factors affect click-through rate (CTR), including imagery, keywords, call-to-action copy and ad positioning.
Click through rate compares the number of time someone clicks on your content, to the number of impressions you get (how many times the ad was viewed). CTR appears as an important metric in email, display, social and paid search campaigns. Some common examples of areas where CTR is measured include:
Click through rate allows you to measure the success of your advertising campaigns. By understanding how many people actually click on your ads, CTR supports ad optimization. Improving click through rate is one of the best ways to generate more sales.
