Why such a high CTR?

    Okay so I just started focusing on CJ and adding products to my sites. This is not generally concerning CJ so I think this is the best place for this post as it is concerning my CTR.

    One site (PR 0) "Product Review Type Site"
    Yesterday 207 Impressions,5 Clicks, 2.42% CTR
    Today 327 Impressions, 3 Clicks, 1.22% CTR

    Second site (PR 1) "Personal Site/Blog"
    Today 13 Impressions, 6 Clicks, 46.15% CTR

    Yeah I just started adding products to my site with the PR 1. So is this seeming good? Or can wordpress be initiating clicks or false clicks? I haven't even seen this type of CTR on my ads I display on my websites, but 46.15%? I know I will not see a single sale from those clicks either I bet. :mad:

    13 impressions isn't enough traffic to make a real determination of what's going on...

    With that being said, a variety of factors could be causing a higher CTR. Do you have dedicated followers on your blog? Blogs tend to be more personal and people might take your suggestions / recommendations more seriously -- especially if it's highly targeted torwards the theme of the blog. The location of the link / product / ad could also affect CTR.

    I'm guessing it was just random. If you continue to see higher CTRs like this, then maybe there's actually something going on...

    Thanks for that information. Yes it might have been random or something odd. I am suspecting the clicks came from visitors from StumbleUpon after I shared my post. This happens sometimes when I share something on StumbleUpon.
