Web Marketing Campaigns Analysis
Number of impressions: This is the number of times an advertisement has been exposed to a user. Be careful. This doesn’t mean they’ve seen it.
CPC: acronym used to refer to “Cost per click”. It is a method of billing advertising space or web marketing actions used on the Internet.
CTR: acronym for “Click Through Rate”, it is calculated by reporting the number of clicks recorded on a clickable item (web banner, banner, sponsored ad) relative to the number of views of the item.
For example: if a banner ad is displayed 1000 times and clicked 5 times, the click through rate is 0.5%.
Bounce rate: The bounce rate of a website is an indicator of audience analysis. It describes the percentage of Internet users who only consulted a single page on the website. It is obtained by dividing the number of bounces by the total number of visits.
