Click-Through Rate

The percentage of people who saw an ad or link and clicked on it.

Formula

Clicks / Impressions x 100

How to measure

Divide the number of clicks an ad or email received by the number of times it was shown, then multiply by 100.

Why track it

CTR is a fast read on how compelling creative or copy is, independent of downstream conversion quality.

Example

An ad shown 50,000 times that receives 750 clicks reports a 1.5% CTR.
