"Click thru rate" is NOT a relevant stat in this case

Hey Marc,

As a publisher I would agree that you need to be aware of a response metric.

However, since there was a singular traffic source and unique creative that distributed clicks equally among the sponsors, the CTR "Click thru rate" is NOT a relevant stat in this case.

Unless I am interpretting something different, I believe "pr0" addressed this here.

"I used one traffic source and sent the exact amount of traffic to each program. I filtered off a unique to each program one at a time so that the traffic they received was the same across the board. Each site received 9000 uniques as measured by my tracking pixel." - pr0

So although response is an important metric we all can appreciate, the CTR "Click thru rate" has been esentially removed from this equation.
