No. A more correct analogy would be:
$ = actual dollars paid to Relentless by new clients from this specific thread + any other value created
Clicks = number of clients who actually contacted me from this thread (all at the total cost of time spent with no other investment)
Page views = impressions
Using that analogy, this thread had a low CTR and a very high value per acquisition.
However, the long tail value is even better than the immediate payout. That makes this thread a much better revshare play than PPS proposition. Also keep in mind every action in it was legal, and this thread had no negative impact on my bookmarkers.
*If you can understand that analogy and apply it to your own business in lieu of chasing your tail and grasping at straws, then this thread may be a profitable one for you as well.
