probably simple question i feel bad asking ;)

On traffic trades and tpg's i keep seeing mention of the productivity.

I'm assuming productivity measures the number that click around after getting through?

Joe's traffic states productivity as high as 588% for example, and another thread was saying they wanted 100 producing out of 2,000 visits.

Obviously they arent signups, and the second figure makes a bit more sense if your tracking people taht click around, but the percentage measure has me confused/lost.

anyways, illuminating this would be a great service.

ok i figured it out.

588% simply means 5.8 clicks per unique

100 producing per 2,000 means 100 click more. both are just tracking productivity completely differently. ;)

A TGP doing 100,000 HITS per day and 150,000 CLICKS per day is said to be running at 150% productivity. Thats what we mean by a 'prod of 150' .... hope this helps and btw
