Trade Prod Question

[clickyclick]

OKie dokie, I'm kind of confuse here so can some experience webmaster help me understand. As far as I know many people say they have got "prod" about 220-240% which is consider a good norm for trade. Now, what kind of "prod" are they talking about. Because I know different scripts define prod differently not sure what prod they are talking about.

Are they talking about:

prod = clicks from trade / hit out from trade

prod = trade hit in / clicks from trade

prod = hit in/hit out


Can someone clarify please. I'm totally confuse as different script define prod different.

Thanks.

I define trade productivity as:

trade clicks / trade hits in

Assume a trade sends me a total of 100 uniques in 24 hours. Those 100 surfers generate only 50 clicks. Thus my trade prod is 50 / 100 = 50%.

Now assume a trade sends me a total of 100 uniques in 24 hours. Those 100 surfers generate 250 clicks. Thus my trade prod is 250 / 100 = 2.5 = 250%.

Does that help?

Ya that's help, but I'm not sure if that the same for every script. I use ATX so that's how they defines it. I think comus defines it different do they? I'm just confuse with the terminology of what people are saying as I'm sure they are talking about the script they are using.

I just read a thread somewhere from comus and they the creator post the following:
By trade prod, I mean (trade clicks/ traffic out) , so if we send 1000 out and get back 2500 clicks for it, we are running at a 250% trade prod.

That's why I'm so confuse as I always though trad prod is what u defined in your reply.
