Industry debate on the value of click through rates continues in earnest

”Looking at click through
metrics isn't going to show you
how aware we are of your
brand… [L]ooking at how much
you get talked about in the
community is a better metric
there, or how many people
follow your vendor page”

Key Takeaways
Click through rates will continue to be an important measure for your campaigns
But look at other metrics that may be more aligned with your campaign goals
– Sales/Return on Investment: Look at actual product data, not just click or conversion rates
– Brand Affinity: Measure and understand your followers
– Brand Advocacy: Track the level of brand advocacy
