It's More Than Clicks

Sometimes people only want to talk about clicks and conversions. These things are no doubt important, but they are just part of the value of online advertising.

ComScore recently studied 139 online ad campaigns by marrying data from its panel of U.S. internet users with shopper data. They found that online ads — even when they didn't result in a click — increased a consumer's likelihood of making a purchase at an advertiser's retail store by 17% and increased visits to a marketer's website by an average of 40% (read the full article Why the Click Is the Wrong Metric for Online Ads).

The CMSWire title has a high average CTR for its ad units. Nevetheless, we know very well that direct clicks and conversions are only part of the story. We hope to work with clients who share this understanding.
