What do terms like “impressions,” “hits,” and “click-throughs” mean?
Some of the terms used in Internet advertising are rather confusing. Here are a few of the important ones: Impressions is the number of times a visitor sees a page (and an advertisement) on the Web site. Banner advertising prices at Mahmood’s Den are based on impressions. Hits simply refer to the number of times a server is accessed. It’s a completely technical term and is virtually meaningless to advertisers, since each page, graphic, or page element could count as a “hit.” Advertising decisions should be based on impressions. A click-through occurs when a visitor clicks on an advertisement, thereby linking the visitor to the advertiser’s Web site. The Click-through Ratio is a mathematical term that indicates the success of an advertisement by dividing click-throughs by total impressions. The quality and content of an ad greatly affects this ratio. Rotating Ads Is a different advertisement displayed each time a page is accessed by a visitor.
