CTR is the acronym for click-through rate (in Spanish it is usually translated as “ratio de click”). It is a metric widely used in digital marketing and bulk email sending that measures the percentage of clicks made on a specific link relative to the number of impressions or views of that link.<\/p>\n
CTR takes as a reference the total number of clicks and impressions that a link received; unique users are not taken into account. Therefore, several of the clicks may come from the same user.<\/p>\n
CTR is calculated by dividing the number of clicks a link has received by the number of times that link has been viewed by users (impressions), and then multiplying the result by 100. The formula for calculating CTR is as follows:<\/p>\n
CTR = (clicks \/ impressions) x 100<\/p>\n
