Thanx Zwitterion i know what is ctr for adsense but i am confused about ctr for affiliate programs. so an you plz explain that

i havent been banned myself until now..coz my clicks are higher in my cj account

Thanx for the answer however i mean to say how is click through ratio calculated for affiliate programs?

i think its just the same for ppc programs.

i would really appreciate if you can tell me the method (equation or formula) by which affiliate programs calculate click through ratio....thanx

Thks Appreciated!

Most Affiliate Networks expect a realistic CTR of 2 to 5%. As an example, if you are cookie stuffing EPN, if you stuff 50 visitors, you would need to show EPN between 1000 to 1300 impressions (if you are using say their widgets) to look natural.

Now, be careful if you are buying cheap traffic to cover your tracks, since most of cheap traffics wont actually register hits as they promise. So make sure you test before you do anything shady.

If we are dealing with CPA Networks the same concept applies, you want a realistic CTR of 2 to 5%. Of course this applies to any blackhat thing you may be doing, like filling your own offers, or whatever.

Thanx isoripper i dont want to sound like a noob, but i am? can you also tell me what is ctr ( i am a bit confused)?

CTR = Click Through Ratio -> Its the percentage of ads clicked based on number of impressions. Take for example Google Adwords. If you ads get displayed on Google 1000 times (1000 impressions), and they get clicked 10 times, your click through ratio (CTR) is 1% . Got the drift?
