美国在线广告50%的点击量仅来自6%的用户
comScore联合Starcom、Tacoda进行的一项研究显示,在美国,在线广告50%的点击量仅仅来源于6%的用户,以点击量(率)来衡量一个广告的效果在多数情况下是一个偏颇的考量。这项研究的名字叫作“天生的点击者(Natural Born Clickers)”。
研究报告描述了这些重度点击者的特征,他们介于25-44岁之间,年收入在4万美元以下;使用网络的时间是普通用户的4倍,但是消费却和时间不成正比;他们更多的访问拍卖、赌博和招聘类网站,这和普通用户有很大不同。
进一步的研究显示,点击数量和品牌建设之间没有什么关系。如果一个广告包含塑造品牌形象的目标,高点击量并不一定说明这个广告有多么成功。对于以销售和品牌认知为主要目标的广告来说,点击量只是一个从属的衡量标准。
