Where Have All the Click-Throughs Gone?

Compete Webinar to Reveal Best Practices in Landing Page Effectiveness

BOSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Compete, Inc., a leading web analytics company and unit of TNS media, today announced it will host a webinar on August 21st to share an in-depth analysis of best practices for optimizing consumer behavior after they click through online advertisements. The webinar, “Where Have All the Click-throughs Gone?,” will showcase online landing pages from the ad campaigns of leading automotive, financial services, telecom and travel brands. Compete will discuss examples of optimized site experiences and performance metrics that marketers can immediately apply to achieve their click-through and conversion rate goals.

Marketers invest a significant amount of time and money in marketing campaigns aimed at delivering positive post-click experiences, ultimately hoping to convert these clicks into sales. On average, however, more than 95 percent of visitors that click on online ads never make a purchase. In addition, because post-click experiences vary widely, conversion rates can differ by as much as five times between the top and bottom quartiles in an industry, leaving significant opportunities for marketers to boost ROI.
