How do I view my statistics?

You can check the performance of your Q-Ads advertisements by using the Statistics section of your ad management page. To get there, simply login here.

You can use the statistics interface to see various metrics about ad performance. These include CTR, impressions and per blog analysis.

What do my stats mean?

Understanding your statistics is important to making sure they perform the best. We give you real-time performance data so you can track your clicks, impressions, and CTR - later our stats will show real time earnings performance. Additionally, you will be able to break that data down per ad, to fully understand which keywords are performing well for you, and on which blog.

Overall, you will understand how many times people are seeing your ad, if it entices clicks, and how much those clicks are worth (later).

We suggest that you learn how to optimize your ads here.

What are impressions?

Impressions are the number of times an ad(s) have been displayed. This includes impressions both in your blog and in your RSS feed.

What is a CTR?

CTR stands for Click-through rate. CTR represents the ratio of clicks to impressions and is typically reported as a percent. CTRs above 1% are considered excellent.

Why is my CTR% so low?

Most ad systems embed their ad on the outside of your blog frame.  So when someone hits your main page, that is counted as 1 impression.

With Q-Ads, we embed an ad in each post.  So as people visit your main blog page, there are far more ads shown…  even if the redear doesn’t scroll down the page to read the older posts.

So comparing Q-Ads CTR to any other system is like comparing Apples to Oranges.

How do I understand the per ad statistics?

The per ad statistics, available on a daily or monthly view, describe the performance of your ads in detail. When you generate an ad using the banner designer, you have the option to enter some text in the Post Title field.

If you enter descriptive text into this post title field, you will be able to track your general stats (CTR, money, etc) by ad. If you did not enter any information into this field, a series of information such as the date will be displayed instead. 

What if I click my own ad?

Clicks to your own ads will not be recorded. In some cases, fraudulent clicks such as these will be removed instantly, and others will be removed during our auditing process.

How do I see if I was paid?

Login to your account and click on Payment History (this will be enabled soon).
