2 Sources for Benchmarks

3 DoubleClick

The benchmarks are demarcated by the horizontal black lines.

- Click Rate = 0.7 when all impressions are considered. 

- Click Rate = 0.14 when only the viewable impressions are used.

Note: I have left the Bangor Daily News out of this plot because its clickrate is well above the benchmark and it overshadows the other sites.

4 DC Sites

5 DC Ad Type

6 Ad type by Sites

7 Facebook CTR

Here is the CTR by Audience over time. The benchmark CTR is demarcated with a black line. The HS audience is the strongest.

8 Facebook CPC

9 Facebook CPA

Cost per Action: This is calculated by the amount spent/number of actions. This seems way off. We pay well below the benchmark. Or there are not many clicks.
