What sort of response are you getting?

Hi all

I just started up a freebie bCentral programme to try it out.

Can anyone share some stats on clicks per impression they're getting?

Cheers

What kind of programme? Banner exchange? Not familiar with bCentral...(though yes, I know MS owns it) :)

I have been using them for about 4 wks now for a new site and have had 770 exposures and only 1 click thru. But in my opinion because its free, anytime I can get more exposure of my site the better.

One click through from 700 banners exposed (1 / 700 = 0.12% ctr), in a free exchange isn't bad in my opinion. I'd say a typical CTR now is about 0.5% - 1% on any site. Make your banners a little more persuasive and I bet you'd get around one click for every 200 exposures.

If you want you can sticky me a link to your banner and I can give you some pointers.

Yeh Ive had 3 clicks in 2200 exposures for the past week, so thats about average then?

Im going to try playing around with different targeted markets before i change my banner, but thanks for the offer hobbnet! :)
