Here are the overall system statistics across both my sites (I use one program to do ads on both Mommy Chats and Fresno Family, so it averages them), as of 4/30/08:

Total Campaigns: 22 active
Total Impressions: 856,259
Total Clicks: 3,319
Click-Through Ratio: 258:1 (or 0.39%)
Avg. Impressions Day/Month:
3,036 / 92,418

And here is an excellent and interesting online discussion about advertising and click through ratios.
Here's another article on this topic of click-through rates, as well as info on the importance of your ad graphic.

Some more interesting threads...these are on what kind of ads mamas will/won't click on and why:

OPTION 6:

NON-ROTATING Sponsor Text Ad (homepage)

  • This is a NON-ROTATING ad, meaning that it is permanent and always shows as long as you are subscribing/paying...it does NOT rotate with other ads.
  • This ad appears to the left side of the News box on the homepage, just under the rotating button ads.

  • Your wording of this ad is crucial to the success of it, so keep this in mind when creating your ad.

  • Please keep your ad brief. A maximum of 350 characters (including spaces--You can use MS Word's word count feature to count this for you, if you have it.) This will be much more effective than a longer ad.
    A little tip about the wording of your text ads: Do NOT tell them everything in the ad!! If you do, they have no reason for them to click. You want to have all the details on your website, but just a teaser in your ad. Something intriguing that will make them want to know more and thus will click your ad.

Fine Print:
All items added to this site are at the discretion of the webmama of MommyChats.com. I will only allow ads which are relevant to the page content and blend well with the overall site/page feel. I will not allow ads which I feel inappropriate or downright ugly. I want to maintain the overall quality/feel of my site and so will always be choosy in what I allow to be posted here. I also reserve the right to refuse advertising for any business that I deem inappropriate or that promotes something I do not feel comfortable promoting.
I will refund all ad money if I choose not to advertise your business. (This is the only exception to the "no refunds" policy.)
