"Curiosity Clicks"?

21 November 2005

First things first:

What do we mean by "curiosity clicks"?

So called "curiosity clicks" are those clicks generated by users more interested in checking out the eMiniMalls interface, or just curious about the products being promoted, etc., as opposed to clicks on merchant links leading to the respective merchant sites where users can directly purchase the product if they choose to.

So, does this mean we are now filtering and/or discounting "curiosity clicks"?

What happened to the product links?

16 November 2005

To help minimize so-called "curiosity clicks" that typically do not lead to conversions on the merchants' side, we updated the eMiniMalls units to drive qualified clicks. Hence, eMiniMalls users will notice a dip in the overall click through rate (and hence the overall revenue).
