Hey everyone.

This may be too tech-oriented but I thought I'd ask here anyway since a lot of you seem really knowledgeable.

I'm trying to track the CTR of various ads on my website, Personal Development with Fred Tracy

I'm currently using Google Analytics to do that through EventTracking.

For any of you that use that, you know that it will give you a raw number of clicks (or whatever) per day that people made on your ads. I can then go and divide the number of clicks by the page impressions that day to get my CTR and go from there.

What I want to do is have Google Analytics give me the CTR without doing all the math work. Is there a way to do that?

Or is there a different software I could use that does what I want?

Thanks a bunch. :-)

Fred, there are may be some Wordpress plugins doing what you want.

I've heard that before. I'll do some searching and see what I can find.

By the way, I love your website. Your green smoothie article cracked me up.
