Internet Jargon

click-thru - when a user clicks on a advert to 'click-through' to visit your web site.

registered users - users of a web site who have some sort of account with that site, with details such as their email address, climbing interests and so on contained in a database.

distinct visitors - the estimated number of different people who have visited a web site. We use the number of unique IP addresses (very technical!) to estimate the number of visitors, which is the most widely used estimate in use currently.

page views - also known as 'hits' or 'impressions' or 'IMPs', this is the total number of times all pages are seen by visitors. For example, if a single page is looked at 10 times, that is 10 page views. If 5 different pages are looked at 10 times each, then that is 50 page views.

CPM - is the cost of a standard unit of 1000 page views or impressions. Internet advertising is typically bought in units of CPM, and this is how we quote our prices.
