ExoClick Releases Stats for 4th-Quarter Dating Traffic

ExoClick Releases Stats for 4th-Quarter Dating Traffic

BARCELONA — ExoClick’s business intelligence unit has carried out an analysis of the ad network’s members area traffic from the fourth quarter of 2018.

ExoClick said it has exclusivity in monetizing dating traffic from WhiteLabelDating.com, Traffic Mansion, Dating Factory and AdultFriendFinder. The business intelligence team looked at statistics globally and also some specific intelligence for the U.K. market.

Kelan Stone, head of ExoClick's members area business, said, “These Q4 statistics provide valuable insights for advertisers. By calculating the average CTR of all display ad formats, members area traffic does generate more clicks than general web traffic. A typical members area user is logged in and browsing inside the dating site, he has already provided the site with his personal data and in many cases, also his credit card details. This makes him a qualified potential user/purchaser of many other similar services and this is why members area traffic is so valuable.”

“The majority of our dating traffic covers English speaking GEOs which further helps advertisers to monetize their offers as they only have to create compelling messages in one language, making testing less time consuming in order to find the right formula for conversions.”

Below are the ExoClick stats:

With the majority of traffic coming from English speaking GEOs, out of the 993 million impressions served during Q4 here is the percentage split across the top five English-speaking GEOs:
