What to look for, and what actions to take

Now that you're able to see your segmented traffic, what sort of things should you look for?

  • Abnormal spikes in the following areas:
    • Impressions
    • Clicks
    • CTR
    • Visited pages
  • Outliers compared to other aspects in your performance reporting.

There are several actions that you can take if you do notice some of these unexpected behaviors:

  • Talk with your traffic source to understand where their users are coming from.
  • Discontinue working with traffic sources that are unable to send users that fit your target audience.
  • Self-report your findings to our team.

In addition to uncovering unexpected behavior, you can use this data to optimize your site performance. If you notice that a particular traffic source is consistently performing better than other sources, you may want to spend more time or money, and ramp up even more traffic from that source.
