CTR?

[Ed Rooney]

When zooms drop, the CTR drops too. Is that correct? 

 

My ranking is still strong in test searches and my BHZ still sits on Page One. My sales for February are just above average expectations . . . but my CTR is falling. Hmmm

Well, I did say "you name it". I often go to Japanese and Vietnamese restaurants in Vancouver as well. I'm not really familiar with Korean food, though. Should give it a try. I've been mostly vegetarian (I do eat fish and shellfish) for decades now, so I miss out on most traditional Quebecois dishes because they tend to be meat-heavy. When I was a kid in Quebec, I really liked Tourtière and of course gorged myself on "patates frites" and other greasy and sugary Quebec delights. As a result, I got very tubby in my early teenage years.

same here on Quebec food...  Actually having changed my taste buds, i can't do tarte au sucre anymore.  Korean can be a bit hard for vegetarians but i also eat fish and shellfish ( i will also occasionally eat meat if it's offered to me, don't want to impose on hosts, especially on the road)

Yes, taste is mostly an acquired/conditioned thing I've discovered. Don't think I'll ever kick my "French fries" addiction, though.

 

I'm never sure what the heck I'm eating when on the road. Also don't like to offend people.

 

We seem to have wandered far off the CTR track in search of food...

Well, at least one of those is a positive sign. 😃

Ah, North Hykeham as well then? A bus in Lincolnshire is a rara avis.

 

NH God forbid. Soulless flat and boring place. Sorry if someone on here actually lives there but that is just my opinion.

 

Try further north. Uphill not downhill.

 

As for buses they are much better now since reorganisation and are every half hour on most routes if not all.

I have the dubious pleasure of still living there yes although to be fair there is a fair bit of interest, as you alluded sometimes you just need a bit of yokel knowledge

 

Be joining you soon I hope. Should be completing house purchase next week. Then the work (fun) starts.

I wish you well, of course, but the last time I made the mistake of moving (back) TO Lincolnshire was in 1982. I hope not to repeat the error. Just kidding. No I'm not.

My sales and prices in February were back to normal and I've had two sales so far in March. But . . . my CTR is still weak. 

[NYCat]

My CTR is never impressive and usually barely average but I make steady if not abundant sales and I've stopped even looking at the CTR. I just look at the zooms and fret over those. I also look at all the search terms and correct keywords from time to time.

[John Mitchell]

My CTR graph seems to have begun a journey south this month, due no doubt to only three zooms so far in March.

I’m 2 years past moving and still have nightmares. I was planning on having a garage sale in April but have put that on hold because of the virus. It’s not here, yet, but expect it will come. I’m one of those with enough health issues that it wouldn’t be pretty. As, I’m sure, the same as some of you. I’m not panicking, but being proactive and cautious.

 

My CTR was “ok” for me recently, but has taken a plunge this week, zooms down.

My CTR has gone up today.

 

Thanks for the hint of what is to come.🤨

Two sales, including a $$$ one, showed up today, plus a new zoom. My CTR now seems to be reversing direction and heading north again. Seems it doesn't take much to get things moving in the right direction, which is a good thing.

[spacecadet]

Always unwise to look so early in the month, I know, but my CTR is staggering for March. On one of my pseudos it's over 3. Not 0.3, 3. I'm sure it will come to its senses.

Yes, CTR often staggers around like the proverbial drunken sailor at the beginning of the month.
