CiviMai click thru stats - just checking
March 12, 2012, 03:18:17 am
Joomla 2.5.2/ Civi4.1.1

Looking at a report in CiviMail it looks like click through stats seem a bit off.
When I click on "Click-throughs" from the report it shows the same person clicking on a link 50 times in the same two minute period.

This seems unlikely / unnatural human behaviour don't you think?

Can anyone else confirm similar findings/ interpet /deny as appropriate?

cheers

if the newsletter is made public / tweeted etc, the below behavior is quite reasonable (based on popularity of site etc)

Each newsletter url is keyed on one contact id, so if multiple people click on the same url (from the web page etc), it counts as one person

THanks for the reply.

So am I understanding 100% accurately that click thrus for online versions are counted as click thrus against one contact id, even when that contcat is not necessarily the contact clicking? :o
