I just had a question about how to vouch for publisher’s claims on their click through rate. Who audits the rates and are they available to public domain?
As most of the
publishers measure their click-through rates through a recognized adserving platform, the results are verified. So if the publisher is using either Adtech or DoubleClick or any other recognized platform these systems have been audited and as a result the CTRs are correct.
If the publisher is not using an adserving platform or if the agency has not used an agency adserving platform then there may be reason to query the results as they need to be measured on a recognized platform.
