Thanks for the tips and the note about the broken link. We'll fix these things.

As I mentioned in another comment, we had a developer that saw an overall 140% CTR because his users clicked on the app discovery grid multiple times. Meaning - there were users that clicked on multiple apps in the app discovery grid.

So, if I'm reading you right, you have a grid with multiple options open, and you counted clicking each option once so if I click two options, that's +2, 3 options would be +3, but viewing the options page only counts as 1?

The problem is that you should only get 1 click from 1 view for a particular object. So if I am selling 3 things in your grid, and someone clicks on all 3, it's not +300% for me, it's 100%. If someone clicks one out of the three options, then overall I'd have a 33%.

It's not as useful that way, though. So if I transition this to talking about a series of banner ads as an example: If I have 3 ads for 3 different products on the same page, I'll count their CTR separately. If someone clicks on ad 1 but not ad 2 or three, then ad 1 has 100% and 2 and 3 both are at 0. If someone clicks all three on the same view somehow, then each ctr would be 100% for that view.

100% is the max. Otherwise it's not really useful; how do you know from your way which ad is successful? That's really what CTR starts to measure.

Plus, 140% out of how many options on the list? What if there are 20? It's just not useful unless 100% is the max.
