Am I a victim of Twitter ad click fraud?
The campaign seems to be doing fairly well--I'm getting a sustained engagement rate of 1.85% and generating hundreds of clicks. But ...
Only a handful seem to be making it through to my opt-in page. The LeadPages analytics report anywhere from 30-50% fewer hits than I'm paying for on Twitter.
I've noticed this disparity when looking at the landing page stats, so yesterday I installed the Twitter conversion tracking script on my landing page to track page views as conversions. (The landing page is hosted by LeadPages.)
My Twitter stats for today show an even larger gap between clicks and conversions. As of right now, my campaign has received 54 clicks today, but only 12 of those are reported as conversions.
The LeadPages analytics also report a significant gap--only 35 hits from 54 clicks.
My campaign targets only desktop users, so timeouts due to slow mobile connections shouldn't be an issue here.
Is it common for landing pages to receive 30-80% less actual traffic than clicks?
This is making it very hard to calculate my ROI for these ads. I'm only paying $0.87 per signup right now due to low CPC, but I'd like to know where all that traffic is going before I dump more money into this campaign.
