Digg Traffic v/s Google Traffic – A Chitika Analysis Report
April 9th, 2007
93 commentsOne of the observations raised at Elite Retreat San Francisco was: Digg Users are lousy ad clickers. So I decided to put this theory to the test using data from the billion+ ads served by Chitika over a 31 day period.
For the impatient, here is the take-away message:
Digg Traffic is more than 3 times Less Likely to Click on an Ad than Google Traffic
Background:
There’s been a lot of discussion about the value of Digg traffic (Problogger, Neil Patel, etc). This analysis aims to use the data culled from the Chitika logs over a 31 day period to put an actual number to this theory. Since pretty much everyone receives Google traffic, this analysis uses Google as a base to compare against.
The Actual Analysis (for the stats folk):
- I started off with the entire log data over a 31 day period from Feb 26th 2007 – March 28th 2007. This comprised over a billion ad impressions and millions of clicks.
- I then filtered down the data set to only publishers using the Chitika | RPU product line. Since the RPU is always placed in the exact same position on all publisher sites (i.e. the bottom of the blog post), this had the nice side effect of eliminating any positioning effects (as in: You should never compare an ad unit placed at the top of the page to one at the bottom).
- I then filtered down the data set to only those publishers who get Dugg. This way, any publisher who gets a ton of traffic from Google but never gets Dugg does not skew the results.
- Lastly, I calculated the impressions and clicks on the ads for traffic from both Digg and Google and calculated the click through rate (CTR)
Results:
- Over the 31 days, the google traffic resulted in a CTR of 0.97% on the RPU ads — compared to 0.30% for the Digg traffic.
- Digg traffic is more than 3 times less likely to click on an Ad than Google traffic.
- Publishers who talk about Diggable topics like Apple, Games, Linux, etc seemed to get Dugg a lot. This indirectly confirms the demographic profile of the classic Digg user (think college-going Internet power user).
Dealing with Digg Traffic:
So what do you do with the Digg traffic ? Is it worth your time to get your post Dugg ? Here are some experts who have delved on this topic:

Nice confirmation of the Elite Retreat comments. One question- is the Google traffic organic, paid, or both? I can see that having an influence on the CTR.
April 9th, 2007 at 6:12 pm
I did not differentiate between organic or paid Google traffic in this analysis.
But to confirm if this could skew results, I just did a quick test: I checked to see if the googlesyndication.com (the Adsense component) was a big part of the Google traffic and it was not. Less than 2% of the google traffic came from googlesyndication.com.

These stats are very very true. HOWEVER!, don’t we try to create articles that do well in Digg so that they get linked to?
April 9th, 2007 at 9:10 pm
Court,
Thats true. If you get Dugg, the positives are more to do with backlinks, recognition, increase in feed subscriptions etc. Neil Patel has a lot of stuff over at pronetadvertising.com on the good effects of getting Dugg (there is a link at the end of the post to one of his good articles).

[...] Chitika is holding their own "Blog Bash" which has 30 Experts Blogging over 30 Days. Today’s blog was on Digg traffic vs. Google traffic. Everyone loves getting the massive flow of traffic once they are listed on the main page of Digg.com, but you usually hear how it was a ton of traffic without the usual revenue or sales. Not only does this make sense, but it also proves true from the study done in the Chitika Analysis report. In short, with over a billion page views recorded, Digg traffic is more than three times less likely to click on an advertisement than Google traffic. Personally, I feel this makes perfect sense. I would think Digg users are more web savvy and can recognize an advertisement (contextual bases/adsense/ypn), over a regular less web savvy Google user. Read over the report, its a good read. [...]
April 9th, 2007 at 9:41 pm
maybe also because most of diggers are tech people who use Firefox which has an Adblock plugins, so they are more probably downloading such plugins compared to average consumers.
April 9th, 2007 at 9:47 pm
3 times less likely? That is WAY off in my opinion. Out of 15,000 visitors from digg last month, to a specific page, I saw 141 clicks (.009%). Google readers click about 1-2% of the time.
April 9th, 2007 at 9:47 pm
More eyeballs gets more attention, and more attention means more referrals. Just getting your idea, site or service out there is worth it. So what if they’re lousy clickers? If you have a good site, they might send more suckers your way.
April 9th, 2007 at 9:55 pm
Good test. We have found this to be true on DigitalTrends.com as well. When Google news sends us traffic, the ad click-throughs flourish, but when Digg sends traffic, they take a huge dip.
Another thing we have found is that Digg users spend less time on the site than visitors coming from Google News. They also only go 1-3 pages deep compared to 3-6 pages from Google.
April 9th, 2007 at 10:04 pm
Yeah, DIGG traffic is all about “hey, I’m bored and want to read something”
Google traffic is all about ” I’m looking for this ”
Would it not make sense for 3x as many google referred people to click on an ad relating to what they were looking for?
April 9th, 2007 at 10:14 pm
Digg is for SEO ranking.
April 9th, 2007 at 10:19 pm
Branden said> 3 times less likely? That is WAY off in my opinion.
Branden, this analysis was done across a large cross-section of publishers. As you can imagine, there were some publishers who’s Digg traffic was much much more less likely than 3. One trend I did see was: Publishers like gaming, linux etc (the type of things that the Digg audience likes) got a better CTR.
April 9th, 2007 at 10:23 pm
flash_dev said> Digg is for SEO ranking.
Good point. Getting backlinks on getting Dugg is good for SEO.
However, there are also other intangibles of getting Dugg. Things like:
- Increases in subscriptions to your RSS feed.
- Getting noticed by mainstream media (cause they watch the front page of digg).
And if you are a sysadmin geek: Getting to know if your website can handle 5000 requests/second.
April 9th, 2007 at 10:24 pm
[...] I was just reading the Chitika blog after finding the article linked from Digg. It’s a short article showing that traffic from Digg is much less likely to click adverts than google. The relevant data being Google CTR is 0.97% vs Digg at 0.30% which although an interesting number it should shock anyone. Google has spent years working on targeted advertising plus via adsense/adwords this has allowed advertisers to target adverts via keywords. [...]

[...] Any web marketer that utilizes social bookmarking as a way of driving traffic to their site has always wondered about just how many Digg users actually click advertisements when they visit. For the most part, from my experience, Digg users are pretty web-savvy and will click on very few ads when they come and check out your site. After having the question poised to them, Chitika decided to put this theory to the test, and see which converted better over a 30 day period: Digg traffic or generic Google search traffic. [...]

Alden – it was great to hear from you today! This is a fantastic post – congrats on getting somewhere on Digg yourself with this!
I wrote a post that got onto the front page of Digg within 36 hours of getting home from Elite Retreat. I saw the post was getting hot, so I swapped in an ad that would normally not be of interest to the readers of the post. The post was about VC funding and the ad was for cheap and used laptops and laptop parts (via Jeremy’s AuctionAds).
The click-thorough on the ads was surprisingly high for a Digg – 2%+ – so the key is turning traditional advertising targeting sideways – advertise strictly to the Digg audience will work well – when the Digg traffic dies down, you can swap back in more appropriate ads.
(And yes, I did make a little $ that day!)
Hope to chat with you again soon, Alden!
April 10th, 2007 at 12:26 am
It really doesn’t seem that apalling to me at all. I mean, people searching for something on Google are doing just that, searching for something. Whereas people on Digg are usually just farting around and checking things out.

While I haven’t had massive amounts of traffic from Digg, I certainly haven’t seen a marked increase in revenue from my sites when they had pages that were dugg.
Glad to see it isn’t just me. ;-)
April 10th, 2007 at 2:22 am
Wendy is totally right. Now that you know your Digg audience, the idea is to “turn the targeting sideways” (using Wendy lingo).
If you use advertising that allows you to control the keywords (e.g. AuctionAds, Chitika), you should target to the audience (so: cheap laptops, ringtones, anything Apple, etc)
April 10th, 2007 at 2:37 am

It seems to me the reason is because people who use Digg are more savvy and experienced overall and know how to get the information that they are there to get.
