Identify high-performing pages

Sort the data by the pages with the highest number of clicks during the past hour to see which pages are popular or increasing in popularity. Because Publishers know this content is resonating with their audience, they can promote it through other channels such as homepage, newsletters, or social media.

During key shopping events, it’s important to know which links are at risk of returning Out of Stock responses, you can also use this data to help your team identify and prioritize which high-performing links should be manually checked.

Rearrange the order of links on a page to promote high-performing links

For articles with multiple links, you want to make sure the link with the highest engagement appears at the top of the page. You can use the real-time click data, to sort by page, link and clicks in the last hour and compare this against your article and make any optimization decisions.

You can use the report to identify links that aren’t performing and remove them from your page. As the report in the Publisher Hub only displays 100 rows of data, we recommend you download the full report to do this analysis.
