Different publication periods can distort comparisons of totals. Use equal windows or report both total requests and a daily average.

설명용 / Illustrative
A: 300회 / 3일 → 100회/일
B: 500회 / 10일 → 50회/일
A: 300 / 3 days → 100/day; B: 500 / 10 days → 50/day

Steps to verify

  • Record each period and time basis.
  • Use equal windows or compute averages.
  • Include publication and exposure conditions.

How to interpret the result

B has the larger total but A the larger daily average. Normalizing duration does not normalize exposure, weekdays or publication timing.

Deciding what to do next

Choose the metric that answers the question and record date boundaries and destination changes so later reviewers can use consistent terms.

Feature scope

Clicks count short-URL redirect requests, not unique people, confirmed human scans, signups or revenue. Tests and repeat requests can be included.

Frequently asked questions

Does a higher daily average imply better conversions?

It describes request activity only. Compare signups or purchases with separate destination completion records.
