Mathematical Audit

Outbound Link Optimization Formulas

Evaluate how optimization multipliers (CTR, aspect ratio, CTA, landing page matches) affect outbound traffic volumes and monetary value.

Base Outbound Clicks = Impressions × (Pin Click Rate % ÷ 100) × (Outbound Click Rate % ÷ 100)
Base Traffic Value = Base Outbound Clicks × Avg Click Value
Optimized Impressions = Uses 2:3 Ratio ? Impressions × 1.2 : Impressions
Optimized Pin Click Rate = Uses 2:3 Ratio ? Pin Click Rate × 1.1 : Pin Click Rate
Optimized Outbound Rate = Outbound Rate × CTA Multiplier (1.45) × Landing Page Multiplier (1.50)
Optimized Outbound Clicks = Optimized Impressions × (Optimized Pin Click Rate % ÷ 100) × (Optimized Outbound Rate % ÷ 100)

By using vertical 2:3 templates, adding a clear text CTA on the image, and matching the landing page context perfectly, creators can lift outbound clicks by over 100%.
