  <body-formatted>Hi Charles &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have you checked our &lt;a href="http://www.e-consultancy.com/publications/internet-stats-compendium/"&gt;Internet Statistics Compendium&lt;/a&gt; to see if there is anything on this in there?&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Usual suspects to check with would be:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;DoubleClick research / IAB for advertising stuff&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;ABCe (who audit newsletters as well as sites) or DMA for email metrics&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;
If it helps, we're a B2B niche site, though our site ads do not conform to IAB standards (the boxes to the right), and we get a click through rate of between 0.5%-2.5% depending largely on the advertising brand and advert. On email we roughly follow my 3:2:1 rule i.e. 30% of emails get opened (actually more like 40% and I don't trust open rates any more anyway), 20% of those get clicks and 10% of those click then buy/register/act on the site.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ashley Friedlein&lt;br /&gt;CEO&lt;br /&gt;E-consultancy.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;</body-formatted>
