Did that placement pay for itself?

After a sponsorship runs you have a cost, a click count and a rough idea of how many became customers. This turns those into a return — and says when the click count is too small for the return to mean much.

What this means

120 clicks is too few to trust a 3.0% rate — you would need about 500. Judge this placement on whether the clicks were the right people, not on the return figure.
