Hi i was wondering about what are some good ratios... i heard about which one is a good CTR ratio...

But what about view through download or view through browser plays? Lately i put the web version to my game The Rogue of Nexus, and according to the latest analytics, the ratio says that 25% of views also play the web version... which ratio is good? (it's surely better than download, maybe 8 times better).

Are Brower plays counted only once for each user?

After Web play/download, which one is supposed to be the next step? rate, comments or add to collection?

Is there a play through rate or a play through comment ratio good value?

You are stressing analytics way to much on Itch. I don't think that browser plays are counted once per user, but probably not everytime someone plays it. My guess is that it only counts after a certain playtime to prevent spamming reload to fake stats. Also, I don't know where you are seeing these ratios.

Ok, well actually aside the CTR, all the other "<this> through <that>" are not anywhere, i just calculate them, in the same way you can calculate the CTR.

When i say 25% of view turns into browser plays is because in the same time range analytics told me that

y (browser plays) / x (views) = 25% (views are 4 times the browser plays)

same reasoning for any other metric i named, aside the ones actually displayed from itch... but that you can calculate from itch metrics
