It strongly affects the probability that users click on the ads at the side of the search results page if the system shows the right ones. To maximize the outcome of search engine revenue and improve perception on those ads, it is important to understand the factors which affect the click through rate (CTR) on those ads.

It provides a number of online services such as value-added Internet, mobile and telecom services and online advertising. As of September 30, 2011, Tencent had 711.7 million active Instant Messenger users. It forms the largest Internet Community in China.
