If something isn’t seen, it cannot be acted on. There is a direct correlation between Sticky’s SEEN metric and number of clicks, allowing marketers and researchers to accurately predict and increase CTR using Sticky’s visual and emotional insights.
We simulated a real-life web experience in which respondents were given the option to exit the page if they were not interested in exploring the page further.
You will shortly see a couple of webpages.
1. Please look at and interact with (click on buttons/links etc) them as you normally would.
2. If you think you would have left the page without reading or interacting, please click the 'Close Box' in the upper right corner.
3. Click anywhere to start.

The CTA-buttons on each page were the main AOIs to connect eye tracking metrics to clicks.
