Content Analytics

 

What This Page Does

This page shows you how well your content is performing across your entire site. You can see which videos, galleries, models, and cam performers are getting the most attention from visitors, and which ones might need some improvement. It tracks how many times content is shown to visitors (impressions), how many times they click on it (clicks), and the percentage of people who click after seeing it (click-through rate, or CTR).

How to Get Here

Navigate to Admin Panel > Reports > Content Analytics


Understanding the Page

When you open this page, you will see several sections that give you a complete picture of how your content is performing.

At the top of the page, you will find buttons that let you choose which time range to look at:

Button What It Shows
7D The last 7 days
30D The last 30 days (selected by default)
90D The last 90 days
1Y The last full year

Click any of these buttons to update all the data on the page for that time period.

Reports Opens the Reports page
Content Analytics You are already here (this button is highlighted)
Refresh Reloads the page with fresh data

Overview Statistics

Just below the time filter, you will see a row of cards -- one for each content type on your site (Videos, Galleries, Models, and Cam Performers). Each card shows three numbers:

  • Impressions -- How many times that type of content was shown to visitors
  • Clicks -- How many times visitors clicked on that content
  • Avg CTR -- The average click-through rate (the percentage of impressions that turned into clicks)

[Screenshot: content-analytics-overview-stats]

 

Note: These numbers update automatically based on the time period you select. If you just set up your site and have not had much traffic yet, these may show zero.

 

Content Type Tabs

Below the overview cards, you will see six tabs that let you drill into specific types of content:

  • Videos -- Performance data for your videos
  • Galleries -- Performance data for your photo galleries
  • Models -- Performance data for your model/performer profiles
  • Cam Performers -- Performance data for your live cam performers
  • Tags -- See which tags are performing best across all content
  • Categories -- See which categories are performing best

Click any tab to see detailed information for that content type.

Common Tasks

How to Check Overall Site Performance

Use this to get a quick snapshot of how your site is doing.

  1. Open the Content Analytics page.
  2. Select your desired time period (start with 30D for a good overview).
  3. Look at the overview cards at the top.
  4. Compare the CTR numbers across content types to see which type of content is getting the most engagement.

 

Tip: A CTR of 5% or higher is considered strong. Between 2% and 5% is average. Below 2% means visitors are seeing the content but not clicking on it.

 

How to Find Your Best Performing Content

Use this to discover which individual items are getting the most clicks from visitors.

  1. Click the tab for the content type you want to review (for example, Videos).
  2. Look at the Top Performing Content section.
  3. You will see a table showing your best items, sorted by click-through rate.
  4. Items with a green CTR badge are your strongest performers.

[Screenshot: content-analytics-top-performers]

Each row in the table shows:

Column What It Means
Content ID A unique number identifying the item
Title The name of the video, gallery, model, or performer
Impressions How many times it was shown to visitors
Clicks How many times visitors clicked on it
CTR The click-through rate, shown with a color badge
Avg Position Where the item typically appears in your listings
Note: Only items with a meaningful number of views appear here, so a single video viewed once with one click will not show up as a "top performer."

How to Find Content That Needs Improvement

Use this to identify items that are being shown to visitors but are not getting clicked.

  1. Click the tab for the content type you want to review.
  2. Scroll down to the Low Performing Content section.
  3. Review the items listed -- these have been seen by many visitors but have low click-through rates.

 

Warning: Low-performing content is being shown to visitors but is not attracting clicks. Consider updating the thumbnail image, rewriting the title, or improving the description to make these items more appealing.

 

How to See Which Tags Perform Best

Use this to understand which tags are driving the most engagement across all your content.

  1. Click the Tags tab.
  2. The Top and Low Performers sections will be replaced by a tag performance table.
  3. Browse through the list to see each tag along with how much content uses it, total impressions, clicks, and CTR.
  4. Use the Previous and Next buttons at the bottom to move through the list (50 tags shown per page).
  5. Click the Details button next to any tag to open a popup with all the individual content items using that tag.

[Screenshot: content-analytics-tags]

 

Tip: Tags with high impressions but low CTR might indicate that the tag is popular for search but the content behind it is not matching visitor expectations. Consider reviewing the content tagged with those terms.

 

How to See Which Categories Perform Best

  1. Click the Categories tab.
  2. Browse the category performance table.
  3. Use Previous and Next to page through results.
  4. Click Details next to any category to see all the content in that category with individual performance numbers.

How to Look Up a Specific Piece of Content

If you want to check the performance of one particular video, gallery, model, or cam performer:

  1. First, click the tab matching the content type (for example, click Videos if you want to look up a video).
  2. Scroll down to the Individual Content Lookup section.
  3. Type the content's ID number into the search field.
  4. Click Search.
  5. You will see that item's total impressions, clicks, CTR, average position, and the date range of tracked data.

 

Warning: Make sure you have the correct tab selected before searching. If you are on the Tags or Categories tab, the lookup will not work. Switch to Videos, Galleries, Models, or Cam Performers first.

 

How to Use the Tag or Category Details Popup

When you click Details next to a tag or category, a popup window opens with more information:

  1. At the top, you will see summary numbers: total content items, total impressions, total clicks, average CTR, and which content types are included.
  2. Below that, a table lists every content item associated with that tag or category.
  3. Each item shows its type (color-coded), title, impressions, clicks, and CTR.
  4. Use Previous and Next to page through items if there are more than 100.
  5. Close the popup by clicking the X button in the top right corner, or by clicking anywhere outside the popup.

How to Check Which Pages Generate the Most Traffic

  1. Scroll down to the Page Performance section (visible regardless of which tab is selected).
  2. This table shows which pages on your site are generating the most content impressions.
  3. You can see the page name, total impressions, unique visitor sessions, and how many different content items were displayed.

[Screenshot: content-analytics-page-stats]

 

Note: This section helps you understand which pages on your site are the busiest. If a page has many impressions but content on it has low CTR, the page layout or content selection on that page may need attention.

 


Understanding CTR Color Badges

Throughout the dashboard, click-through rates are shown with color-coded badges to help you quickly assess performance:

Badge Color CTR Range What It Means
Green 5% or higher Excellent -- visitors are engaging well with this content
Yellow 2% to 5% Average -- there is room for improvement
Red Below 2% Low -- this content may need updated thumbnails, titles, or descriptions

Tips for New Users

 

Tip:
  • Start by checking the 30D (30 days) view to get a balanced picture of your site's performance.
  • Focus on improving your low performers first -- they are already getting visibility, so small improvements to thumbnails or titles can make a big difference.
  • Check the Tags and Categories tabs regularly to see which topics your visitors are most interested in.
  • Use the Page Performance section to understand which parts of your site drive the most traffic.
  • Come back to this page weekly to track whether your changes are improving engagement.

 


Troubleshooting

The dashboard shows no data at all

What you see: All the statistics show zero or the page says "No data available."

How to fix it:

  1. Make sure your site has been receiving visitor traffic. Brand new sites will not have any data yet.
  2. Try selecting a longer time period (such as 90D or 1Y) to see if there is older data available.
  3. If your site has been active but you still see no data, contact your system administrator to verify that impression and click tracking are properly set up.

 

The page shows a security error

What you see: A message about an invalid token or security error.

How to fix it:

  1. Refresh the page by clicking the Refresh button or pressing F5 on your keyboard.
  2. If the problem continues, log out of the admin panel and log back in.
  3. If it still occurs, try clearing your browser's cookies for this site.

 

Data seems to load slowly

What you see: Loading spinners appear for a long time before data shows up.

How to fix it:

  1. Try selecting a shorter time period (such as 7D instead of 1Y). Larger time ranges take longer to process.
  2. The Tags and Categories sections may take longer to load than others because they analyze data across all your content. This is normal for sites with a lot of content.
  3. If the page is consistently slow, contact your system administrator to check that the analytics data is being pre-processed correctly.

 

A content lookup returns no results

What you see: You searched for a content ID but got a "No data found" message.

How to fix it:

  1. Double-check that you have the correct tab selected. If you are looking up a video, make sure the Videos tab is active.
  2. Verify that the ID number you entered is correct.
  3. The item may not have received any impressions during the selected time period. Try a longer time range.

 

An orange "Demo Mode" banner appears at the top

What you see: An orange banner across the top of the page indicating the system is in demonstration mode.

How to fix it: This means the page is set to read-only demonstration mode. Contact your system administrator if you believe this should not be active.
