Structural Holes and Banner-Ad Click-Throughs

چکیده
This paper examines the impact of social capital on advertising performance in an online social network.

As predicted, banner advertisements receive significantly more clicks when placed on websites that bridge structural holes, i.e. bridge otherwise disconnected segments of the network.
