Advertisement views/clicks/CTR are not recorded.

Obviously, I can just calculate the change in views, but that doesn't give me too much information on how many clicks my advertisement is getting (since plenty of people have bought my resource before I bought the ad slot). Knowing how many clicks it receives is the statistic that actually tells me how useful this advertisement spot is. It's not really fair to withhold this information from people who have paid money to have their services advertised.

I would def buy one if they could fix this. This to me is very important and I think most users who own any company & server would agree with me & this.

Unfortunately I believe that the Ads Manager addon does not allow you to track the views and clicks you get on a sticky ad, that's functionality exclusive to the banner advertisements that are offered on the site. If it was a possibility I would definitely have enabled it because I agree that it is an important metric to be able to keep track of when deciding whether or not you want to keep using the ads in the future.

In a few months after some of the other high-priority development is done I hope to get a system developed for tracking analytics of advertisements since it's a pretty important part of how MC-Market makes money and will benefit our users.

In the meantime though, I'll move this to denied since it's not something we can simply enable at the moment. Denied, thanks for the suggestion.
