The metrics glossary

Views

How many times your snippet rendered an ad. One render = one view, no matter what the visitor did afterward.

Clicks

How many times a visitor clicked an ad you served and went to the advertiser's site.

CTR (Click-Through Rate)

Clicks divided by views, as a percentage. CTR = Clicks ÷ Views × 100. Higher CTR usually means the offer is well-matched to your audience or it's in a good placement.

Conversions

Qualifying actions. For coreg this is a "Yes" opt-in. For CPA it's a conversion event the advertiser fired back to us.

Earnings

Your share of what advertisers paid. The 70/30 split is already applied - this is the actual money owed to you.

eCPM (effective CPM)

Earnings ÷ Views × 1,000. Your effective revenue per thousand views, no matter what type of campaigns you're running. This is the single best apples-to-apples metric for comparing offer performance.

eCPC (effective CPC)

Earnings ÷ Clicks. Your effective revenue per click. Useful for offers where clicks are the primary success metric.

What's a good number?

eCPM varies wildly by vertical and audience. $1 eCPM is a reasonable baseline for general traffic; finance or insurance audiences can earn $5-$20+.

CTR for display is usually 0.5-2%. Coreg "Yes" rates often run 15-40% - yes/no widgets are much more engaging than banner ads.

What should I optimize for?

  1. Pick offers with strong eCPM. Sort Reports by Earnings (descending), look at the top performers, and weight your placements toward those.
  2. Watch CTR by offer. If an offer has thousands of views but very few clicks, it's not resonating - swap it out.
  3. Compare by site. If you operate multiple sites, group Reports by Site. The same offer can earn 5× more on one site than another based on audience match.
  4. Try different placements. The same snippet above the fold vs. below the fold can swing CTR by 3-5×. If you have an analytics tool, A/B test placement.

When does data update?

Views, clicks, and conversions are recorded the moment they happen and show up in your reports within a minute or two. Earnings update on the same cadence - no end-of-day delay.
