Haven’t been doing much with affiliate ads lately. Other than logging into my account every day to see the commissions, I haven’t applied for new offers, tested new offers, or even logged into my Google ads account to see how the ad dollars are being consumed in the past two days. Anyway, it’s all still test placement lately, so I guess I’ve just run a few cuts each per day.
Today, for the time being, let’s record the advertising fees and commission income of each alliance.
[1] A three-tier alliance L
This alliance has been suspended for more than half a month recently due to some unusual reasons. But the orders that ran before are still within the RD, so there are still commissions credited this month.
Advertising Fee: $0
Commission: $52.43
Tips: RD, that is, the effect of the advertisement is recognized period. Let’s say we placed a sneaker advertisement for advertiser A. Customer B clicked on the advertisement and arrived at A’s advertisement page, viewed some sneakers, registered an account, but did not make a purchase. 5 days later, customer B opened A’s website again and logged in to his account to buy a pair of basketball shoes. If advertiser A’s deemed cycle RD is greater than or equal to 5, then we can receive this commission. In general, the advertiser RD is basically within 14-30 days, i.e. 2-4 weeks, and to a lesser extent, it may be only 7 days or 1 day. Of course, it is better to have this indicator as big as possible.
[2] A third-tier affiliate D
The commission rate of this alliance is not even comparable to L, but the special period can only run first.
September 30th to October 3rd, 4 days, two series of ads, advertising costs ran a total of $ 16.1.
Alliance records to the IP number is 544, and google ads 568 clicks about the same!
Sold 15 orders, commission dollars about $111.5.
A little math, ROI = 111.5/16.1, about 7 less than one point. Barely okay.
Wait until after the commission settlement in September, and then enlarged to run.
[3] A top foreign network alliance A
Not to sell, the previous article also introduced Awin, let’s look at the inputs and outputs of the past few days how. First login into the affiliate account to see the orders and commissions
Seems to be ok, 16 clicks, generated 3 orders, commission was £14.14
A simple calculation of inputs and outputs:
£14.14 = $16.08 (£1 = $1.1378)
So, ROI = 16.08/0.66 = 24.
That’s an okay input-output ratio, right?
Actually, it’s not very scientific to calculate ROI like this above. Think about the RD explained earlier, and you’ll come to a realization.
Yes, today’s orders may not have been brought about by today’s advertising dollars. Thanks to RD, it is likely that the customers were brought by advertising dollars consumed a few days or even two weeks ago. Overall, the longer the statistical period is stretched, the more representative the calculated ROI is in theory.
This month’s goal is to exceed $1500 in commissions. Today, my estimate is about $164, progress is 10.9%.
The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard.
