Tracking Platform Metrics and Terms

Clicks (Tracker) – number

The amount of Ad Clicks (campaign link visits) reported by the tracking platform.


Landing Page Clicks – number

The amount of visitors which clicked on a call-to-action link inside your landing page (click to an offer link), as reported by the tracking platform.


Landing Page Ctr – percentage

The calculated landing page click-through rate percentage, based on landing page clicks and total clicks reported by the tracking platform.

Formula:
[Landing Page Ctr] = ( [Landing Page Clicks] / [ Clicks (Tracker)] ) x 100


Landing Page Cpc – currency

The calculated average landing page cost-per-click, based on the number of Landing Page Clicks reported by the tracking platform and the Amount Spent reported by the traffic source.

Formula:
[Landing Page Cpc] = [Amount Spent] / [ Landing Page Clicks]


Landing Page Cr – percentage

The calculated Landing Page Conversion Rate, based on the amount of Landing Page Clicks and Conversions (Tracker) reported by the tracking platform.

Formula:
[Landing Page Cr] = ( [Conversions (Tracker) ] / [Landing Page Clicks] ) x 100


Conversions (Tracker) – number

The number of conversion events reported by the tracking platform. Note: this does not include custom conversions. Only the main conversion event.


Cpa (Tracker) – currency

The calculated cost per action (acquisition) based on the number of conversions reported by the tracking platform and the amount spent reported by the traffic source.

Formula:
[Cpa (Tracker)] = [Amount Spent] / [Conversions (Tracker)]


Cvr (Tracker) – percentage

The calculated conversion rate based on the number of clicks and conversions reported by the tracking platform.


Formula:
[Cvr (Tracker)] = ( [Conversions (Tracker)] / [Clicks (Tracker)] ) x 100


Revenue (Tracker) – currency

Shows the generated revenue as reported by the tracking platform. Note: this does not include revenues from custom conversions. It only includes the main Revenue column of your tracker.


Net (Tracker) – currency

The calculated net profit based on the Amount Spent reported by the traffic source and the Revenue (Tracker) reported by the tracking platform.


Formula:
[Net (Tracker)] = [Revenue (Tracker)] – [Amount Spent]


Roi (Tracker) – percentage

The calculated return on investment based on the Amount Spend reported by the traffic source, and Revenue (Tracker) reported by the tracking platform.

Formula:
[Roi (Tracker)] = ( [Net (Tracker)] / [Amount Spent] ) x 100


Epc (Tracker) – currency

The calculated earning per click based on the Revenue (Tracker) and Clicks (Tracker) reported by the tracking platform.

Formula:
[Epc (Tracker)] = [Revenue (Tracker)] / [Clicks (Tracker)]


Epc – currency (best option)

The earning per click based on the Revenue (Tracker), reported by the tracking platform, and ad Clicks you paid for on the traffic source.
The reason why this version of Epc is needed is because sometimes tracking platforms might report more or less clicks, compared to the traffic source, so the Epc might not be as accurate as the one calculated on traffic source clicks.

Formula:
[Epc] = [Revenue (Tracker)] / [Clicks]


Payout – currency

The average revenue that each conversion is generating. Payout is automatically calculated using the Revenue (Tracker) and Conversions (Tracker), but you can also override the automatic payout by clicking on the Payout cell and entering a static value manually.

Formula:
[Payout] = [Revenue (Tracker)] / [Conversions (Tracker]

** Important: Please note that this value can also be set manually by overriding the actually calculated metric.


Est. Spent – currency

NOTE: Estimated Spend is only available if you have connected a tracking platform.
To make up for the delay some traffic sources have in reporting the accurate spend for the day, we try to estimate its value using the average Cpc and multiplying it by the amount of clicks reported by your trackign platform, Clicks (Tracker).

Formula:
[Est. Spent] = [Avg. Cpc] x [Clicks (Tracker)]


Est. Net – currency

The estimated net profit, calculated based on the Estimated Spent (calculated in TheOptimizer) and the number of Clicks (Tracker) reported by the tracking platform.

Formula:
[Est. Net] = [Revenue (Tracker)] – [Est. Spent]


Est. Roi – percentage

The calculated return on investment based on the Estimated Spent (calculated by TheOptimizer) and Revenue (Tracker) reported by the tracking platform.

Formula:
[Est. Roi] = ( [Est. Net] / [Est. Spent] ) x 100
