Affiliate Link Performance
From Wiki
The link performance report details the performance of links over a set period of time. This information is useful for identifying trends in performance on particular programmes in accordance with how the merchant has been promoted (text links, feed, banners etc).
Details include:
- Link Name
- Link type e.g. banner, text link, etc
- Pending commissions
- Confirmed Commissions
- Total commissions
- Total Impressions
- Total clicks
- EPC
- Conversion rate
You are able to select a report from 4 options; Today, Week, Month and Year. Your link performance report will display the data based on which option is selected.
Alternatively, you can select the date range of your choice using the drop-down boxes on the top section under "edit this report". Once you select your date range click the "generate report" button.
How do I generate a report based on a merchant of my choice?
The report will display your link performance results for all your merchants by default. The "select merchant" box is provided to display results based on a particular merchant(s) of your choice. You can select your merchant by clicking on the merchant name, hold CTRL to select more than one merchant.
Alternatively you can select all merchants or deselect merchants by clicking the links below the box.
Can I generate a report based on transaction date or validation date?
Reports can be generated based on transaction date and validation date using the dropdown box provided below the "select merchants" box.
Is there a way I can sort the table to display data to my preference?
The table contains a date column that can be sorted in ascending or descending order by clicking the date link, the up/down arrow next to it indicates the current order of the data.
The table also contains heading columns grouped in 3 sections: "pending", "confirmed" and "totals". Below each of these groups are three columns; number, value, and commission.
No. - Means the number of transactions for each group (Pending, and Confirmed) the total number of transactions includes both pending and confirmed transactions.
Value - This represents the total sales revenue of transactions for each group (pending and confirmed). The total includes the value for both pending and confirmed sales.
Comm. - This is the Value of commissions for transactions for each group (pending and confirmed) the total includes commissions for both pending and confirmed sales.
Why does it display a previous date in the top-left corner of my report (e.g. May 2007)?
This is an intelligent function that allows you to navigate to previous reports based on the current "From" and "To" date range. E.g. if the current date range is 3 days it skips forward or back 3 days, if the current data range is 30 days it skips forward or back 30 days.
How do I print my report?
You can print your report by clicking on the print icon on the top right hand corner of the table.
How do I export my report?
You can export your report via the excel icon on the top right hand corner of the table. This report is only available in .CSV format.
How do I reset the report settings?
Once you've run a report and you wish to reset the settings back to default click the red "Reset Settings" icon.
