• 0:47 | helping you identify which partners are
• 0:49 | worth prioritizing in your budget.
• 0:51 | Average order value is another important
• 0:54 | metric.
• 0:55 | It indicates the average amount spent

• 1:28 | affiliate links are clicked, showing
• 1:30 | initial interest. Impressions tell you
• 1:32 | how often affiliate content is
• 1:34 | displayed, which helps assess reach. The

• 2:04 | complete a desired action, which is
• 2:07 | essential for evaluating traffic
• 2:09 | quality. Cost per acquisition is another
• 2:12 | vital metric as it shows the average
• 2:14 | cost to acquire a customer through
• 2:16 | affiliates. Customer lifetime value is
• 2:20 | important too as it estimates the total
• 2:22 | revenue expected from a customer over
• 2:25 | time. Lastly, revenue per click combines
• 2:28 | traffic quality and monetization
• 2:30 | efficiency.
• 2:32 | Finally, let’s discuss affiliate focused

• 2:46 | tracks individual contributions to total
• 2:49 | sales, enabling targeted budget
• 2:51 | allocation. The affiliate link
• 2:53 | clicktosale time measures the time
• 2:56 | between a click and a sale, providing
• 2:58 | insight into the customer journey.
• 3:01 | Additionally, consider traffic source
• 3:03 | distribution. Knowing which channels
• 3:05 | drive valuable traffic helps you focus
