Frequently Asked Questions

What is affiliate marketing commission and how does it work?
Affiliate marketing is a performance-based revenue model where publishers earn a commission for promoting third-party products. When a visitor clicks your unique tracking link and converts into a paying customer, you receive a percentage of the sale value or a fixed bounty.
What are typical affiliate commission rates across industries?
Commission rates vary widely by vertical: SaaS/Software (20%–50% recurring monthly), Digital Courses/E-books (30%–70%), Physical E-commerce (3%–10%), High-Ticket B2B ($100–$2,000+ flat fee), and Financial Products ($50–$300 CPA).
What is EPC (Earnings Per Click) and why is it critical?
Earnings Per Click (EPC) measures the average revenue generated from every single visitor who clicks your affiliate link (Total Earnings ÷ Total Clicks). It normalizes performance across different product price points and conversion rates.
What conversion rate should I expect on affiliate traffic?
Standard blog and content affiliate links typically convert between 1.0% and 3.5%. Highly targeted product comparison pages, email newsletters, and coupon codes often achieve 4% to 8%+ conversion rates.
