Frequently Asked Questions

Why is earnings per click the key metric?

Because it tells you what a click is worth, which is what determines whether paid traffic can be bought profitably.

Does a higher commission rate always win?

No. A lower rate on a high-converting, high-value product usually beats a generous rate on a product nobody buys.
