Affiliate commission of espotting

[max_rk]

I am interested to find out what percentage of revenue generated trough clicks espotting gives to its affiliates.

I would imagine bigger partners get about 70% but how much get the medium traffic sites?

You will find that Espotting affiliates are contractually obliged not to discuss their revenue share.

However, I can tell you that the standard rate for PPC companies to share with medium sized affiliates is between 40% and 50%, depending upon your level of traffic, your quality of traffic and how much they want you.

Whats your definition of a medium traffic site?

Hi Martin,

Whats your definition of a medium traffic site?

That would be something like shopping.net, searchdemon.co.uk, ukindex.co.uk.

What is your cut Martin? :)

BTW, nice to see you on this board as well.

I suggest all 3 of you go and read the Terms of your contracts, I am sure you should not be revealing them ;)

I do not encourage to break any terms or conditions.

Fell free to discuss the subject:)

I haven't revealed anything. Just fishing to find out how much traffic max_rk has :)

From what I gather revenue shares vary according to a number of factors, historical growth and projected growth, exclusivity and willingness to work closely with Espotting team on traffic quality. Trust and confidentiality is also a factor so I think it unlikely that any of Espottings mid level partners, of which we are one will be revealing any contractual details here.

Many long term affiliates though have probably renegotiated contracts based on past performance, I don't know what is offered to new affiliates, it was 15% at one point, I imagine it depends on many different factors.

I've noticed that Espotting no longer tell you what commission % you are receiving.

Previously, the online reports would show what % you were getting for both referrals + search results.

These have mysteriously disappeared.

geezajob, isn't that something that you should already know?

I am also not so keen on the new multi-account reporting system. I would like to see the old "linked" system put back in as well. The two together would be a nice combination.

They could also do with some quick links for the multi account reporting, to allow users to find their traffic numbers for the previous day, week, month etc. At the moment I have to use the annoying date picking menus, which is quite tedious.

Anyone received the monthly affiliate report for October yet?

[geezajob]

- "geezajob, isn't that something that you should already know? "

Yes, sort of.

I have many accounts with them, for various websites, having negotiated different commissions for each website, and a separate commission for referrals and search results.

It would be convenient to show what the commission % is on each report, and it begs the question why do they no longer display it? (and went out of their way to remove it)

And removing the "linked account" feature makes it even more difficult to manage.

I'm more interested in the percentage of those clicks that result in decent results for the advertisers that effectively pay the commissions in what they spend.

I've noticed some real anomalies that in some sectors we might spend 10-15 times as much money on Google or Overture than Espotting traffic for the same keywords/sector, primarily because none of the affiliates have identified that they can get a decent commission from these sectors........hence no effort to deliver traffic, yet on the highly monetised ones where the CPC is higher on Espotting than elsewhere there is a bun fight going on to deliver traffic.

Seems like shopping.net is Espottings saviour at the moment, driving a lot of traffic post Yahoo.
