Co-Branded Landing Page

This is a landing page that has been built to feature the logo and additional bespoke details of the site which referred the customer.

See example for Nectar on the Currys Publisher program: http://www.currys.co.uk/martprd/editorial/nectar

Setting up co-branded landing pages for top loyalty sites has proven to increase conversions. It serves to "hand-hold" the customer on their journey, when customers see the Nectar logo (in our example) they are reassured they have come to the correct page and will receive their nectar points upon purchase.

Co-registration Campaigns

Co-registration is the practice of collecting opt-ins for multiple organisations, and sometimes for types of products or services, on a website's registration page or on a paper subscription form.

An individual provides registration information once, but then opts in (via checkboxes) to receive marketing communications from multiple companies.

In other words, Advertisers will capture data such as email addresses and then share these with the Publisher afterwards (providing the user has opted in to receive additional marketing material)

Commission

(also known as CPA or reward)

Commission is the term for the money paid to a Publisher for providing leads or sales on an Advertiser's Publisher program. Awin completes two payment runs each month, once at the start and one mid month.

Commission Tiers

Commission Tiers can be established to reward Publishers increased commission for achieving greater amounts of volume. This can be based on the quantity of sales or the amount of revenue.

For more information see Performance Tiers

Commission Groups

Commissions can be divided into groups in order to reward different amounts for different items purchased.

For example, Play.com sell a variety of products which have varying levels of margin. They have established separate commission groups for DVD, CD, Games, Clothing, Electricals, Mobile, Books, Computing, Gadgets and Games Consoles. This allows them greater control of their ROI as well as granular reporting on category performance by publisher.

The commission group "code" is passed to Awin for each item in the customers basket within the "aw_parts" parameter in the tracking tag.

Confirmation/Thank-You Page

This is the page that a visitor comes to after making a purchase or providing lead information on an advertisers website. It is within the source code of this page that the Awin tracking tag resides.

Conversion

The number of sales divided by the number of clicks. This figure represents the percentage of people who go on to purchase after clicking on a publishers link.

Cookie

A cookie is a text file stored on a visitors computer, that contains pieces of information, including which publishers website they were on before they clicked on the banner/link that took them to the advertisers website.

Cookie Length

The length of time a cookie will remain on a users computer; the industry standard is 30 days. This means that if your tracking link is activated by a visitor to your site who purchases an item in 30 days time, you will be allocated the commission (providing you were the last referrer.)

Cookie Stuffing

This is a technique used to generate fraudulent publisher sales. A cookie or lots of cookies are placed on a visitors computer without them knowing. Subsequently when they then make a purchase the publisher is wrongly rewarded the commission.

When a visitor is on a page that is trying to cookie stuff they will never leave the website and wont be redirected to the advertisers site. These cookies are simply placed in the web browser without them knowing!

There are various methods used to stuff cookies some examples being via an invisible iFrame or popup.

CPA

CPA stands for "Cost Per Acquisition". This is the amount that the advertiser is willing to pay for an acquisition/lead. The cost per acquisition may be set as a percentage or fixed value, and is also a metric used to monitor performance and to set targets to.

CPC

Cost per click (CPC) is one of the online payment models by which advertisers pays for each click through made on their advertisement. Prices typically range from 2 pence to over 50 pence per click-through. This is an ideal method of payment for advertisers who need to guarantee they only pay for those viewers of the banner that click on it and visit a page on their site.

CPM

Cost per thousand (CPM) is one of the online payment models by which advertisers pay for every 1000 impressions of their advertisement. Prices typically range from £1 to over £50 per thousand impressions. This is an ideal method of payment for advertisers who want to guarantee only the number of people who sees their banner. The "M" in CPM is from the Roman numeral for 1000. The Roman numeral M was derived from the Latin word "mille" meaning "thousand".

Creative

For example dvd,bedtime stories, 19.99, 12.99, pg, 1, http://www.play.com/DVD/DVD/4-/5439885/Bedtime-Stories/Product.html

This represents: A DVD Title is Bedtime Stories RRP is £19.99 Price is £12.99 Rating is PG It is in stock "1" = Yes And the URL for the offer page

CTR

CTR stands for "Click Through Rate". This is measured as a percentage of visitors that view a banner advert and subsequently click through to the advertisers website.

For example, a banner serves 125,000 impressions (views) and 1,600 clicks, 125,000/1,600 = 1.3% CTR.

D

Datafeed

A Datafeed is supplied by an Advertiser, processed by Awin in order to ensure that all links and images are trackable by Awin. The Affiliate will then use the outputted datafeed within their websites.

De-Duplication

De-duplication is the process of attributing a sale to one online marketing channel on predefined conditions, these conditions will decide which tracking tag is shown at the confirmation of sale page.

Example: Where an advertiser runs their programme on two networks, de-duplication is essential to prevent paying for the same sale twice.

This can occur when a customer has visited publisher sites from both networks, and ends up with two publisher network cookies on their computer.

Using automatic de-duplication, the advertiser only displays the tracking for the network that last referred the customer. Therefore, only one network receives notification of the sale, thus removing the need to decline duplicate sales manually at the validations stage.

Discrepancy

A difference between the statistics recorded for the same ad on two different ad serving systems, e.g. between a publisher’s ad server and an agency’s ad server.

Up to 10-15% discrepancies are considered to be a normal result of the different tracking methodologies employed. Higher discrepancies may be produced by incorrect implementation of ad code, errors in ad setup etc.

Dynamic Web Page

A web page which is generated from a template at the time of request from the affilaite. This allows the addition of personalised elements, live feeds of data, and other dynamic data

E

EPC

The average Earnings per Click is one of the calculations publishers will look at when considering to promote an advertiser. It is perhaps most important for PPC publishers whom need to assure that their EPC is greater than the cost per click paid to the search engine.

EPC is calculated by dividing the total publisher commission within a certain timeframe by the number of clicks that were generated.

For example, Affiliate X made £950 in commission for June, and achieved 1,200 clicks, £950/1,200 = 79p.

So their EPC is 79p per click.

F

First Party Cookie

Flash (Adobe)
