Gross Sales and Commissions Report

This report allows you to easily compare your sales and total commissions together with the gross sales and gross total commissions for each advertiser.

Individual Item Report

This report shows your sales broken down by the time and date that each item was sold. You can view each sale according to time of day, transaction date, advertiser name, SKU, product name, the number of items, and total commission.

Link Type Report

This report shows which of your links are working most effectively. You can add columns to track and compare the activity of each link type used and to evaluate the performance of each individual link.

Media Optimization Report

This report offers a near real-time snapshot of the transactions that you refer to advertisers. This allows you to monitor placements and make other strategic decisions almost simultaneously. This report is available from advertisers who report their transaction data in real-time and who have approved you for the Media Optimization Report.

Multi-Touch Commissioning Report

This report is for publishers who accepted a first-click offer from an advertiser. It reports first- and last-click commissions earned, the click dates, and the advertiser paying each commission.

Non-Commissionable Sales Report

This report displays transactions that did not result in commissions as well as the reason why the commission could not be paid.

Offer Report

This report allows you to compare and analyze the success of the different types of programs among your advertiser accounts. You can view impressions, click-throughs, sales, commissions, and more for each offer.

Product Success Report

This report tells you about the products that have been bought by customers who were referred from your site.

Revenue Reports

These reports detail which days, weeks, and months are your most successful. You can view impressions, click-throughs, orders, items sold, sales, and commissions by period.

Sales and Activity Report

This report shows the performance of your participating advertiser programs. Add columns to analyze the effectiveness of certain link types, the products sold, and the revenue generated.

Signature Activity Report

If you use our Signature technology, this report shows your link activity down to the individual user level. Even if you do not use the Signature u1 value in your links, you can still run the Signature Activity report to view all your link activity.

Signature Orders Report

This report provides an itemized view of transactions made by each member, organization, or subsite. Like the Signature Activity Report, you can still run this report even if you do not use the Signature u1 value in your links.

Order Lock Report

This report is for publishers partnered with advertisers who are enabled for Enhanced Order Locking (EOL). View the instructions for running this report. Click the report name for more information.

Lock Status Report

If your advertiser partners are enabled for EOL, use this report to view the status of your transactions, whether locked or unlocked. This allows you to know if a transaction can still be changed or cancelled or if it is about to be billed.
