How to interpret this result

Attributed sales revenue divided by outbound clicks—sales dollars per click.

Differs from EPC, which focuses on commissions—pair both when brands want full-funnel talk.

Returns and fees still sit downstream unless you net them into revenue first.

Common mistakes

  • Confusing attributed sales-per-click with guaranteed cash in your pocket.
  • Mixing multi-currency sales without converting to one currency.
  • Applying short windows when big orders convert weeks later outside the attribution.

What to do next

Pair with outbound traffic quality calculators or EPC variants when payout stories diverge.

How to improve this result

  • Improve average order composition when attributable revenue climbs slowly.
  • Separate cold versus warm placements when diagnosing mix.
  • Use one currency when partners span regions.
