Description
Return on Investment. Shows how profitable the campaign is relative to the invested funds.
How it is calculated
ROI = (Profit / Cost) × 100%
Where to find
Calculated based on income and cost data in the tracker or manually via a calculator.
What it affects
ROI is used to evaluate the overall efficiency of the campaign and make scaling decisions.
How to improve
Low or negative ROI → investments do not pay off. What to do: reduce CPA, optimize creatives, increase landing page conversion. High ROI → the campaign uses the budget effectively. What to do: carefully increase traffic volume while controlling indicator stability.
Description
How much revenue is generated for every unit of currency spent on advertising.
How it is calculated
ROAS = Income / Cost × 100%
Where to find
In advertising analytics and trackers where revenue data is available.
What it affects
Helps understand how effectively the ad budget is spent, without accounting for additional costs.
How to improve
Low ROAS → ads bring little revenue relative to costs. What to do: increase average order value (APV), test a more expensive offer, improve CR. High ROAS → the ad budget works effectively. What to do: scale the funnel and maintain a stable CPA.
Description
Net profit of the ad campaign after deducting all expenses.
How it is calculated
Profit = Income – Cost
Where to find
income — in the affiliate network or tracker cost — in the ad network dashboard
What it affects
Profit is the key indicator of the final result. It shows whether you are making or losing money.
How to improve
Low Profit or loss → expenses exceed income. What to do: lower CPC, improve CR, test another offer or GEO. High Profit → campaign brings stable net profit. What to do: scale budget, expand audiences, connect new traffic sources.
Description
Cost of 1000 ad impressions.
How it is calculated
CPM = (Cost / Impressions) × 1000
Where to find
In ad networks and DSPs where impression statistics are available.
What it affects
Used to evaluate the cost of reach and compare traffic sources.
How to improve
High CPM → expensive reach, high auction competition. What to do: expand the audience, test other GEOs, change display times. Low CPM → cheap impressions. What to do: check traffic quality and conversion to avoid untargeted impressions.
Description
Average cost of one click on an ad.
How it is calculated
CPC = Cost / Clicks
Where to find
In the ad network dashboard.
What it affects
Helps evaluate the price of incoming traffic and bid efficiency.
How to improve
High CPC → clicks are expensive, the audience might be too narrow, or the creative is poor. What to do: test new creatives, change targeting, optimize bids. Low CPC → clicks are cheap, which is good for testing and scaling. What to do: increase traffic volume if CR remains stable.
Description
Cost of one target action (registration, deposit, purchase).
How it is calculated
CPA = Cost / Number of Actions
Where to find
In the tracker or affiliate network based on confirmed conversions.
What it affects
One of the key metrics in CPA marketing. Used to evaluate offer payback.
How to improve
High CPA → the action is too expensive, margin decreases. What to do: improve the creative + landing page funnel, test another offer, remove inefficient placements. Low CPA → actions are acquired at a favorable price. What to do: scale the source and increase the budget.
Description
Ad click-through rate — the percentage of clicks from total impressions.
How it is calculated
CTR = (Clicks / Impressions) × 100%
Where to find
In the ad source statistics.
What it affects
Reflects the quality of the creative and audience relevance. A high CTR lowers traffic costs.
How to improve
Low CTR → the ad does not attract audience attention. What to do: update creatives, change the headline, add triggers or clarify the offer in the ad. High CTR → the ad generates interest. What to do: check if high conversion is maintained after the click.
Description
Percentage of clicks that turned into a target action.
How it is calculated
CTC = (Conversions / Clicks) × 100%
Where to find
In the tracker or affiliate network analytics.
What it affects
Helps evaluate the efficiency of the creative + landing + offer funnel.
How to improve
Low CTC → users click but don't perform the action. What to do: improve the landing page, speed up page load times, simplify the registration form. High CTC → traffic is high-quality and the offer is relevant. What to do: increase traffic volume and test bid increments.
Description
Percentage of target actions that became a lead or purchase.
How it is calculated
CTB = (Purchases / Clicks) × 100%
Where to find
In the offer or affiliate network statistics.
What it affects
Shows the quality of paying audiences and monetization efficiency.
How to improve
Low CTB → users reach the offer but don't pay. What to do: check payment methods, improve brand trust, add a bonus or promotion. High CTB → the audience is solvent. What to do: scale the funnel and test upsells.
Description
Average revenue generated by a single purchase or deposit.
How it is calculated
APV = Total Income / Number of Purchases
Where to find
Total income and number of purchases — in the affiliate network; if needed — in the tracker.
What it affects
APV directly affects campaign profitability and scaling potential. The higher the average order value, the more revenue you can make with the same traffic volume and CPA.
How to improve
Low APV → users make small purchases. What to do: add upsells, bonuses for larger deposits, bundle offers. High APV → average order value is high, revenue grows faster. What to do: retain the audience, implement loyalty programs.
Description
Average profit per click.
How it is calculated
APC = Profit / Clicks
Where to find
Calculated in the tracker or via a metric calculator.
What it affects
Used to evaluate the scaling potential of an ad campaign.

FAQ — Frequently Asked Questions about Metrics
What's more important — ROI or Profit?
Profit shows absolute earnings, while ROI shows relative investment efficiency. Both are crucial for scaling.
Which metrics should be calculated first?
The minimum set is Profit, ROI, CPA, CTR, and CPC. The rest help analyze the funnel in more depth.
Why doesn't a high CTR guarantee profit?
CTR reflects clickability, not traffic quality. Without good CTC and CTB, a campaign can still be unprofitable.
How to know it's time to scale a campaign?
If ROI is consistently positive, APC is higher than CPC, and CPA is lower than the offer payout.
Can I use the calculator without a tracker?
Yes, you can manually enter cost, clicks, and conversions, but a tracker provides more accurate data.
