Affiliate income is four numbers multiplied together. Seeing them separately makes it obvious which one is worth working on, and how much traffic a given commission actually requires — which is usually more than people expect.

Revenue per visitor is the figure to track over time — it is the one that reflects whether the content is improving.
A model, not a projection. Real conversion rates vary enormously by niche, offer and traffic source, and no rate here should be treated as typical until you have measured your own.
Which number to work on
Because the terms multiply, a change in any one has the same proportional effect. In practice, commission per conversion is usually easiest to change (a different offer in the same niche), conversion rate is largely outside your control, and traffic is slowest but compounds. Doubling a 1% click-through rate is often easier than doubling traffic.
Common mistakes
- Using optimistic rates from a case study. Measure your own before planning around a number.
- Assuming all traffic is equal. Someone searching to buy converts many times better than someone browsing.
- Choosing an offer for its commission rather than its fit. A high commission on something readers do not need converts at zero.
- Forgetting refunds and reversals, which reduce paid commission after the fact.
Common questions
- What conversion rate is realistic?
- It varies far too much by niche and offer to give a useful figure. Free-signup offers convert far better than paid purchases, and buying-intent traffic converts far better than informational traffic. Treat the default here as a placeholder, not a benchmark.
- Why is my actual revenue lower than this?
- Usually cookie windows, refunds, or traffic with lower purchase intent than assumed. The model is arithmetic; the gap is almost always in the assumed rates.
