Earnings per click (EPC)
The average revenue generated per affiliate link click — calculated by dividing total commissions earned by total clicks — a key metric affiliates use to compare program profitability.
How Earnings per click (EPC) work
EPC = total commissions ÷ total clicks. If an affiliate generated $500 in commissions from 1,000 clicks, their EPC is $0.50. EPC is calculated per affiliate in Partnero's reporting. A higher EPC signals a more efficient and profitable program from the affiliate's perspective.
Why it matters for your program
Affiliates use EPC to decide where to focus their promotional effort. A program with a high EPC will attract more affiliate time and resources than a low-EPC competitor — even if the commission rate appears higher on paper. Understanding your program's EPC relative to competitors helps you position your program more effectively in recruitment conversations.
