    Hi there,

    Those are the average merchant's payments per 100 clicks.

    Cheers

    No mate. That is the average you could expect to earn from every 100 people sent to their site. But that will depend on the quality of your site and your traffic. Good sites might be making a few hundred dollars from 100 clicks sent and the bad ones will probaly have to send 5-600 visitors before making a single $10-15 commission.

    Although you can find some merchants who will pay you just for clicks sent regardless if a sale is made or not but don't expect such a high EPC from them.

    As briz said. That is just an average of all publishers per 100 sent to the site. Someone has to buy before you make anything and depending on your niche and what you are trying to market, your visitors may or may not buy. There are very few advertisers on CJ, if any, who just pays on clicks. Your visitors either need to purchase something or to sign up for something.

    This is exactly what they mean just incase you are all still wondering:

    3 month EPC £26.35 GBP (view trend) - this is roughly how much every affiliate that promotes this merchants program earns from every 100 clicks calculated on a 3 months basis. This is an average so just because it says that you may earn them amounts, doesn't mean you will. This is the average of what every affiliate is earning put together and is not calculated on a per affiliate basis.

    7 day EPC £33.07 GBP (view trend) - this is the same as the above, but is calculated on the last 7 days of data only instead of 30.

    Hope you understand. lol
