Understanding the Earnings Report

As a Shopzilla Publisher, you produce earnings when the Shopzilla Website Activity that your users generate on Shopzilla results in revenue. Earnings typically depend on the level of integration and contextual appropriateness of the Sponsored Shopping Content on your site as well as the nature of your user’s activity on Shopzilla.

The Shopzilla Publisher Earnings Report can be shown for any date range you choose. It can also be filtered by day, week, month or placement ID and then be secondarily filtered by day, week, or month. Also, our reports give you the ability to sort by any of the columns presented, ascending or descending.

Let us explain what the different columns in your reports represent. Below is an example of what you might see if you created a report for "Last 7 Days" and then filter by day. In the reports, you will see Impressions, Clicks, Click thru Rate, Earnings, eEPC (effective Earnings per click), and eCPM (effective Commission per Mille - Impressions).
