Oddly enough, I have been considering putting up a "partnership programs" area for my stats, but the big problem is that figuring out the "per click" totals would be mind numbingly hard & for some reason, I feel that is needed to make an accurate assesment of a sponsor.
Ratios are good, but let's say a % program was converting at 1:50 on a trial & only 25% were converting over to monthly - so let's say you get 4 sign-ups on a program that's has a $5.00 trial & $30.00 monthly after that:
(and let's make the math easy - LOL)
200 Hits
4 X 50% of $5.00 = $10.00
1 recurring = $15.00
So off those 200 hits you got $25 or $0.13/click
I found 1 site in my stats that had a 1:50 ratio exactly & that's producing $0.51/click.
Even if you bumped it up to 2 recurring the 1st month & then one the next:
$10 (trials) + $45 (3 recurrings) = $55 or $0.28/click
And yes, I know that some of these signups will say a lot longer, but once they start recurring month after month after month, that's where the math gets really fucking hard
This is why I'm still onthe fence about a good way to publish partnership program stats
