EPC is a key metric in affiliate marketing. It shows how much money you earn per click on a creative or link.
Formula:
EPC = Revenue ÷ Number of Clicks
Example:
You received 300 clicks and earned $900 → EPC = $3.
This means each click generated an average of $3. EPC is a quick way to see if a traffic source or campaign is worth scaling.
How to use EPC:
- Compare offers: if one has EPC $0.7 and another $2.3, the second is better, even if clicks are lower or CPA is higher.
- Analyze creatives, formats, keywords, and placements to see what performs best and generates more revenue per click.
Conclusion:
EPC is a fast benchmark in affiliate marketing. Higher EPC usually means a stronger campaign, but it should be evaluated in context alongside other metrics.
