Frequently Asked Questions
What CTR should I expect for affiliate links?
Platform varies: YouTube description links 1-3%, in-video mentions 3-8%, email 5-15%, blog posts 2-5%. Higher for: Strong CTA, relevant product, warm audience. Below 1% suggests poor offer-audience fit.
What is a good affiliate conversion rate?
Depends on product: Digital products 2-5%, physical products 1-3%, high-ticket 0.5-2%, SaaS 2-4%. Your pre-sold audience should convert 2-3x cold traffic. Under 1% suggests weak offer or funnel issues.
How do refunds affect affiliate earnings?
Refunds directly reduce commissions. 10% refund rate = 10% less earnings. High refund products (15%+) should have proportionally higher commissions. Some programs claw back refunded commissions months later.
What makes a good affiliate offer?
Look for: Commission 20%+ (or $30+ per sale), 30+ day cookie, low refund rate (<10%), good brand reputation, recurring commissions if applicable, quality product you'd actually use.
How do I compare affiliate offers?
Compare effective CPM (revenue per 1K views). A $100 commission with 1% conversion beats $20 with 3% conversion. Factor in: Cookie length, refund policy, payment terms, tracking reliability.
