      Advertiser benchmark reports

      Gain valuable insights into your industry's performance with benchmark reports. These reports are generated by aggregating data from all advertisers within a particular category, also commonly referred to as industry, vertical or segment.

      2. Cost per action - The sum of commission and override divided by the count of transactions.

      3. Conversion rate - The sum of transactions divided by the sum of clicks.

      4. Return on ad spend (ROAS) - The sum of sales value divided by the sum of commissions and override.

      5. Effective cost per click (ECPC) - The sum of commissions and override divided by the count of clicks.
