Metrics glossary
Metrics are aggregated from the tracker (Keitaro/Binom) and Facebook Ads. Focused on media buying: spend, conversions, payback.
Key concepts
- Partner — a CPA / affiliate network that provides offers (affiliate_network_id in the tracker).
- Offer — the specific product / site traffic is driven to; belongs to a partner and defines how revenue is counted.
- Revenue — comes from the tracker via advertiser postbacks when a user deposits (or a fixed amount per conversion).
- Buyer Code — a buyer's unique identifier that matches their campaign group in the tracker; without a correct one, the buyer's data won't appear.
- Agent — a partner who provides ad / Facebook accounts for a % commission on spend; reduces Profit.
- Approach — an optional marketing-angle tag for a creative; pulled from the tracker or set manually.
- Creative name — the immutable key linking a CRM creative to the Facebook ad name and the tracker's creativeNameParameter.
- Fake clicks — synthetic clicks CRM writes to the tracker (daily, 3 AM UTC) for ads with spend but no clicks, so CPI is computed correctly.
- OAS (On After Spend) — revenue from deposits arriving N days after FTD / registration — the payback long tail.
- Not connected / Unknown ad account — an ad account present in tracker data but not linked in CRM.
