What are Conversions?

Conversion refers to a specific action that an affiliate successfully generates for an advertiser, allowing advertisers and affiliates to measure the success of their campaigns.
The nature of conversions can vary depending on the specific goals and objectives of the advertiser’s campaign. Common types of conversions in affiliate marketing include Sales, Leads, Clicks, Downloads, and App Installations.

For example: if a user clicks on an affiliate’s ad and buys the product, the affiliate receives a commission, while the advertiser gains a new customer and earns revenue from the sale.
