When you
log
into your Google AdSense account your AdSense API referral earnings will be
displayed in the Referrals section on the overview screen. The information
displayed on the overview screen is a bit different from other referral
programs, as described below.
For AdSense API referrals, "clicks" correspond to the number of new publisher
accounts created. "CTR" (Click through rate) has no meaning with the AdSense API
and this column should be ignored. "Sign-ups" will always be zero -- AdSense API
sign-ups are reported as clicks. There are three possible types of
"conversions": a $5 conversion when a publisher reaches $5 in earnings, a $250
conversion when a publisher reaches $100 in earnings, and a $2000 bonus
conversion that a developer is eligible for once a year when 25 publishers each
reach $100 in earnings. All three types are counted as a single conversion and
are tracked collectively in the Conversions column. In the above example, the
developer has had five $5 conversions and one $250 conversion. For more
information on AdSense API referrals, see the
referral
bonuses page.
