Internal Publisher Report

NOTE: This report is for internal use only and should not be presented to the client. Use the normal Publisher Report when meeting with the client.

What is Content Syndication?

Content syndication is a method of republishing content on other sites in order to reach a broader audience. Syndicated content not only increases your reach and brand awareness, it also builds links and can help drive more traffic to your original article.

Content syndication networks place your content on a variety of sites. They charge on a cost-per-lead (or CPL) basis.

Internal Publisher Report

This report gives an overview of the selected campaign by publisher and only reports on inquiries in a campaign with a Source Type of Content Syndication. The main grid displays the number of inquiries successfully entered into WMS, de-duped out at the source and target levels, pending verification, accepted & rejected by the client and the general cost for leads passed to the client (Price Per Lead and Gross Cost).

The internal publisher report should only be used within EIMS as it includes additional financial information that is not suitable for client facing meetings. The Price Per Lead and Gross Cost metrics are separated by client, publisher, and the margin between the values to calculate the profit taken by EIMS.
