Publisher Report

Lets start with a quick definition for 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.

Publisher Report

This report gives an overview of the selected campaign by client, publisher, and content syndication campaign name. The main grid displays the number of leads successfully entered into WMS, leads de-duped out at the source and target levels, leads uploaded to an external source (if set up for the campaign), leads accepted & rejected by the client and general cost information (Price Per Lead and Gross Cost).

Filtering

The Filter button is available on the top right corner of the report. By clicking on the button, the filter will be displayed and you can filter the data grid by the following parameters:

  • Time periods (filters by Inquiry created date):
    • All time
    • Daily (today & yesterday)
    • Weekly (this week & last week. A week runs from Monday - Sunday)
    • Monthly (this month & last month)
    • Quarterly (this quarter & last quarter)
  • Publisher
  • Agency Placement Name
  • Campaign
  • Date range (filters by Inquiry created date)

To clear a filter hover over the drop down box and click the rubber icon .

Understanding the Numbers

Due to the many different types of marketing tactic the numbers in this report can often be misunderstood. Here’s a quick ‘cheat-sheet’ to understand the most important numbers.

Publisher Report

Recieved From Publisher

 The total number of Inquiries imported for each publisher prior to any de duplication.

Declined By Client

Leads client has specifically rejected and EIMS have excluded from delivered results. This lead is rejected at INQ stage in the funnel.

Rejected Duplicate (Own Data)

 Duplicate rows within the import files for each publisher.

EIMS Investigating

 The total number of Inputs (INQs) that the client has declined and EIMS have yet to confirm as a rejected lead.

Rejected Duplicate (Cross Data)

 Rows within the import files for each publisher that have matched to Inquiries that already exist in the funnel.

Delivered (Billable)

Number of leads accepted by the client within the Budget agreed with the client.

Input

 Total number of Inquiries (INQ) that exist in the campaign funnel for each publisher.

Delivered (Non Billable)

The amount of Inquiries sent to the client for approval that exceed the total leads ordered for each publisher.

Pending Verification

 The total number of Inputs (INQs) that have not been passed to the client for approval. These leads will be active at the Validate or QA stages.
