What happens to ads that are shown regularly but occasionally?

Profitability-Indictor (PI)

Can you suggest some guidelines for “profitable ads”?

No software can guarantee you if an ad is 100% successful. However, PPC Bully can certainly help you make a well informed guess about on the profitability of various ads. You must keep in mind that some ads are placed only to draw attention and enhance the company profile and NOT to make money. So, this implies that if an affiliate ad is showing for a long period of time at a high average position, then most likely it is a successful ad. Also, chances of success are higher if an affiliate is only sending traffic directly to an advertiser without landing page.

How the PI is being calculated?

Ad PI = (Number of Days Seen * Percentage Seen) / Number of Days since Last Seen

Example:

Ad “Birthday Flowers” was seen 36 days out of 54. The Ad was last seen 2 days ago.

  • Number of Days Seen: 36 days
  • Percentage Seen: 36/54 = 66.6%
  • Number of Days since Last Seen: 2 days
  • P-Index = (36 * 66.6%) / 2 = 12

Profitable Ad is an ad whose PI is at least 21. You can change this default threshold (21) in the Account page.
