Abstract:
A method and system for providing quality click pricing is presented. An example system comprises a click monitor configured to monitor clicks originated from a web site of an affiliate, a post click activity monitor to monitor post click indicators of those users that originated any of the monitored clicks, a click value generator, an earnings per click module, and a compensation calculator. The click value generator may be configured to determine a click value for the affiliate, based on post click indicators. The determined click value may be provided to the earnings per click module configured to translate a click value into a per click earnings value for an affiliate. The compensation calculator may be configured to determine compensation of the affiliate based on the click value and a number of clicks originated from the web site of the affiliate during a certain period of time.
