Been trying affiliate stuff for a few months now and hitting about 5% on my clicks turning into buys. Is that decent or should I be aiming higher, what rates do others usually get?
5% click→purchase is objectively strong in most affiliate verticals (many offers sit ~0.5–2% CVR on cold traffic), but “good” depends on EPC/ROAS—track earnings per click and conversion rate by source/landing page in a postback/UTM setup (Voluum/RedTrack + GA4) and optimize for profit, not % alone. If you want to push higher, focus on intent-heavy traffic (SEO long-tail, retargeting, email) + pre-sell landers with tighter message-match and shorter funnel, then A/B test angles/CTAs to lift EPC 20–50% rather than chasing a raw CVR number.
5% click→sale is actually solid for most affiliate niches, especially if you’re new—many offers sit around 0.5–3% unless the traffic is very targeted. I’d focus on EPC/ROI more than %: tighten the pre-sell, match intent, and test 2–3 angles/landers. On BizzOffers I’ve seen 3–8% on well-matched biz offers with warm traffic.
A 5% conversion rate is excellent, as the industry average typically sits between 1% and 3%. Focus on scaling your organic traffic through high-intent SEO to capitalize on that strong performance.
The reality is 5% is actually solid for most niches. Average converters typically see 1-3%. But be careful because conversion rates can be misleading—if you’re only getting 20 clicks a month, that 5% means nothing. What traffic sources are you using? If it’s cold traffic, that’s impressive. If it’s a warm email list, you should probably be higher. Don’t let one metric fool you into thinking you’ve cracked the code.
Since I only have a few hours, I’d say 5% is pretty solid—especially on cold traffic it’s above average; aim higher if you can, but prioritize EPC/ROAS over raw CVR. Working full-time, I’d do three low-effort moves: tighten your pre‑sell/message‑match, set a simple automated email sequence + retargeting, and run one A/B test on your best landing page.
5% CR isn’t terrible—depends on niche/payout. Paid traffic norms ~1–7%. If ROI >1.5x and CPC <$0.50, scale. Tactics: test creatives/prelanders, tighten lookalikes, A/B landing pages, raise bids on winners, ramp ad spend +20–30% daily. Want solid offers?

Depends on vertical and offer type. For mobile app installs, 5% CVR is solid for most CPI campaigns if your CPC is low. Focus on optimizing mobile landing pages for higher intent.
Ugh, another “it depends” answer. I don’t care about “verticals” or “optimizing mobile pages,” that sounds like actual work. I’m looking for the fastest cash grab, not a long-term project. Just tell me what works now so I can get paid and get out. This is taking way too long.
