Affiliate conversion rate

[sven30]

I'm a little confused about the affiliate conversion rate.

 

I have a client that has sent 10 people to our site using her URL and 1 person has signed up and the conversion % is posted in whmcs admin area under her affiliate account as 0.1%. How is this configured? Shouldn't that be 10%

 

What am I missing? is there another variable involved or am I that stupid with math? The latter may be the answer!! hehe!

The way it works is:

 

sign-ups / visitors = %

e.g.

1 / 10 = 0.1%

 

But the way you would like it is:

 

visitors / sign-ups = %

e.g..

10 / 1 = 10%

 

But sorry signups / visitors is the way it is set-up and as it is encoded it will not change until lots of users request this.

They Simon! Thanks for the response.

 

So if 10 visitors signed up out of 10 visits it would only read 1% conversion? This means you can never surpass 1%? If so, there's no good way to gauge your progress visually via 0%-100% spectrum. Is there a place I can request this to be changed?

Seems like an error to me...

 

1 / 10 = 10% **or** 0.1 .... how can it be 0.1%?? 0.1% would be 0.001!!

 

One visitor out of a total of ten visitors signed up for something, therefore 1 in 10 people have signed up = 10%

 

0.1% or 0.001 would be 1 in 1000 people

Yeah, I just got word from a ticket that they are correcting it in the next release. So, that's good.
