ClickFactor Help
ClickFactor sends job seekers from publishers to your customers' jobs, counts every click, and decides what each click is worth: what the customer is billed and what the publisher is paid. These pages explain how each part works and the rules it follows, in the words the console uses. Where a rule has a name like D-JL-09, that is the ruling it comes from, so you can quote it.
Every status, reason or stop the console shows you links to the paragraph that explains it. Start with a chapter below, or look a word up in the glossary.
Chapters
Clicks and money
What a click is worth, why a click was or was not billed and paid, and when a publisher's figures become final.
Budgets
What a budget counts, how a campaign stops itself before the budget is spent, what each stop on a campaign row means, and what resumes it.
Campaigns
How a campaign picks a customer's jobs and its publishers, what each status means, and how it prices a click.
Customers and their feeds
What each customer status means, how a feed is mapped and imported, and why a job is invalid and what to tell the customer.
Your shop
The people in your shop and what each role may do, signing in, and Activity, the record of changes.
Publishers and their feeds
The feed URL each publisher reads, which jobs it receives, when it is rebuilt, and pausing and archiving a publisher.
When a job goes away
The 24 hours of billed and paid clicks after a job leaves a feed, and the 7/30 rule for where its link still goes.
Stopping redirection in an emergency
What stopping redirection does, who can stop and resume it, and when to use something gentler.
What ClickFactor does not do
What is left to you, and what is not built yet.
