What the headline terms mean in practice
The published numbers are only useful when you understand the conversion event, attribution, application friction and promotion constraints behind them.
The referral generally needs to become an eligible purchase. Compare the payout with product price, conversion difficulty, exclusions and reversal rules rather than reading the commission in isolation.
30 days is a relatively compact attribution window, so the strongest fit is usually content that reaches readers closer to a decision.
Moderate — advertiser/program approval required. Treat eligibility as a separate question from whether the commercial terms look attractive.
