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.

30 days is a relatively compact attribution window, so the strongest fit is usually content that reaches readers closer to a decision.
Create a Partnerize affiliate account, join the Hostelworld campaign, then await review. Treat eligibility as a separate question from whether the commercial terms look attractive.
Traffic-source, trademark and geography rules are not fully public in the reviewed material; verify them before using paid promotion or making region-specific claims.
