Proposal: Add Contribution Metrics to Affiliate Reporting

The author argues that affiliate marketing is disadvantaged by strict deterministic (last-click) attribution compared with other channels that claim inferred influence. They propose that affiliate reporting should regularly include two numbers: deterministic tracking (clicks, coupons) and a separate contribution or influence metric (AI inference, other uncredited touchpoints). The article cites next-generation tracking technologies (examples: Partnerize, impact.com) as enablers, and notes historical call-tracking proposals (RingRevenue, now Invoca) that revealed uncredited conversions. Publishing contribution numbers to affiliates could strengthen their negotiating position and put affiliate channels on more equal footing with channels that rely on inferred attribution.

• The author proposes affiliate reports should include two numbers: deterministic tracking (clicks, coupons) and a contribution/influence number (AI inference, other uncredited touch points).
• Partnerize and impact.com are cited as providers of next-generation tracking technologies that can support the proposed reporting approach.
• Affiliate marketing commonly relies on deterministic last-click attribution, while many walled gardens use statistical models to infer influence.
