Understanding Estimated
Revenue
Pinkk provides estimated revenue to help creators understand the potential value of their links. These numbers are derived from your traffic data and platform averages — not actual payouts. Think of it as a market-informed snapshot of your link performance.
How It Works
Understanding how Pinkk calculates your estimated revenue
Traffic Detection
When users click your links, Pinkk detects the source platform (like Twitch, TikTok, LinkedIn, or other traffic sources).
Platform-Specific Rates
Each platform has default monetization rates based on industry standards.
Revenue Calculation
Pinkk calculates two values: one based on clicks, one based on engagement. The higher of the two is used as your estimated revenue to give a conservative, yet realistic view.
Custom Rates
Agency OnlyAgencies can override default rates for specific links when tracking sponsored campaigns. This helps ensure negotiated deals are accurately represented.
CPM-Equivalent (Contextual Comparison)
Understanding the contextual comparison metric
For Creator Pro and Agency users, Pinkk also shows a CPM-equivalent:
Creator Pro
"Market CPM equivalent"
Agency
"Benchmark CPM equivalent"
This is a derived comparison metric showing what your traffic would be worth if priced like standard ad campaigns. It helps contextualize your link performance but does not affect the estimated revenue.
Note: CPM values are hidden if traffic is too small to produce reliable data.
