In this model, these are calculated based on the combination of CPC, CPM or CPA relevant for the medium.Total cost:

The sum of setup and media costs.Budget %:

This is number of page or ad views purchased, or names in the case of e-mail.CTR:

The number of visits to the web site.CRO:

Conversion rate to opportunity. An opportunity could be a lead, quote, registration or when an item is added into a shopping basket or the start of the checkout process.nOpportunities:

A lead such as e-mail capture, registration, quote or the start of the shopping basket process.CPO:

First define expected conversion rates to opportunity (lead) and sale for different media (can be set to same value for simplicity).2. Then establish realistic costs for purchasing different media (CPM,CPA,CPC) as appropriate for your market.3. Finally vary the mix of impressions for different media, remembering that there are limits to media that can be purchased (e.g. number of search terms). Vary the impressions to maximise number of sales and minimise CPA while also minimising the riskof purchasing too much of one type of media - a more balanced budget diversifies risk.4. To compare the effectiveness of media look at differences in media for CPS and as % of budget and % of sales.DISCLAIMERThis spreadsheet is provided in good faith for modelling budgets and performance for digital marketing.

Also known as Cost per Acquisition.Ad Network

These are blind networks where ads are not placed on specific sites but to target an audience. Lower CPM than Ad buys, may have CPC options.Ad buys are display ad formats such as banners and skyscrapers with placements bought on specific sites.Paid search (CPC)

Pay Per Click e.g. Google Adwords. Calculated based on CPC in combination with budget total to give the number of visits.Natural search

This delivered through SEO. It is here calculated on a similar basis to Paid search.Affiliates

These are cost per action. They are calculated by working back from the the number of sales based on the cost per sale and investment in this channel.Sponsorship is a fixed amount based on the percentage of budget and estimate of the reach of a period.Email list

Email lists are typically purchased on a cost per thousand basis often as part of an ad buy. Ads in 3rd party enewsletters or co-branded emails are other options in addition to rented lists.Aggregators are comparison sites.

They are calculated in a similar way to affiliates. Some aggregators will also offer CPM or CPC deals which will need to be treated separately.SearchHow to use this spreadsheet1.
