An Internet Protocol (IP) address is a set of numbers that each device has assigned to connect with other device over the Internet network. The IP address allows addressing and delivering the information to the right receiver. Every time a piece of information is sent, a device needs to communicate with other devices in a computer network to be able to deliver the message. Sending information in that context means every kind of activity such as surfing, exchanging emails, or downloading an application. The IP address is used to identify the device to which the message is supposed to be sent and find the best way to deliver it.

Information about a device, operating system, web browser that is being used to access a website.

An event is a specific user statistic recorded for an active Voluum campaign. There are different types of events: an impression (when an ad is viewed by the user), a visit (when the user goes to a landing page), a click (when the user goes to an offer) and a conversion (when the user buys an offer). Note that when direct-linking is used and the user goes directly to an offer, such event is classified as a visit. Voluum's pricing plans include different limits of billed events, that can be tracked without additional charges. Impressions are not billed by Voluum, meaning that they do not deplete your pricing plan's limit. Events that surpass the limit are called overages events and they are charged separately.

Campaign is an element in Voluum that incorporates other elements to create a campaign funnel. Creating a campaign funnel requires adding and configuring different elements, such as: offers, landers, flows, traffic sources or affiliate networks. Some components are optional and not required for running the campaign.

A traffic source is any entity that generates user traffic you can use in your campaign funnel. This includes publishers, ad networks, ad exchanges, Facebook or Google and Demand-Side Platforms.

There are different cost models used to settle accounts with a traffic source. These are Cost-per-mille (CPM), Cost-per-action (CPA), Cost-per-click (CPC), Revshare and an Auto option. 

Cost per click is a model of buying traffic from a traffic source, where you pay for every time a user clicks on an ad. In Voluum, CPC is fixed, meaning that you need to provide a cost value while creating campaign to properly track cost in Voluum. You can view the value you provided in the CPC column in Voluum. Take into consideration that the cost tracked by Voluum when using this cost model might differ from what you pay to your traffic source, if it uses the second price auction bidding model. To check how much you actually pay for a single click, go to the eCPC entry.

Cost per mille (thousand) is a cost model of buying traffic from a traffic source, where you pay for a thousand ad impressions. In Voluum, CPM is fixed, meaning that you need to provide a cost value while creating campaign to properly track cost in Voluum. The CPM does not depend on further user actions, like a click or a conversion.
