FAQ (Frequently asked questions)Cost Per Click
CPC stands for Cost Per Click. This is the method of payment for links to Eurocampings.eu, the ACSI Campsite Europe app and in case of participation to CampingCard.com. The name says it all: a charge will only be made when a link to the camp site is actually clicked. You can choose from various categories. Each category has its own number of clicks and its own ‘cost per click’. The more clicks you purchase, the cheaper the clicks are.
The position of a campsite in the ranking depends on which products the campsite has purchased. By ranking, ACSI means the standard order in which campsites are shown on Eurocampings.eu and CampingCard.com. The ranking is applied when visitors do not set any filters and do not search on availability. ACSI uses the following categories:
1. ad revenues in the ACSI campsite media and a internet link and your purchase of the Premium media package. 2. ad revenues in the ACSI campsite media and a internet link and your purchase of the Deluxe media package. 3. ad revenues in the ACSI campsite media and a internet link and your purchase of the Comfort media package. 4. ad revenues in the ACSI campsite media and a internet link. 5. ad revenues in the ACSI campsite media and your purchase of the Premium media package. 6. ad revenues in the ACSI campsite media and your purchase of the Deluxe media package. 7. ad revenues in the ACSI campsite media and your purchase of the Comfort media package. 8. ad revenues in the ACSI campsite media. This refers to turnover per campsite. The internet link is only counted in the ranking if it is active. The campsites are ranked on Eurocampings.eu and CampingCard.com in the above order. In certain circumstances ACSI retains the right to deviate from the above mentioned ranking.
Yes, in principle this is possible, on condition that you also take out an advertisement in at least one of the ACSI guides (in at least the Dutch or German language editions of the European camp site guide). For the Dutch language version the size of the advertisement makes no difference. If you take out an advertisement in the German language version your advertisement must be at least ¼ page in black and white. If you want information about joint usage of a link please contact the ACSI office staff.
All camp sites in the camp site guide are featured on Eurocampings.eu with their own page of camp site information. If a camp site has no link to Eurocampings.eu, interested visitors cannot click directly from this page to the camp site’s own website. The camp site therefore risks losing potential clients.
ACSI advises you to stay in the proposed tariff group. This advice is based on the number of clicks the camp site has received in the previous year(s), assuming that the camp site has had a link in the previous years. Should a camp site decide to opt for a lower amount than advised, there is a high likelihood that the number of clicks will be used up too quickly. In order to keep the link the camp site will need to purchase more links.
If a camp site enters at a higher amount than advised there is a chance that not all clicks will be used. The camp site will receive a refund on the unused clicks at the end of the year.
The click rates in this category are related to an unlimited number of clicks. For every 1000 clicks which exceed the number of clicks originally purchased, you will receive an invoice. If you have used fewer than 1000 clicks, the actual number used will be charged at the end of the year.
The campsite always pays the price for the clicks it has signed up for. If a campsite signs up for the € 439 rate, it pays the price of clicks that belong to that category, and not the price of clicks that belong to the € 329 rate.
In this case the campsite will be credited with 350 x the price of clicks that belong to the € 549 category.
The camp site will receive an e-mail from ACSI when the number of clicks is almost used up. This e-mail will state approximately how many days are remaining before the clicks are completely used. You will then have the option to purchase additional clicks to keep the link active. Should you decide not to purchase extra clicks the camp site’s link will be deactivated as soon as the clicks are completely used up. You will be kept informed by e-mail.
If you decide to buy additional clicks, you can do that by downloading the form 'To buy additional clicks' in ACSI Control Panel. You can fill this in and send it to ACSI (by fax, mail or post). You can also call ACSI. Our sales representatives will like to advise you about the right number of buying additional clicks. Analytics
