Getting Paid

kirbyquerby

In order to prevent fraud and poor quality advertisements, we are having to constantly adjust our algorithm to detect whether or not a visitor counts for earnings. We want to put a stop to constantly updating our algorithm so we are making some changes soon that will significantly increase earnings for everyone!

This is important information for people who provide traffic that has lots of duplicate IPs visiting our short URLs.

1st Visit: 100% of payout rate UNIQUE IP
2nd Visit: 20% of payout rate DUPLICATE IP
3rd Visit: 15% of payout rate DUPLICATE IP
4th Visit: 10% of payout rate DUPLICATE IP
5th+ Visit: 0% of payout rate DUPLICATE IP

We check ALL traffic (from ALL users) in the last 24 hour period

Please Note: We define a "Unique IP" as one that has not been seen by our database yet.

If you pay less every time a duplicate IP visits, and eventually 0%, are advertisers charged by that ratio too, do ads not show up, or are the advertisers charged the same amount of money while the users get paid less?

    Advertisers are charged whatever rate they are paying. If they run a campaign in the US for $6.00 CPM they will pay $6.00 for 1000 views.

    So the advertisers pay the same rate for repeated visits from the same IP address even though it's not unique traffic, and the users don't get paid?

    Advertisers are not paying for it either, usually.

    They can set a frequency cap which will only pay for a single visit from a single IP in a 24 hour time frame (1 per 24 hour, can go up higher if the advertisers wishes).

    This is very standard practice in the online advertising industry - we make substantially less for duplicate IP visitors and advertisers don't typically pay for campaigns with duplicate IP visitors.

    Does this mean that if a duplicate IP visits a lot, then they do not see an advertisement because advertisers are not paying for duplicate IP's, or an advertisement shows up but the advertiser is not charged?

    There are many advertisers and several advertisers that have frequency cap > 5, meaning there will always be an advertisement displayed.
