Rates Rates, and how much of it gets distributed During the first year, we are offering introductory rates:   Customer rate For distribution Customers subscribing between November 2005 and April 2006   30 days subscription $3 $2.30 1 year subscription $30 $27 Customers subscribing between May 2006 and November 2006   30 days subscription $6 $5.30 1 year subscription $60 $54 Customers subscribing after November 2006 (standard rate)   30 days subscription $10 $9 1 year subscription $100 $90 Notes: If a subscription ends and the price has stepped up to the next level, the customer needs to renew his subscription at the new price. Therefore, in the end, all customers are paying the standard rate. What it costs you Publishing pages with Ipaya is free. However, we suggest you have a subscription to Ipaya in order to test your own server and find out what other Ipaya publishers do. Find more information about subscription prices here. Distribution algorithm At the end of each month, we check for each customer how much money he has for distribution and how many unique pages he has visited. We then distribute the money of this customer evenly to all of his visited pages (Calculation base is 0.0000001 cents or smaller). Every site owner then receives the money awarded to the pages that belong to his site.   How we determine the money for distribution   We take the "for distribution" part of the table at the top of this page. When a subscription duration crosses a month boundary, we divide the money evenly to all months the subscription touches. Example: if a subscription goes from 2003-04-02 18:00:00 till 2003-05-02 18:00:00, April gets 28 days and 6 hours, while May gets 1 day and 18 hours (94.17% and 5.83%). If the user has a monthly subscription for $10 ($9 distributed), this means that $8.48 get distributed in April and $0.52 in May. Calculation base is seconds. Unique pages   Decided by URL. If your site has often changing information on the same page, this doesn't has to mean that you will earn only one pagehit. Read more... The payout process During the first 3 days of a new month, we will announce how much you earned last month inside your account in the "provided pages" section. Here is a screenshot how this might look like: During these first 3 days of the new month, the actual payment happens as well. We use a PayPal feature called "mass payments" and subtract a very small fee off every payment to cover the transaction expenses. The fees are: Payout Range Fee Below $50: 2% of the payout Between $50 and $10,000: $1 Above $10,000: Paid out in multiple payments of $10,000. The fee is $1 for every payment of $10,000, plus either 2% or $1 of the remainder, whatever is smaller. Examples: If you see a total payout of $5,427.21 in your account, you get paid $5,426.21 ($1 less). If you see a total payout of $1.50, you get paid $1.47 (3¢ less). A total payout of $10,505 would be paid in two payments of $10'000 and $503 ($2 less). This payout will be sent to PayPal and will appear in the PayPal account you have specified. Typical payouts We expect that typical payouts will be in the range of 0.5 - 2 cents per provided page. To get a better idea, we recommend you to read the revenue calculation examples on the overview page and inside the sections Media Houses and Self Publishers. About May and November 2006 At these two dates, we increase the price because we expect that the number of accessible sites has increased so much that subscribers get more for their money. We expect that half of all subscribers use at least 2 Ipaya sites regularly by May 2006 and at least 3 sites by November 2006. Our definition of "regular usage" is that a subscriber visits at least 20 pages a month on a certain site. If these milestones are not met by these dates, increasing the price would actually be prohibitive to the success of all Ipaya sites, since the platform would become more expensive without being more attractive. Therefore, we will regularly publish the number of sites used by subscribers on this website - and if the number hasn't increased to the expected values by May and November 2006, we will prolong the lower rate until the numbers have increased enough.
