How much money can I make from my ads?
Your revenue is a combination of advertising we sell directly and TenLinks/Google AdX ads that fill the remaining space. The direct ad revenue varies by our success selling advertising, if the campaign is placed on your site, how long it runs, etc., and is hard to predict. Our larger ad partners can make thousands of dollars a month. The TenLinks/Google AdX revenue is easier to estimate as it is based on the impressions served on your site, your revenue share and your CPM (cost per thousand). CPM varies from site to site, from a high of over $2 to a low of $0.40 in one month. As an example, if your site has has 50,000 page views, 4 ads per page, a CPM of $2 and a revenue share of 85%, you would make $340 a month from TenLinks/Google AdX. See our Revenue Calculator.
How often does TenLinks pay ad revenue?
We pay once a month. We have a minimum payment. If you don’t make the minimum, we let the amount build up until it reaches the minimum.
How does TenLinks pay network partners?
We prefer to use PayPal. If you are in the United States, we can send you a check.
Can I sell advertising myself directly?
Yes.
Do I have to leave TenLinks ad code on my site?
We prefer that our ad code is always on your site. This lets us flow ads with a minimum of time and effort compared to having to get in touch with you to reinstall our ad code each time we have a campaign.
I currently use AdSense. Can I use AdSense code instead of the TenLinks AdX code?
Your AdSense code cannot be used with our AdX code in the same ad space. If you want to display your AdSense ads, they will have to take the place of AdX-served ads.
