Online advertisers like seeing high CPC values in their reports. The higher the CPC, the higher the monthly earned revenue. All those numbers like to variate and seem to be changing in a blink of an eye. Did you ever wonder why?

The idea is very simple. Everything starts with a bid. Our merchants set the bid and the mechanism starts rolling.

Our partners bid on certain offers and by end of the day receive a payment for all the clicks sent. Fine, but why is the rate changing? The merchant can change the bidding anytime. Also, the final CPC value is not the bid value. Here we need to address the quality of traffic. The higher the CTS, the higher the CPC rate. We care about the quality of the traffic discount publishers for not having high enough CTS by lowering the CPC rates. And this can hurt. During long-term partnerships and high traffic volume, everything below $0.30 is not satisfying for us. The easiest way to guarantee yourself higher CPC rates? – Increase the quality!
