Fees & Payouts

Publishers Payout

Publishers receive 50% of their link sales revenue every month. LinkXL™ receives 50% of link sales revenue to cover link placement, link management, collection fees, and other costs related to maintaining LinkXL™.

Advertiser Fees

Publishers are free to set the monthly fee for text link ads on the various pages of their website(s) -this will be the monthly fee advertisers will pay for the text link on the publisher’s site. All text links are sold on a calendar month basis and will be placed when the text link ad is purchased. However, since the first month will always be a partial month, a methodology has been created to handle the first month’s billing for text link ads purchased mid-month in addition to the following months' charges.

Payout Schedule

Publishers will be paid by the 10^th of each month. This payout will be based on revenue collected from all ads placed or renewed on the publisher’s website(s) during the previous month. Payouts are sent via PayPal or mailed check depending on publisher payout preference upon account sign-up.

Here are the first month billing rules:

Text ad purchased – 1^st thru 14^th : Advertiser is charged remainder month only (days left) for the links added to advertisers shopping cart and purchased.

Text ad purchased – 15^th thru 31^st: Charge partial month plus next month total charge (Days left + one full month charge) for the links added to advertisers shopping cart and purchased.

Examples: If an advertiser buys a $15 link on the 5^th of September, they will be charged for 25 days which would cover the 6^th thru the 30^th of September – or $12.50 (50 cents * 25 days)

If an advertiser buys a $25 link on the 18^th of September they will be charged for 13 days left in the current month (13 * 83.333 cents) $10.83 + $25 for the next month, October. In November they would be charged the normal $25 renewal fee.

*** The links and the amount of days purchased will be reinstated to the user at checkout. ***

Subsequent billing months for link renewals:

All link orders placed are set to automatically renew at their anniversary date unless advertisers log into their account and opt to make changes to their link purchases. Advertisers have the option to renew any links purchased at the same monthly price. All text link ad renewals for the upcoming month will be charged on the last day of each month.
