RockYou Ads serves a mix of CPM (cost per thousand impressions), CPC (cost-per-click), CPI (cost-per-install), and CPV (cost-per-view) ads. Each ad pays out differently depending on what rate the advertiser is paying for impressions, clicks, installs, or views.

RockYou delivers aggressive revenue shares – we value our long term relationships with publishers and developers. Your earnings will vary by application type, ad unit size and impression quality.

Payments are made via check, PayPal or wire transfer. Just select a payment type in your account and complete the fields associated with your selection.

The RockYou publisher payment terms are net thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar month that Ad Units are running on any of Publisher's Pages; however, payments are targeted for distribution by the third week of the month. Checks and PayPal payments are paid when your earnings reach $50 and wire transfers are paid when your earning reach $1,000 a month. If you do not meet the minimum payment threshold, RockYou will hold your earnings until the month you reach it and distribute payment in that month's payment cycle. Monthly earnings must exceed $5 to be considered as accruable revenue.

RockYou has a dedicated sales team working closely with well-known brands and highly-respected agencies to source our advertisements.

We want to provide the best possible user experience for someone using your application. When someone clicks on an ad displayed within your canvas, a new window pops up with the advertiser's site. The game or application stays in the original window so users can easily go back and resume their experience at any time. This ensures that they don't miss anything important occurring in your game or application.

RockYou serves a mix of CPM (cost per thousand impressions), CPC (cost-per-click) and CPI (cost-per-install) ads. Each ad pays out differently depending on what rate the advertiser is paying for impressions, clicks, or installs. You can track your overall performance by your eCPMs, or effective cost per one thousand impressions. eCPM is a great performance indicator - the higher eCPM you get, the more money you earn per ad shown. eCPM is calculated by dividing your earnings by your impressions and multiplying by 1000.

Your eCPM will fluctuate based on your traffic and our ad inventory. Your eCPM will go up if you increase impressions of higher value. Some ways to increase your eCPM include 1) managing ad placement by testing performance, position, color schemes, and number of ads per page, also 2) paying close attention to the geo-location of the impressions.
