Your full reader list is never shared. The Advertiser receives only readers who choose and confirm the Advertiser's Newsletter.

Which Campaigns you accept

Where the recommendation runs

You choose the send and the position inside it.

How much capacity you take

Available placement capacity is shown up front and reserved as readers confirm.

Qualification

What you are paid for

You earn on qualified subscriptions. Clicks and views on their own never earn.

A qualified subscription is a reader on your list who confirmed the recommendation, passed email verification, was not already subscribed, cleared duplicate and fraud checks, was within the Campaign's available capacity, and was successfully added to the Advertiser's selected ESP destination.

If the full process does not happen, the Advertiser is not charged and the Publisher does not earn for that event.

Not confirmed
The reader opened the reader confirmation page but never confirmed. Views alone are never charged or paid.
Already subscribed
The reader was already on the Advertiser's list. Nothing was added, and neither the Advertiser nor the Publisher is charged or paid.
Verification rejected
The email address did not pass verification, so it was never added. There is no charge and no earning.
Capacity reached
The Campaign had already reached its limit for the period. The reader was not added, so there is no charge and no earning.
Recommendation unavailable
The Campaign was paused, ended, or otherwise closed when the reader arrived. Nothing was added and nothing is owed.
Delivery error
The Advertiser's email platform could not accept the address. The subscriber does not count until delivery succeeds.
Reversed in review
The subscriber counted at first, then financial review reversed it. The charge and the earning are both removed.

Reader experience

The reader always knows what happened.

The same reader confirmation experience is used for every outcome. The reader can see which Newsletter is involved, which masked email address is being used, whether a subscription was created, and what to do next.

The reader sees the Newsletter, masked email address, and a clear confirmation button before anything is added.

No hidden subscription. No misleading success state. The reader can always see whether a subscription was created.
