Index = Total number of page views PLUS a 1% bonus for each published submission (max bonus = 200%). Example: A user with 5 published submissions and 6,000 total views has an index of 6,300 (6,000 views + 5% of 6,000), which translates to a Clout Level of 5.
PPM = Payment Per Thousand Page Views ("M" being the Roman numeral for one thousand). It is the rate we will pay you for every thousand (1,000) page views your content generates.
**Calculated by adding the PPM bonus to the current baseline PPM rate of $1.50, which is subject to change. For example, today a user with 50,000 monthly page views and a Clout Level of 8 will receive $80.00 ($1.60 x 50).
. Just curious, I am at a five.
