How does glomex estimate video ad revenue for their customers?
The amount of earnings depends solely on the number of video views that a video generates. Roughly speaking, content owners, publishers and glomex receive about a third of the revenue created – calculated from a rev share base of 95 percent of the actual revenue generated. Five percent are the technical infrastructure costs. Example: A website generates one million views per month. With that amount, the publishers revenue share is 25 percent. We realistically estimate an average CPM of 20 Euros. That makes 20.000 Euros in revenue. Minus 7,5% tech fees, this leaves a rev share base of 18.500 Euros. So the publisher makes 4625 Euros without any effort.
