Example only. Actual CPC depends on advertiser bids and publisher minimums.

Publishers receive 80%. eBid keeps 20%. Simple, transparent economics on every payable click.

Only validated clicks are payable. Suspicious, duplicated or automated traffic is excluded from advertiser charges and publisher earnings.
