Hi guys.
We have pushed out a new rates update, for the final time.
This decision was needed for the business to grow the way we want it, and the decision was carefully discussed by myself and other large webmasters.
As you guys all know, we are trying to balance everything out, between fast payments, good rates, and speeds, we have been trying to offer crazy amounts for low-paying countries, paying almost 5x what we make from our own ads., which cannot happen, anybody can agree.
So, our ad networks have helped us gather the best countries that fit into the correct tier placements, while still paying you guys good rates of course. This way we are not overpaying for small countries and we can accelerate our growth along with everything I promised, as we want to stop trying to find a balance and get moving forward with 0 issues.
I understand a lot of you will be upset with this update, and I completely get it.
But please remember we are a business, and we have plans to run long-term not for a couple of years, like some other Hosts out there. But in order for us to do so, we need to cut right to the chase, no more changes each week, no more ups and downs, just straight to the point, which is this update.
Consistency will now be shown with earnings, with fixed prices matching exactly what we advertise, no different.
We are also going to start by displaying 10K views rather than 1K on rates, and we have removed our max payouts per month, you can withdraw as many times as you want now. We want to start providing you guys faster payouts, as I know you all want that, so this will ensure that payouts can be made faster.
Rates per 10K views:
TIER 1:
- Australia
- Germany
- United Kingdom
- United States
$80.00
TIER 2:
- Denmark
- Canada
- Finland
- France
- Sweden
$50.00
TIER 3:
- Netherlands
- Switzerland
- Italy
- Belgium
- Ireland
- New Zealand
- Spain
$30.00
TIER 4:
- Brazil
- Bulgaria
- Czech Republic
- Cyprus
- Greece
- Hong Kong
- India
- Indonesia
- Mexico
- Poland
- Romania
- Russian Federation
- Serbia
- United Arab Emirates
- Japan
$15.00
Other countries not listed will receive a fixed amount of $5.00 per 10K.
With these changes, we have removed a couple of ads from our Ad Modes.
We have removed 2 pop-unders from max-ads mode, and have removed 1 pop-under from all others. And for low ads, there are no floating banners anymore, just 2 pops.
I would like to also state that these rates and countries are what current advertisers are paying, you can see other hosts have similar countries to these. Each Tier pays 7% more than our highest-paying competitor.
Hopefully, you guys can understand the reasoning for this, and not only see the money side of it. Remember, a place to store adult or pirated files is always needed and the worst thing to happen is to have a host get taken down and all your files gone. We want to ensure that never happens. As well as how we handle dmca over others. I just hope you will see there is more to the SH than just extra money, see us as a way to ensure your future files too
Thanks guys,
Best Regards
