How much can you earn? The second-price auction, explained

You keep half of the clearing price

When an ad shows in your slot, you earn 50% of the clearing price. The platform keeps the other half. Crucially, that is the clearing price — not the advertiser’s raw bid.

What “second-price” means

AdVibing runs a generalized second-price (GSP) auction. The highest bidder wins the slot but pays only just above the next-highest bid — the minimum needed to win. That keeps pricing fair and stable, and it is the number your 50% is calculated from.

Impressions vs clicks

• Impressions pay a small amount each time the slot clears.
• Clicks pay materially more — a developer choosing to follow a sponsor is worth far more than a view.

What moves your earnings

• How much you use your coding agent (more work-gated moments → more impressions)
• Advertiser demand for your audience (more bidders → higher clearing prices)
• Your click-through, within honest limits

Getting paid
