1upAds Publisher Contest - Win an iPad 2!

Mon, 20 Feb 2012 04:31:37 +0000

We\'re excited to announce the launch of our very first publisher contest! There are over $1,100 worth of prizes we\'re waiting to give away, and we want you to be one of the winners.

With a grand prize of an iPad 2 Wi-Fi 64GB (Black) as well as 5 other guranteed prizes, this is one contest you do not want to miss out on.

This is a performance-based contest in which the top 5 earning publishers are awarded prizes. There are no random drawings here!

The competition runs from February 20th, 2012 to March 20th, 2012. The top 5 publishers with the most earned income during that timeframe will be awarded the prizes mentioned further below.

Referral Earnings Count

Any income you generate as a publisher through our referral system counts towards your total in the competition. As a result, you can actually win a prize simply by referring other users to 1upAds!

Check Current Live Standings at Any Time

You can check the current live standings in the contest at any time by logging into your Publisher control panel and clicking on the new Top Publishers link in the navigation bar. The current top 5 publisher user ID numbers are displayed there.

If your user ID number (which is stated on that page in case you don\'t know it) is among those top 5, then you know you\'re doing well! The actual earned amount is hidden for privacy reasons, but you can always contact us if you\'d like to know how far away you are from the current top 5.

More Information

Publishers are still bound to our Terms of Service. Violations of the TOS may result in the ineligibility of a won prize.
Winners may swap their prize for a PayPal or Moneybookers payment of equal value, but must notify us before the prize is sent.
For international publishers (residing outside of North America), in the event that we cannot find a company that ships your prize internationally to your country, 1upAds will compensate by sending a PayPal payment or Moneybookers payment (depending on the prize value) for the value of the prize.
In the extreme unlikely case of a tie (two or more contestants finishing with the exact same amount to the cent value), the contestant with the highest lifetime earned total will be awarded the position, with the other contestant finishing below them by 1 rank.

If you\'re already a pubisher at 1upAds, you\'re good to go - this contest is open to all publishers of 1upAds, old and new. Your chances of winning a prize increase significantly the earlier you enter the competition, so if you haven\'t signed up to 1upAds yet, you better get cracking!

Publisher Payouts Increased!

Thu, 12 Jan 2012 14:41:39 +0000

In an effort to make 2012 an even better year than 2011, we decided that a great way to start was to increase our payouts to publishers.

Effective immediately, 1upAds publishers will now receive 5% more in total revenue share. This brings the revenue share up to 70/30 which is amongst the highest in the industry (in fact, most networks do not even reveal their revenue share numbers).

What does this mean for you? Simple - it means more cash in your pocket.

You do not need to make any changes, everything has already been implemented and the raised payouts are already in place. You simply need to sit back and enjoy.

Stay tuned for more news and improvements coming to 1upAds very soon.
