How is revenue earned?
Why do I see pageviews recorded in my account but no revenue?
Pageviews will accumulate in your publisher account every time a page of your website that includes Indeed job content loads. No revenue is generated until you refer users to Indeed who then generate affiliate earnings or sponsored clicks.
Back to topWhat payment methods does Indeed offer?
For publishers with a U.S. payee address, Indeed offers paper cheque payments. Alternatively, U.S. based publishers may also provide ACH payment details for electronic transfers. For publishers based outside of the U.S., Indeed defaults to paper cheque payments. Publishers based outside the United States may also request electronic payments by contacting us.
Back to topWhat are sponsored clicks?
Sponsored clicks are clicks on jobs that pay per click displayed on the Publisher website.
Back to topDo I need to fill out tax information even if I live in a country outside of the U.S.?
If you are not a U.S. citizen, U.S. resident alien, U.S. corporation, or a U.S. partnership, you must indicate this by clicking “edit” on the tax section of the “My Account” tab within your Publisher account.
Back to topHow do I generate revenue with the Jobroll?
Jobroll is a simple way to promote Indeed job content on your site. Adding Jobroll to your site is easy: just copy and paste the code Indeed provides in your Publisher account to your website. You'll generate affiliate earnings when you refer users to Indeed.
Back to topWhen will I get paid?
Publishers are paid in the month following each calendar quarter when earnings reach the payment threshold of $100. If the account balance has not reached the payment threshold at the end of the calendar quarter, earnings will roll to subsequent quarters until the payment threshold is reached.
Back to topHow much do you pay per click?
Indeed's advertisers participate in a pay-per-click auction to promote their jobs. The result of Indeed's auction model is that the cost per click varies with every job click.
Back to topWhat countries are supported by Jobroll and the API?
Publishers can request job content within any of the countries where Indeed offers its service. Click here for a full list of countries Indeed supports.
Back to topCan I use the API for multiple websites, and can each site be tracked independently?
Yes, you may use the API on multiple websites. Indeed offers channel codes to allow you to track the performance of each site individually. You can add a channel code to your account on the XML Feed tab within your Publisher account. When you send API requests to Indeed be sure to append that channel name to the request - i.e. &chnl=website1
Back to topWhat is a Publisher ID and where can I find it?
Every Publisher account has a unique Publisher ID. Publisher ID is a required parameter in every API request. The Publisher ID can be found within the XML Feed tab of a Publisher account.
Back to topWhat does pageviews mean?
Pageviews are a count of the number of times Indeed jobs are displayed on a website.
Back to topWhat does eCPM mean?
eCPM is the effective cost per thousand page views. More specifically, this is a way to measure the earnings a publisher generates for every one thousand page views to Indeed jobs.
Back to topWhat does employer affiliate earnings mean?
Employer affiliate earnings is the revenue generated from employer referrals sent to Indeed. Indeed tracks users that publishers send to Indeed. If those users become advertisers, Indeed will share the revenue generated.
Back to topHow is revenue earned?
Revenue is earned when job seekers click on Indeed Sponsored Jobs. Revenue can also be earned when publishers refer Indeed advertisers.
