Policy

Editorial policy

AdsRPM is built around source-backed calculators and guidance pages. This policy defines how content is authored, reviewed, corrected, and updated.

Key links

Sources

Primary documentation comes first

Official platform help docs, monetization policy pages, and platform-published fee documents are treated as primary sources whenever they exist.

If a platform does not publish usable payout benchmarks for a page type, AdsRPM can still model a planning range, but the page must label that range as an estimate rather than a guaranteed payout rule.

Primary source changes override older benchmarks and internal defaults.
Source links and verification dates should be visible on the public page, not buried in internal notes.

Benchmarks

Modeled assumptions are separated from platform facts

Some calculators need benchmark assumptions to produce usable planning ranges. Those assumptions are reviewed against the available source record set and stored in versioned snapshots.

Modeled baselines are acceptable only when they are clearly framed as assumptions, not as direct promises from the platform.

Benchmarks should specify what they represent: platform rules, manual presets, or normalized scenario assumptions.
When a benchmark changes materially, the affected page family should receive a snapshot update and a public verification refresh.

Review

Authorship and review are explicit

AdsRPM pages are authored by the AdsRPM Editorial Team and reviewed by the AdsRPM Research Desk before launch-facing updates are published.

Guides, calculators, goals, and compare pages expose publication, modification, and source-review signals so ownership does not depend on hidden CMS fields.

Corrections

Corrections should change the page, not just the backlog

If a factual issue affects a live number, formula explanation, or platform-policy statement, the public page should be corrected along with any underlying snapshot or source metadata needed to explain the change.

Small wording changes can ship quickly. Platform-rule changes should be reviewed against the primary source before publication.
