I would appreciate it.

The commission rates depend on volume and the price of a single transaction that is set up by the content provider. There are several options; that is why our calculator leaves the field open. You can see the fee tables in our ToS together with examples of how the fees are calculated.

In general, our commission ranges from 6 to 10 percent.of generated revenues. Some features, such as our “Earn Free Access” option, might carry an extra commission charged by the sponsoring ad agency.

Additionally, I could not find the commission rates stated clearly anywhere. Fees should be the #1 FAQ. Your calculator should also actually use the commission rates instead of requiring the user to guess. Otherwise I love it… LOL

And, we already cooperate with music sites.

Znak it! can monetize any type and format of digital content, including MP3 files, video clips, crossword puzzle, you name it, with full transparency and real time monitoring from your own dashboard… Check it out http://www.znakit.com

Looks like it’s for “web pages”, though I wouldn’t be surprised if Google has some system up its sleeve for you.
Agree with the US thing. Google has a track record of soft-launching many of its services in the world’s biggest market.

I’m asking because I’m part of a network of musicians and filmmakers who make original content. We’re looking to stream/sell/display our work via a variety of platforms and to have all revenues paid digitally to a Holvi.com account on a per project basis. What I’m saying is we as a group of musicians, actors, filmmakers and producers want to collaborate and figure out a transparent way to earn and track revenue. I had thought Google was the way and I do believe it will be, but it’s coming along too slow.

I’m Rhonda Merrick

Why is everything in the US only? The world is not flat and it doesn’t end at the borders of the United States of America. Okay rant over. Still rankled though.

We already offer all the services Google just launched and our publishers (however few at this time) are very happy with the results, especially the “earn free access” option that allows advertisers sponsor user’s access to paid articles or music/video files. This option results in a conversion as high as 19.6% of the monthly uniques.
Best
