How are a Kachingler's visits calculated and turned into contributions?

Counting visits
Each day a Kachingler visits a site to which they've become a contributor, the Medallion on that site recognizes the Kachingler and adds that day toward the site's Total Daily Visits.

Totaling visits
If in a 30-day month a Kachingler (let's call him Kachingler Joe) visits his favorite site every day (let's call it Joe's Favorite Site), Kachingle logs a total of 30 Daily Visits to that site from Kachingler Joe.

Distributing contributions
Let's say Joe is a Kachingle contributor to four sites, all listed in his Sites I Visit:

If this month Joe visited...
- Joe's Favorite Site on 30 different days
- Site B on 25 different days
- Site C on 25 different days
- Site D on 20 different days
this adds up to a total of 100 Daily Visits.

That means...
- Joe's Favorite Site will receive 30% of his Pay-In that month
- Site B will receive 25% of his Pay-In
- Site C will receive 25% of his Pay-In
- Site D will receive 20% of his Pay-In
(after transaction costs)

Kachingle counts Daily Visits (rather than, say, pageviews) so that contributions are distributed based on how often a Kachingler visit each site, rather than how much a site is used during each visit.

*Note: Some sites that employ independent writers or feature different kinds of content in differenet sections may use multiple Medallions, allowing Kachinglers to support specific sections or writers on their site.
