I'm planning to release free WordPress themes in my blog. I've decided to make those themes AdSense-ready with my publisher ID in it. The end-user will have the option to put his/her publisher ID in it, and the percent ratio of the appearance of my ads (1 to 100%). Off course, I will include a disclaimer on the download page. I will let them know that my publisher ID is installed by default and that they can add their own through the theme options. Is this a violation of Google Adsense TOS, program policies or guidelines?
If one of your ads displaying at one time, its not a violation. You cant display two publishers ad on one page though. Digital Point too, switching publisher id,s as its sharing.
Just be careful.. you can't control the content of the blogs so if somebody violates adsense terms they might come after you because its your PUB.
Google has some info about revenue sharing here: http://code.google.com/apis/adsense/revenuesharing.html
In fact, I wouldn't try to do this... at least for me, Adsense account is something that I don't want to loose
When you visit a page on the web, is there anyway you know that page is build with your theme so you will not click on your ad without knowing?
