I was wondering if a script like this is available or can be made by a programmer fairly easy? (Existing website with user submitted content exists) Script needed to share Google AdSense Revenue with users who generate content. What I mean by this is, a user creates a "topic" (similar to digitalpoint) and others can write on it as well on the same page, and if someone clicks on an ad, the revenue is split between the "website" and the "topic/content" posters. Please let me know if something like this exists or if it can be done!
This can not be done by splitting the revenue per click, because Google sends revenue for each click to the corresponding adsense account. But you can do something like that by using different adsense id's every time you display an ad. You could use the posting frequency or the postcount of each user as a measure for the probability that their adsense id will be used.
Is there a way I can setup my Google Adsense account so that it is linked to the website and adds a new channel each time someone posts a "topic"?
I think there is an API, but I don't think you can have different channels for every topic. Why would you do this the hard way when there is a much easier way?
Maybe he could set it up (probably via AJAX) so that when the user clicks a Google ad, it registers what page got the click. Then, later on, he could cash the check from all the adds and distribute the money to users accordingly... might that work?
It exists and I am using it for my forum at: banksofvietnam.com You can sign up an account and know how it works. It is a mod from SMF called "Ad Revenue Sharing"
