Adsense revenu sharing.

Hi dp memebers,

I have just finished my revenue sharing script for my website, and well.. basically I wanted a little advice.

Currently it replaces my channel with my revenue sharers channel id.

im not worried about adding channels every time i have a new rev sharer as i am only going to open it up to 10-20 people. But is this method allowed? Or do I have do do something with the publisher id's?

if so, could someone explain what i would have to do to revenue share on my site, (its not a forum) per googles tos etc. I cant seem to find anything about revenue sharing in their conditions and I really dont want to get my account banned as its my main source of income.

thanks for you help . Shaun

 

you need to switch out the users pub-id at the very least...or else they won't see a dime.

switching out their channel ID will allow them to view their stats for your page...IE page impressions/clicks/ctr etc...

 

Here's a little example of what you have to do.

random(you,other_users)

if(you)
{
display your adsense pub-id
}
else if(other_users)
{
display other_users pub-id.
}

you can't have multiple pub-id's on a single page, but with code implementation like hte psuedo code above, it will only display 1...not both.

 

thank you I will change my code at once. I was going to be using custom channels set in my adsense account, and then sending daily screen shots of their stats, and just paying them when they request it through paypal..

I guess this isnt allowed?

 

I guess this would be allowed...but your users would have to put alot of trust in you and it would be alot of work to keep up with that.

just generate a random number and use that number to determine who gets the revenue for the click.

That way you won't have to send them screen shots and they can easily see how they're doing by checking adsense on their own.

 

Actually, they changed that with the February TOS update.

I will only ever be having one pub-id displayed on a page at one time.

Thank you all for your comments, I will be we-writing my code before it goes live.

 

There are two types of adsense revenue sharing

One is like digital point where we have to enter our adsense ID. This is allowed and you can do it.

Second is to share a percentage of money that the owner of site earn with his users. Users do not enter their adsense ID, they just get a share of earnings, like helium.com

This however is not allowed for every person. You can find more info on it here
