Community blogging and revenue sharing... TOS concern?

    I know this is not an original concept, but I am trying to understand if it acceptable from an adsense TOS point of view.

    Say I had the domain blog.com and the site was a community of bloggers who each had their own subdomain. I'd have an adsense account for blog.com and my ads would be displayed on the users blog pages half the time. The bloggers would provide me with their publisher ID, which would be substituted for mine the other half of the time.

    My question is... when the blogger registers for adsense, could they use my website subdomain (ie. joe.blog.com, mary.blog.com, etc.) to get approved? Then, subsequently, if they got banned, would it affect the blog.com adsense account?

    Thanks for you input.

    i'm not sure about that but why not just create a channel for the blog in a single account, and then split them later? that way you can get paid faster.

    AFAIK if a subdomain gets banned it does not affect the TLD. If this was the case blogger.com would be long gone.
