    I was advised that you have to start a thread to get a share of revenue from the adsense adds on this site, is this the case? :confused:

    The guidelines when you sign up only say you have to participate in a thread.

    I cut and paste it directly from the code, plus when I tried to fill all the fields it would not take any zeros.

    pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.


    You have pub-then 20 number fields (x's) and a period.

    the adsense number has pub-plus 16 digits, no period.

    Right... it should be pub- followed by 16 digits. if you get an error then you have extra characters in it.

    You have 20 x's in your example plus a period.

    I tried it at least 10 times and it gave me an error message every time :mad:

    Just did it again and got this message


    You did not enter the correct format for the Google AdSense Channel ID field. Please read the field description for the expected format.

    I have typed it, pasted it, tried 20 digits, add zeros, add zeros and periods to match your example, should I stand on my head while entering it.

    I have a 45 handy, can I just shoot myself, that would put me out of my misery and end all of my problems in this life.

    Maybe that is the solution for me :mad:

    Yeah, but I dno't think that it will get your adsense code to work.

    BTW - Just for the record. It is a f**king waste of everyones time if the only reason someone contributes to a thread it to get a bit of the adsense cash.

    If you have something to say, then say it. If not, then don't. don't just join in a thread so you can get paid for it.

    Also, I don't think I have made anything from the adsense here (although I know that some people have). If you want to make money with adsense, it's probabally a better idea to start a site and run ads on that.

    Sorry, but I just think that if the only reason that you want to contribute to a thread is to get paid for it, then you are wasting everyone's time (Including your own).

    Just my $0.02

    Hehe - Yeah, I guess you are right.

    After all, it does provide a great source of revenue - Once you hit that 1,000,000 mark.

    Only another 999,650 more to go for you then mate ;)

    Anthony, are you blocking cookies? That might be the problem.

    No Smyrl, it can not be my cookies because I accept all of them when I made the adjustment after your suggestion.

    I think it is that Shawn does not like me because I did not wish him a happy birthday :mad:

    I am going on a posting strike here at DP, you all will miss me when I am gone :rolleyes:
