I'm planing to hire some writers, in fact I already did. I want to share Adsense revenue with them but don't know how to do it. My first idea was that on every post they publish - there will be custom fields where will be their Adsense ads. But the problem is that they are writers but they don't own any site, so they don't have Adsense account. Is there a way for them to get one? Second question is, how is Adsense revenue share done on sites? Just in case, I'm talking about Wordpress if it's important.
Well, first of all, you can put up ads from different accounts on a single site and this wud help you categorize the earnings. But first, you need to create websites for those writers and get their adsense account approved.
I wonder if you set up a system where each writer gets a something.yoursite.com subdomain and you set up an easy system that lets them create a personal website / biography on a subdomain on your site if Adsense would approve each subdomain as a separate website? Does Adsense say you need a TLD for your site, or just a site?
Yeah, interesting question maybe someone knows? thanks for response invalidid87, BMR777 ! One writer has a blog on Blogger for 2 years now, but only like 10 posts. What do you think, can it be approved?
10 posts? Kind of doubt it. There are many plugins for both Wordpress (what you;re using) and Wordpress Multiuser (what BMR77 is sort of suggesting up there) that allow you to share adsense. Googleing for them will probably get you started: http://www.google.com/search?q=wordpress+share+adsense+plugins Also wpmu: http://mu.wordpress.org Hope this helps, -drmike
Nice, didn't knew this exists, wordpress really has it all Will check it more carefully to see how exactly revenue is shared when someone clicks ... Thought about Wordpress MU but it's to complicated to manage with certain plugins and themes. Also, I already have installed everything, can't change it now. Can I ? thanks for the contribution ...
Sounds like a bit of a job that fella. I'd just pay them per article a couple of dollars, or allow them to add links instead (if you are an authority figure in your niche).
It's sorta news site, 20-30 posts a day. I want them to grab to publish posts first, I need those " news " as quickly as they come, to be among firsts. And I can't 'grow' if I don't publish more.
I'm also a fan of the Gunners. Are you from the UK as well? I run a news/trends site myself and the problem I have anyway is that Google Hot Trends is targeted at my Stateside buddies. I believe if they setup a separate one for the UK we'd be golden. What a good idea to do is to check out the online news sites - BBC News and The Daily Mirror seem to be good as they usually update quite quickly allowing you to grab fresh stories before they stretch out to the masses. You're on the right track anyway, it's very easy to rank for breaking news (if you get there fast anyway)!
are u gonna give them all the adsense earnings or are you gonna share it with them 50/50? and how many writters are you gonna have?
No, I'm from Croatia, but I'm having US site, targeting US and Canadian traffic. Been a gooner for 11 years now, since I was 9 I have other sources, don't use trends much, it's a news site inside a niche. Yeah, right They will have 2 Adsense ads on every post they make. One above title ( 468x60) and one on top of right sidebar ( 300x250 ). Mine will still be at the bottom of page ( 300x250), plus Infolinks, plus premium ads we have with some advertising companies. Question I have some sites on auto run which can get accepted on Adsense, never had my ads on that site. Can that writer aply with that site?
ok so the only way to do it is to a) create seperate channels for each of the writers - this however will assume that the writers will trust you to remit the correct amount. It might also be breaking some adsense rules as part of the TOS is for you not disclose information. b) have them sign in and provide you with the adsense code. This is the preferred method. gl
