    Well, I can honestly say I didn't borrow the idea from anyone else. So even if someone *did* have the idea first, I still came up with it also on my own. As far as coding it, it's not terribly difficult to do if you are a programmer. :)

    I was discussing this sharing just after you implemented it with another webmaster and his question was how you were going to track it? Google will only allow you to use one account per site I believe.

    And I signed up on the first day, but have never had a report or confirmation of wither my signing up or of any moneys accumualted.

    Am I signed up successfully? Have I made any money? Has anybody made any money yet?

    I'm not tracking it on my end. The impressions, CTR data and revenue go right into your AdSense account. If you are using the channel data, you should be able to see it by reporting for just the channel you setup for the forum (under your AdSense account).

    Ditto SGH's comments above.

    Talk/ideas/thoughts are good ... but power to the person who walks the talk and makes it happen - nice job once again Shawn! ;-)

    I do remember some discussion of this now. I apologize for my faulty memory. I think they call those "senior moments". But I did not setup up a separate channel at the time. Tell me the parameters I would use in setting up this channel.

    Shawn,

    You can ignore the last question. I see what I did now. I used an exist "SEO channel". The problem with that of course is that I can't differentiate anything coming from the forum from revenue generated by the other SEO pages in this channel.

    I'll set up a digital point channel and change my account accordingly.

    How can you change the colors of the ads displayed here in your Adsense account?

    I can't figure it out.

    Also, do you have a 50% chance only for threads you start, or is it for normal replies as well?

    how would 50% chance work for replies if there are more than two replies? ;D

    he determines the colors, not the users. from what I can tell.

    Colors are done in my end. if the thread is viewed by thread (with a t= in the URL) then the 50% chance goes to the thread starter. If it's viewed by post (p= in the URL) then it's 50% to the person who made that specific post.

    So math would prove that you have around a 66% chance of getting your ads shown, since you post even more than I do. ;)

    so if i make this post and you view it then yh will have 0% chance to get impression, right? meaning that 50% with p= goes only to last person who posted in thread? im a bit drunk, maybe i understood everything wrong :rolleyes:

    p= goes to whatever post it is for (not necessarily the last post in the thread, it could be any one within it too).

    Not necessarily. When I look at posts, I usually use the "new" function... where it starts at the first unread post, not the last post.

    I like the idea. I'm surprised I haven't seen more of it. I guess most other sites hope to build a user base without offering any incentive.
