Wondering what you all think of this idea... I have a message board that gets about 1500-3000 uniques per day.. depending on the day.. I have about 65 moderators who are not website owners (well some are, but they do ecommerce, not adsense) I have not implemented adsense on the boards section of the site, just on the content. I want to implement it on the boards and do some sort of revenue sharing with just moderators. Do you think it would be a good idea or a bad idea considering most have absolutely no idea what adsense is or how strict it is. The only thing I'm concerned about is them telling their friends on the boards that they get paid if members click.. which would obviously be a big no no. But then they would just get banned right? Would my own adsense account get banned too? or the url? They would have to sign up for their own adsense account obviously, and then the ads would show 50% of the time on the boards they moderate. interested in seeing some feedback. Thanks!
It can't be your url, otherwise these sites wouldn't last a day or so before an abuser came by and tried to take you down.
I think the url would be banned only if it was against the AdSense's ToS like displaying adult materials. So if there was clicks abse it would be the adsense accounts concerned who would receive a warning from Google. Since Google wouldn't specify from which website those fraudulent clicks are coming from, the adsense accoutn holders would not know if it is from your forum or from their own sites. So they cannot act.
