"Instead of posting to make money, shouldn't people post because they feel they can contribute something to the discussion, and see the money as an added bonus?" - absolutely...
Oh yeah I want delete my thread yes its right and I not always created new thread just 1-2 in one month because I think quality is important not quantity... and we must active in forum for share maybe we can start replay post not always for money because if active in forum I sure money wil come nearing
What if (and this is just a WHAT IF) Google isnt looking at individual earnings, and instead is looking at the sudden increase of cl!cks from the revenue-sharing site itself (such as DP).. a site where AS publishers regularly congrigate and talk about such topics as "cl!cking on other's ads", etc.. You dont think G is smart enough to see that there is a giant sudden increase in cl!cks at the site level, instead of the indivual earning's level and see THAT as a red-flag? I dunno.. i'm just sayin.. Call me paranoid, but my account is worth more than the $3-10/month from DP. If it weren't for the recent threads about this sudden increase last week, i would probably not be as worried..
Well it does sound worrying. Assuming I make enough posts to qualify for the DP Revenue Share program, I'd be rather worried too. I would certainly assume that Google's algorithms would flag up sudden increases in earnings, if not now, sometime in the near future - especially considering the outcome of their recent court case.
Tearabite I dont see anything to worry about. Shawn is a very trustyworthy person and would not run this program if he knew it would cause anyone to lose their accounts.
We all know the revenue-sharing program in general is fine, and Shawn is doing nothing wrong.. But Shawn, like ALL Adsense publishers HAS NO CONTROL OF SOME A-HOLE CLICKBOMMING A SITE WITH THE INTENTION OF GETTING MANY MEMBERS OR THE SITE ITSELF BANNED. A sudden increase of clicks and revenue as mentioned last week sure sounds famaliar now, doesnt it? Again, i know that i'm OVER paranoid.. this is just something to think about..
This is why I pulled out of the revenue-sharing thing. For me it was much less than that, perhaps because I'm much more likely to join in with an existing thread than I am to start my own discussions. But if someone were looking for a way to find lots of Adsense publishers in one place, and get them banned, DP is where they'd come. Actually I'm paranoid enough about my account not to put it on any forums. Instead I use non-contextual advertising on them. The thing about forums is that you lose a certain amount of control over what is said in them, and Google uses automatic ways of banning accounts. So if someone posted adult images, or solicited clicks, the bots could be round and have you banned before you have a chance to moderate the post.
Its just as possible to get click bombed on one of your own sites as it is here. If i did get click bombed from DP I would contact Google and state my case. I am confident in Google that they would believe me and not ban me or reverse a ban. For the malicious click bomber it would be impossible to find out exactly who they are click bombing because of the way the ads are served here. Yeah im starting to believe you are paranoid also
True. But on DP you are far more likely to come across threads in which people talk about soliciting clicks on their ads. Even if it's in the context of people saying you shouldn't do this, it's possible that Google are looking for those kinds of words on a page and issuing bans as a result. They certainly have automatic triggers for a ban, this could be one of them.
I doubt a spike in your earnings would matter too much, especially if you're earning like $30 but you have 8000 impressions. Would probably raise a flag if your earnings spiked & your ctr was over 20% I've had a few spikes on DP but I guess if it did trigger an automatic warning you would be able to justify it fairly easily, as I'm sure Google is well aware of the DP forums
first time to know that you can earn from DP,lol, really and i have some posts and replies here already. Anyway i am happy to help ppl here as I like them to help me, That's what DP is about
Ok. Yeah, I think I've made a penny in the last few days just posting like I normally do. Is there a reason why some poeple make so much money as opposed to say, me? Do you need to start the thread for it to count or can you post in someone else's thread to answer a question.
Wait a minute...am I understanding this correctly... I just noticed the "This is an ad revenue sharing forum"... so if I come up with a good thread (not spam of course) then I can earn some moola from adsense? hmm...
