Warning: Blogger.com is sharing your adsense revenue

Hm, something's going on



The revenue sharing thing wasn't there yesterday.

 

Exactly what I thought when I first read the thread title.

 

HAHAHA now fraud people cant use our PUB ID lolllllll

 

How does that stop them? That is only for third party sites that need your PUB# not for sites hoted elswhere.

 

i hope it to be true. I am using blogger for a long time, but never thought it can happen.

 

me misunderstood

 

It would make more sense if blogger clearly said something about this.. would make sense.. I mean free blog hosting? No catch?

More people will probably migrate to wordpress..

 

Google make billions, and us webmasters just stand back and watch them take our hard earned money? I agree with the thread starter.

It is sick that google abuse their adsense system to profit for themselves ALL the time, and i think this is a move which everyone should do.

Maybe that's their way of clearing this up?

To be honest, I don't see any hard proof in this thread that suggests Google is stealing.

 

I agree it shows that blogger is getting 0%, it seems to be a way to show who has access to your number. It even gives you a opt out button.

 

I am not going to read through all the answers and maybe someone has already concluded this. Here is what I think (I don't have a blogger account so I can't verify this):

Google doesn't use two publisher ids. The credits always go to the first publisher id in the ad block. If a user however doesn't enter a pupblisher id (not sure if thats possible with the plugin or whatever you are talking about) then the second id will show up per default (might depend on the implementation which seems somewhat stupid to me).

I use adsense sharing on one of my sites. If noone enters their id I get all the benefits, otherwise its 50/50.
For blogger it will probably be 100% you unless you don't enter the code.

 

you are right andre. I guess your answers hints to another simple logic.

Google recently enabled adsense revenue sharing. They are displaying this info after that. I have checked that option earlier and it never shown me such details.

 

if we remove that Host ID then we will get 100% adsense earnings
or if we remove that ID then whats blogger profit ?

 

I noticed that long back. I never used the widget instead I used the html/script option.

 

Well I did it when I had Google account. I saw similar message n other webmasters and than I turn off Google Adsense widgets from Blogger.com

 

what will work with that Disable Access ?

 

Are you sure this is not for tracking purposes.

 

Blogger was the first site google tested out as a 'host'.

These hosts enable their communities to access adsense from within the community site.

The ad revenue share can be set 0.0% - 50% range (I believe that is the range as I think google do not allow the host to claim more than 50% of the ad revenue *UNLESS* the publisher isn't a member of adsense or if the publisher doesn't enter their adsense id).

The problem I had with this when I tried it out - when blogger managed the adsense for me it left ads as TEXT.

It didn't enable text and image ads - which to me is self defeating when Google have advised publishers from their inception to increase the amount of available advertisers it is best to use both text and image ads. In my case when I took away blogger management of the adsense on my blogs, my CTR almost doubled... so by having blogger choose TEXT only option, Blogger was actually costing me missed opportunity. I am not sure if the message ever got read and I have not checked if blogger has enabled text+image ads yet - but maybe they should and see if they can become an effective manager of adsense on blogs and improve the CTR of ads.

My queries went unanswered or ignored at the blogger help group so I just removed the Adsense block and replaced it with the html/javascript block so that I could have more control over the type of ads appearing.

BTW - the host setup has been done by google and is aimed at sites that have UGC (User generated content). The host API gets integrated with an application and enables users to create and manage their adsense via a community site rather than always having to go back through google.

This has been out for a considerable time now - some point last year, maybe even since May last year when it was in beta.

 

What rumor are you talking about dude?

 

Nice find but better use a Domain (.com) then a Blogger blog
