Hello,

Revenue sharing is perfectly legal as Google has given the owner of the website permission to place Google ads there on the site. Whether the webmaster wants to place thier own ads or someone elses, Google doesn't care... they get paid either way!

Rev sharing is available on my forum and when you look at the Google ads (click any thread or forum... cuz their not on the home page) you'll see in the lower right corner in little text....

"Adsense Revenue Sharing Hack - Get It Now!"

There's a link there that will take you to the hack that Steve (I think was his name) placed on my forum. This particular hack was the best by far but all his coding is encrypted AND he will only let you have it if HE places it on your site.

It's a neat hack in that you can set the percentage of sharing AND you can make the sharing unavailable to anyone who posts UNDER a certain amount. SO, it's very plug and play! I like that!

The cost WITH the text/link above is $100. If you don't want that link and referral back to the guy's site then the price is $150.00.

Enjoy!

I never used this and I don't have to complain about quality of the posts. Quality in posting is done with personal example from the staff and admin. When people see we don't post spammy one liners thet understand we mean business.

As for the hack, never used it. Even if I am active in some of the forums that use this trick, I never even thought about plugging in my code. I think my revenue would be that small it;s just not worth it. My humble opinion

Here is the list of it.

There are quite a few forum out there using it. I'd not go so far as to call it a "trick." There's nothing shadowy about this hack! lol

I'd not use the one that costs either... the one I referenced in my previous post. There's a free one on VB.org and I just found out that upgrading can cause you to lose the that costs. Then you have to pay ($25/hour) to have the guy put it back on. Hmm!

you need to have traffic on your forums

Has any one tried using google adsense with phpbb forum. i have small start up forum and would like to use that so that we get quality content.


Also is their anything apart from google adsense. That we could offer to our users. At present we are just offering free hosting but would like users to get paid so we started with $5 contest that didnt work. If you know anything elase do let us know.

It depends on what forum discussion you're running too.
Personally, I don't think adsense revenue sharing will work for non webmaster-related forums.
B'coz mostly only webmasters had adsense account with google.

Yes ... while revenue sharing is, indeed, a cool idea, its implementation is often so limited. A more unique way might be to write a fancy script which automatically PayPal's members.

Thanks for this information. I've heard a little about it, but would like to know more. In addition to this sort of revenue, there are also some reseller programs that can be lucrative, like the one we're using -- with << snip >>

I am still looking for stable mod for phpbb fourm. tried few but they done seem to be stable.

If any one of you have any idea do let me know. Since my forum is webmasters forum it will surly help him as well mine site.
