Can a group of writers have their own adsense account while working under one domain?

Let say you have 5 people who are gardeners...

One specializes in houseplants, one hydroponics, one outdoor vegetables, one farming and one ponds...

If each had their own section could they have their own adsense ID in that section?

www.garden.com/houseplants
www.garden.com/farming
etc....

versus

houseplants.garden.com
farming.garden.com
etc...


www.garden.com/index would be the main site but each section would be controlled by each adsense publisher...

You can have more than one account showing adverts on the same site... or page.
I do on mine.

Accounts owned by the same person or different people?

Working as a group you can grow traffic far faster than working alone. Well as long as each team members content is good and informative.

you can run as much adsense accounts (as long as each account has a different owner) on one site as you want (revenue sharing model) however you are still bind by the 3 ad units per page limit.

Accounts owned by the same person or different people?

Different. (But same house address).

No problem. I have a website I share with two other people. We have a random generator that serves one of our adsense codes 1/3 of the time.

I wouldn't share Adsense on the same site unless you REALLY trust them.

One gets greedy and does something stupid and it could impact all your accounts or get AdSense banned from the site.

Not trying to be a downer, just advising caution is all.

Professionals in general. WOuldn't be people that you would know by screen name only :)

I trust them :). Met my buddy at pubcon last week and mentioned how happy I was that we partnered on the site (I had a great site, he knew how to monetize). He's calculated that we've made back our costs 7X over since we partnered. I'm a happy camper, a bit of money every month.

[tonyolm]

What were you costs associated with the site? Do you mean hosting? or are you taking into consideration the amount of time (labor) you have invested into your site to come up with the 7x multiplier?

[tonyolm]

You know the next big topic for adsense is gonna be?

Belly button lint. With global warming I predict it's gonna get out of control.

Hosting doesn't cost me anything, I have my own server.

I bought the domain years ago for a project that I didn't continue with. Two friends chipped in their 1/3 of the cost of the domain. Really, what other costs are there? We put up some content, added adsense +affiliate, and that trickle of revenue has exceeded 7X the original cost of the domain. It's not like we ever touch the domain :).

And it just rolls along, little bit of revenue each month.

I'd like to do the same thing, times 100 but at that point it would be learning and work, I don't know the adsense/affiliate world well enough. And what I'm doing now is easier and more profitable.

It's just interesting is all. Like the business model where you put up a site and just let the $ roll in. Unfortunately, as I noted, if I want to duplicate it, then it's back to being work.
