Adsense Revenue Sharing? #2

The same question 8 years after

[Moby_Dim]

I'm sorry, if the subject is really stale and clear for those who use WebmasterWorld reqularly, but i dare to repeat the question from [webmasterworld.com...] now: are there any news from G. Adsense politics or the promise " ...if there were invalid clicks they would be against the account, not the domain, so I should be safe..." is OK up to now?

I want to invite people to place their content on the site I own. I guess to recommend 'em to open their own AdSense accounts and supply me with their publisher ids. They'd be able to log in and use CMS i've created to publish their articles on the site. It's easy for me (as the site's admin) to make a simple php function to show the ads on such pages with the author id , suppose, 9 times from 10, and the rest 10% of the pages' visits'd be mine (show ads with my adsense ID).

Is this risky or not? Would you approve this approach or not?

Thank you, guys.

Me? Not in a million years.

[Moby_Dim]

Why?

Wouldn't it be easier to just pay them a 90% revshare and use just your account? I don't think that people will be trusting a stranger with their AdSense accounts.

[netmeg]

I don't do AdSense on UGC. Too risky.

[trebuchet]

I run sites with multiple authors and I wouldn't do it. The more people with their fingers on the buttons, the greater likelihood of something going wrong.

People might be willing to share access to their Adsense account if they were new to the program. But that only raises the question of how they'd get approved in the first place.

I'd think that would tempt people to find other people to click on ads to increase their revenue.

[Moby_Dim]

Well, thank you all for your opinions but at the same time I had a hope to hear something from those who have his own good or bad experience in the issue. Real practice i mean.

>>Wouldn't it be easier to just pay them a 90% revshare and use just your account

I see the endless debates about "the truth i hide from them" I guess. And I need to demonstrate my account details 100 times a day to anybody to show the clicks and $$ from their pages.
And the method we've been discussing now doesn't need any of the above imho. I do not interfere in their account (except I have their ids for ads) nor they interfere in mine. We negotiate only their %% of page views. If somebody suspect me in unfair game let him visit his pages and look through their sources. The more impressions he has the more exact figures of dicing he obtain (stat).

The main question remains the same so: if the author makes invalid clicks, do they affect the account or the domain? Or account AND the domain?

Adsense has admin level and user level accounts. I can't recall what users can do vs. admins but users can certainly view all reports.

Even if you pursue your method, the question still remains about whether all these authors are going to get their Adsense account from. They'd need to go through the approval process first, which means having their own website/content.

As for the issue of account vs. domain banning, it's the account that gets banned first. I know someone who runs Adsense on a domain previously owned by someone banned for click fraud. Plus I'm sure I've seen different Adsense publishers working under the same top level domain.

Would I risk it by inviting other Adsense accounts to share my domain? H*ll no.

hmm... Thank you, trebuchet. Didn't know this :(

Hope this info may change my point of view here.

tnxs again, buddy ;)

A user can post prohibited content on your domain and get your adsense account banned. If that page was running your adsense snippets, then you would get an e-mail warning about the content. If it was running someone else's adsense snippet, then they would get the e-mail but your entire domain would be banned by adsense after repeat violations.

Adsense = Fightclub

You don't talk about it, the less people know the better, the less they know (the ones who know) the better. Multiple people sharing? nope... there are lots of negative possible ugly ends to that, you can't be responsible for what other people post, I wouldn't do it.

[Moby_Dim]

I've learned all your warnings and considerations, friends, and put this may be stupid idea aside, thank you all.

A small remark meanwhile about explorador +'s "you can't be responsible for what other people post" - I did not want to let'em post in free mode but only under my strict control of content and html markup ;)
