Iam contemplating of doing another content site with AdSense as the primary revenue generation focus. But this time I won't be going solo. I plan to have a partner, a writer, so I can concentrate on technical development.
The question is:
Does Google allow 2 different publisher codes to reside in one domain? How about 2 different publisher codes on one page?
We live in 2 different countries and have not met face-to-face yet so the revenue-sharing arrangement is a bit unpolished at this point. So if Google allows any of the above, I guess we can proceed with this project. If not, we need to rely on the normally unreliable "trust-based" agreement.
You can have publisher code alternating on the same page but you cannot have two different publisher codes on the page at the same time
They may do so BUT is it allowed by Google and they may not have been caught yet?

Brickwall,
Best to ask that question to Google then you will know for sure because NOBODY here will take the grief if your account gets banned.
Just a word to the wise.

You better hide in the basement and don't answer the door then the black Google Humvee pulls up loaded with AdSense Militia.
what they did to the adsense cheat last week was just scary, i believe!
Iam only toying with the idea in my mind because I don't want to complicate the revenue sharing arrangement. It's the first time I found a really good writer who wants to cooperate on a content project so Iam looking at the most transparent way to share AdSense revenue with her to avoid any kind of future "misunderstanding" about money.
If Google says no, then I guess we have to find some other way.
So, rotating the two publisher IDs on a page view basis is fine, but you can't have an ad unit for each publisher ID appearing on the same page at the same time.
However, you cannot have more than one publisher ID on a page at the same time.
Not in all cases. There can be two publisher ID's on one page IF Google gives permission for it. I am running two pages where one AdSense block contains my publisher ID (because I am the content owner) and a second AdSense block contains the publisher ID of the domain owner. For this specific situation Google made an exception.
But as I said: ask Google first. According to the T&C two publisher ID's one one page are not allowed, unless they approve it.
[...]so Iam looking at the most transparent way to share AdSense revenue with her[...]
There is a specific line (par. 11) in the T&C which prohibits transfer of AdSense payments to third parties. I guess they added this line to prevent banned AdSense users to open a new account under the name of their mother, brother or friend, but it can be interpreted in a broader way. Therefore setting up two AdSense accounts for you and the content writer is the most transparent way, but also the only way allowed by the T&C.
