can others finance my adwords account?

[sallam]

I'm new to adwords.
I run a forum, and some members are willing to finance ads to promote the forum through adwords. Is there a way to allow such members to finance my adwords account (which is not created yet, just asking before I do)?

If something goes wrong with that relationship then there is a good chance you'll be banned from adwords for life.

Why not just collect PayPal donations? You can share some Adwords reports with donors, to show them that their donanation is, indeed, going to work to promote the forum.

I don't think there should be a problem with a member of your forum to set up an Ad in their own AdWords account pointing at the URL for the forum. Anyone could do this - you wouldn't be involved. It may get you more traffic but would not provide any finance.

What I suspect is being suggested is the inclusion of AdSense Ads on your forum. This could be done quite easily - but Adsense on forums doesn't pay terribly well I hear.

Any money from Adsense would go into the account of whoever sets up the AdSense code - if this was one of your members rather than yourself, you would need to make arrangements with them to pass the monies to the forum.
