Adsense Revenue Sharing Hack - Very Cool
 

I recently ran across this hack that shares Google Adsense revenue with remembers. It works by allowing users to input their adsense ID and a percentage of the time it displays their ID for the ads in forums and topics which they participate. Very cool. There are basic requirements such as number of posts, etc. If this an existing hack? If not, what would it cost to get it made for me? Specific details are at...

If you have info please post it. If you are interested in developing this for me please PM or email me at sales@travel-intl.com.

Thanks

I might be wrong, but doesn't that violate Google's Terms of Usage for AdSense?
I though an account was tight to only one site ...

I thought the same thing KirbyDE

Who knows. But the sample principle for the hack is what I am after. If Google cops forbid it, when a different textual ad company could be inserted instead. I am still interested in the hack...

> a different textual ad company could be inserted instead
Are ther any except Overture which will only accept very large sites?

I just read over the Adsense terms and didn't find anything that states this would be a violation. If any coders could post their thoughts on what it would take to get this developed, that would be great.

Thanks

This is from the Adsense FAQ:

4. Can I show ads on more than one site?

The HTML code we provide you with is valid for any page in any site on which you want to display Google ads. However, you may only place the AdSense ad code or WebSearch code on sites that comply with our program policies and that you own or are legally authorized to act on behalf of for the purposes of Google AdSense. We also monitor all sites in AdSense to ensure that all pages displaying Google ads comply with our program policies.

So a terms & conditions statement that members are legally authorized to insert their ads on your forums pages would cover that Google's requirement.

I'm not really concerned with their statement. As I said if it doesn't work out with google a different ad company could be substituted.

I'm most interested in hearing from coders interested in developing this hack for me.

Thanks

Are any developers interested in taking this project with me? If you are concerned over the legal implications with Google (shouldn't be an issue) it could be altered to instead allow users to upload their own banners and then they would get ad time based on their threads/posts. Is anyone interested in pursuing a varation of this hack?

I am still interested in hiring a coder to develop this hack for my forum. Instead of using adsense, I would like it to allow users to upload their own 468x60 banners. If anyone is interested, please PM me. I need to get this going ASAP.

Thanks
