Subject: Regarding "incentives for clicking"
Date: Sat, 23 Jul 2005 19:17:39 -0000
I am considering installing a program onto my message board website that
would give topic makers a percentage of the ad revenue that was gained
from within their threads.
I was wondering if this would be a violation of the incentive ban, as I am
not asking them to click the ads I am merely giving them incentive to make
popular topics that recieve alot of traffic.
My concern is that this could be seen as a way of encouraging the topic
maker from clicking the ads within their topic in order to recieve their
percentage of that revenue. I would of course disallow this but I still
fear that because I am putting my trust into other people that I could be
liable for their abuse of the Adsense program.
First, is a program in which people are encouraged to create topics that
recieve alot of traffic in return for a percentage of my Adsense revenue
gained from that topic allowed?
Second, If that is allowed how would I ensure that such a system does not
become abusive.
Thanks.
