Upgrade 1.1 notice:
The upgrade from 1.0 to 1.1 is optional; it makes sure ads don't display in private messages. Thanks to venomx for the tip.
Hack Description:
This hack will allow you to offer Google Adsense revenue sharing to your vBulletin board users. Revenue sharing is a great way to reward your board members for their loyalty and adds a feeling of ownership in the board and it's success. Revenue is split between board administrator and thread starters. The percentage of probability is customizable by the administrator.
This hack is fundamentally the same like this hack; however, it adds some customization plus does not use any additional queries!
I wrote this hack a couple of months ago and didn't know there was any interest for it (you certainly don't want to spend money on something that doesn't take much time to code).
My time is *very* limited so I am not good at giving support. I hope the instruction included is self-explanatory. It is easy to expand the hack to your needs.

ive not installed this yet but before i do i just want to ask a question - excuse my ignorance if i have missed something.
from what i have read this is like a banner rotation scheme but for adsense. does this mean each person has to have an adsense account and if so how would i know whos adsense account i am clicking on. because if im clicking on my own it would cause trouble.

good questions yes, each person must have adsense (to put their id in their usercp pannel) and second well I really dont think so... I think it may be possible, but this hack I dont think supports that right now
do the members not run the same risk then and would it not be putting my account at risk as well.
mm... really good point you have there that would definetly be a problem, I never thought of that... however you may ask members no to click on the adsense and only guests to do it
as I said, you have a good point... and if you think about it... let's say you have 150 members who have joined the system.. the probabilities of clicking on your own adsense become less and less as more members join...
thats a shame as this is one of the few mods im interested in.
maybe if there is way to set it so that if the ads are your own they automatically change colour to warn you or if thats against TOS then maybe the persons avatar or name appears near it. hmmm any ideas?
does this just split the share of advertising between the thread starter and the admin, or does it include people posting in the thread as well?
I'm really not sure about that...
