This is a Revenue Sharing forum! We share 75% of our banner income with our users on topic views.
To get your adsense id, look at your ad code:
For example:
google_ad_client = "pub-5900000000000000"; <--- The bolded part is your adsense ID.
google_ad_width = 468;
google_ad_height = 60;
This is how it works:
- You enter your Adsense ID in your profile.
- You post a new topic or make a reply to an existing topic.
- When you have at least 10 posts and you're actively participating, your Adsense ID is used for ads randomly and thus generating you income for the clicks made on the banners when your Adsense ID is used.
Your ad exposure depends on certain factors and a weight is calculated based on these. We do reveal some of the factors taken into account, however, we cannot list all of them as a prudent practice to prevent abuse.
- In "Articles Area", only topic starters are given weight and are entitled to full 75% of the banner share.
- Since "Server Optimization & Help" forum is generally targetted towards users requesting for help, the repliers are given 3 times more weight than topic starters.
- It mostly requires some thinking to start an off-topic topic, even if a meaningless one. So topic starters are given 3 times more weight than repliers in "Off-topic Lounge".
- In all other sections, it's currently equal share for both the topic repliers and starters.
A few points to know:
- You do not get more exposure on topics that contain too many replies. It's very logical! -- Since the ads are shared between the topic starter and the repliers, the more the repliers, the less the exposure.
- Users given more weight get more exposure. For example, in "Off-topic Lounge", the topic starter will account for 3 times more weight than normal users. Suppose there are 4 replies to a topic, ~43% of the 75% share will be offered to the topic starter, while the rest will be shared between the repliers.
