Google AdSense - Another Method
May 14, 2008 Business
My Google AdSense account has slowly been increasing in monetary value. I’m sure many of you have noticed the AdSense stuff on this site, and you have all heard that it’s a good thing to have for making some money. Today, I want to talk about another way to use your AdSense account to make money - by using other people’s resources. No, it’s not some black-hat method. Just keep reading.
I have been noticing several forums (including WiseBread and Digital Point) have a feature known as Ad Revenue Sharing using Google AdSense. The way it works is when you reach a certain number of posts, the admins allow you to ad your AdSense for Content code (which can be found under your Account Settings page in your AdSense account) to a special field in your profile options, and the forum uses this code to generate the ads, which help you earn money when they are clicked. Nice, eh?
A quick search for ‘revenue sharing forum’ should help you find several different forums to join. Be sure to use valid post responses when responding to a thread. You don’t want to spam a forum just to reach your AdSense enabling threshold. Besides, most of the forums I have seen have rules against that.
Now, keep in mind it’s not a rapid influx of cash, however it’s something. With just one forum, I will get the odd click every now and then, which adds a few cents to my AdSense account each time. Remember, any money earned is good money.
If you are a member of a forum with these features, but don’t have an AdSense account, I highly recommend getting one. They are free.
Have fun!

This is a very good tip - I have been making mental notes and have bookmarked forums like DigitalPoint that offer some type of AdSense revenue sharing program. There are also sites such as Helium and Triond that could possibly be placed in the same category because they will pay you a percentage of their advertising revenue (most of which appears to be from AdSense) over time for any pages that contain your published articles. The only major difference between these sites and the forums is that you have to write actual articles and submit them instead of just commenting on posts or threads. I’m not sure which one ends up being better in terms of overall revenue, however.

I like using google adsense, and in fact use it on most of my blogs. (I’m only writing on one right now, but that will probably increase soon, I just need to get back to posting on the others) My big issue with it is that when it comes to the ads.. people have become used to them I think. Especially on make money online blogs. The people who write about making money have an audience that recognizes them and will be less likely to click. Anyway, I enjoyed the post, and I will be back for more soon!
