Earners Club

When you apply for a Google Adsense account, you also include your website as it is a one of the requirements for approval. Once approved, you can now put Adsense ads on your website and get paid for clicks or impressions on the ads. However, we cannot always predict the future. What if your site needs maintenance and must be closed down temporarily for a few days, weeks or even months? Or in worst case, you will have to shut it down permanently for your own reason? If you’ve got no site running, you will also have zero income in your Adsense account. However, it’s different this time.

You can now earn in Google Adsense even if you don’t have an active website. This idea (or whatever you may call it) is called Adsense Revenue Sharing. I don’t know who started this idea but I knew first this concept at DigitalPoint Forums - that’s how intelligent Shawn is :D.

Details & Process
Adsense Revenue Sharing is a way where you can have a chance to display your Adsense ads on another websites. These websites that allow you to display your Adsense ads are mostly community websites, thus, you contribute contents and get percentage for your ads to show. The process are pretty simple, let’s generalize it this way:

1. You must have already a Google Adsense account before you can participate.
2. Sign-up on websites (listed below) and put your Adsense ID (or even a custom Channel). Please see individual details on the sites you want to join on how to do this.
3. Contribute contents, i.e. create/participate a forum thread, submit articles, submit videos and among others.

Each time your submitted content viewed, you have a chance that your Adsense ads will show on that particular content and get paid if there’s someone that clicks on the ads.

Pros and Cons
With Adsense Revenue Sharing, you don’t need to have an active website to earn (take note that you need to have an active website when you apply for a Google Adsense account). Second advantage of this concept is you don’t have to promote the websites in which you put your Adsense ID to, the owners/administrators will responsible for this one. Last advantage of Adsense Revenue Sharing is that most of the websites that offer this opportunity have high traffic.

However, there are also a couple of disadvantages. First, you must contribute content to the website, no contribution - no earnings. Second, you will not earn 100% of the clicks since you only have a certain percentage to show your ads, therefore, expect a very low earnings. Also, there are some sites that has contribution restrictions, i.e. you need to have at least 100 post before you are eligible to participate the revenue sharing.

You Should Not
There are also a couple of sites that have Adsense Revenue Sharing but thier method makes the concept void. Let’s take for example a free blog hosting site, say call it an ABCDEF Free Blog Hosting. At ABCDEF, they stated that your Adsense will have a chance to display on the blogs that you created. Where’s the logic there? You created and write your own blog (but the thing is you are hosted from them) and then let them have their Adsense ads displayed on your blog, NO WAY!!! Avoid these things if ever you meet something like these. If you can’t afford to buy your own host, then just join Blogger where you have the total control on your Adsense ads.
