Would you post more if you could make money here?

I've been watching the adsense sharing mod discussed here for a while and I'm considering adding it here and doing a 50/50 split with the users on the forum.
My question is would users actually post more here if there was money to be made with your post?

 

If you would pay direct and not use any 3rd party adsense script => yes

 

Not worth doing on another forum to be honest. Why do that only making money from "my posts" only. I might as well run my own site and take 100% profit from all posts with ads displayed.

And what do you mean by 50% profit exactly anyway? Do you mean ads using my PUB number only get displayed in my thread (and you take 50% profit). I'd expect 100% money from my ads only getting displayed in my posts, which would amount to pittance with AdSense - unless I have something stupid like 1 million or more threads listed here. I'd only be making money from my posts remember, and that's it (not many ads), plus your taking 50% cut off that.

 

I already post a lot here, but I'd love to get paid for it. Jokes aside, I'm sure the active members/contributors could benefit from this...

So yeah, definitely have the adsense sharing.

 

@GTB as per the mod config the ads that will be shown x/x time will be the users or the admins.
So if we did 50/50, then half the times the ads would be the users, then half of the time it would be the admins - mine.

 

Does anyone mind testing this out?
I have ads showing to all guest, members and active members
I have contributors and active members the options to enter their own adsense code
I'm guessing this is in your profile somewhere, I haven't looked yet?

Thanks

 

If I can find my adsense code I'll give it a try.

 

Thanks, update me when you've found it and then I'll go searching for some of your post to see how it's looking.

 

Tried ... got an error:

Error: redirect_uri_mismatch
The redirect URI in the request: http://admin-talk.com/register/google?assoc=1 did not match a registered redirect URI

 

Where did you get that error?

nvm, I see it here
http://admin-talk.com/account/google

okay, one min

 

All it says is: "Associate with Google".

So how does that work not asking for a PUB number?

 

I think it would get a lot more users posting because they can in fact make money through their posts or threads. We all know how well this feature worked out for Digitalpoint.

 

Digital Point removed it. He doesn't run adsense sharing their now.

But anyway... I'm interested in how this works then. Because it's not asking for a PUB number, so how does it integrate your AdSense account here then? Do you not need to have some-kind of "shared revenue account" going with Google first for this site to use it?

 

I'd be the same postwhore, err, meaningful contributor with or without the feature. Nevertheless, it would be of benefit to members to earn for doing nothing constructive.

 

If you have questions about the mod, for now please see this thread @GTB

http://xenforo.com/community/threads/surreyforum-xenadshare.36203/

This is really just a feedback thread to get things working so it's beneficial to everyone.
Once everything is working like I feel they should we'll get an official news thread explaining the new features.


This is the only adsense code ran on the site, it's not going to violate anything as far as google is concerned.

 

You've linked to my profile.

 

You're linking to GTB's profile for whatever reason, not the XenForo mod.

 

fixed

 

I have never seen it be done successfully actually. I have been on forums with it before, but the split ends up being so miniscule, even on rather active sites, that it doesn't seem worth it. I'm not against having it, but I don't have high expectations for it either.

 

This is where you add your code
http://admin-talk.com/account/personal-details
The current option is 468x60
Looks like I'll need to edit the text there to make that clear.

that other link is something with the google sign on, I'll have to check that out later
