Your AdSense Money and Profit-Sharing Forums

Internet Forums and AdSense Money

As you might well know, there are a lot of discussion forums on the Internet where someone starts a thread and readers respond with postings on the same thread. Forums cover a variety of discussion topics including politics, social and cultural events.

Now, some forums actually pay their subscribers depending on how much they contribute to a discussion or more specifically, depending on the number of times they start a thread (topic) and the popularity of such thread with other readers.

A very good example of such forums is Digital Point Forum.

How The Digital Point Forum Works

Normally, there is an AdSense ad on every topic (thread) that you start and when users click on it, you get paid.

How to Subscribe to The Program

First, you ought to have an active AdSense Google Account, without it there is no way they can direct the money to you. If you've got the AdSense account, you just have to type your AdSense Account Client ID in the box located in your tools section under the edit options.

Kindly note that you must have at least 50 posts to be able to participate in this profit-sharing program. Their revenue sharing program actually started way back in 2004 as an experiment but has stayed on up until now and i guess they wont be pulling it out any time soon.

Special Notes

Kindly note that for any topic that you start, your AdSense Client ID will be used 50% of the time, so generally, you actually get half of what the Forum gets on your topics.

As always, you are not allowed to click on your ads...of course.

My Take

I personally think that this forum is a very good way of earning supplemental cash. However, i highly doubt the ads are clicked that often because as with all other discussion forums, users are always focused on the topic at hand and very rarely care to divert their attention onto the ads.
That said, it may actually prove to be a good way to make money for Internet starters.
