AdSense Revenue Sharing means simply sharing ad revenue on a specific site between its members, it's allowed by Google and many community websites are doing it, but not all.. Not YouTube anyway!

----
How does this work?
What we have done is setup a system so the ad revenue can be shared between all active members of this site.

This site displays several advertisements at the top of every pages. We use Google AdSense to automatically serve relevant ads for the content on the page. Google pays AdSense publishers on a per click basis as well as per impression.

If a user has an AdSense account, they have the ability to credit their account with the ads served on their own pages as well as on general pages.

If you have any questions about it, please use the contact form.

Why are you doing this?
A community website is nothing without the users. So why not let the users make a little money for contributing to the site.

----
What are the restrictions?

* You must have an AdSense account through Google.

* You must have contributed at least 5 pages within the site to participate (once you reach that level, the ads displayed from that point forward are retroactively applied to all the pages you created).

* For pages you created, your AdSense client ID will be used 80% of the time.

* Your AdSense client ID will be used on a time shared basis between the active members of the site on all other pages of the site.

Is this allowed by Google?
I have gone over the AdSense terms and conditions a few times (both the Overview and the legal version), and I'm not able to find anything to suggest that it's not allowed. But if you know (or believe) otherwise, I would like to hear from you. I have asked AdSense by email and they confirmed that it is allowed as long as the site comply with AdSense's Terms of Service which 12FreeMusic.com does.

I'm worried about you having my AdSense Client ID.
The only info we need for it is info that is publicly available if you look at the source of any page that has your AdSense ads.

If you are still worried about it then the best thing to do is not participate.

----
How long will you be doing this?
While I can't guarantee it will run forever, there are no plans to stop it at any point.

But we do retain the right to halt the program or make adjustments to it as necessary if it's not working out in it's current form for whatever reason.

I look at the HTML source on posts I've made and I never see my AdSense Client ID.
The system will never display your own AdSense Client ID to you (as long as you are logged in).

This is to prevent people from unknowingly violating the Adsense terms and conditions (specifically the part about clicking your own ads).
