What is Revenue Sharing ?
pogads.com allows you to share your ad revenue with your members.
You assign a percentage to give your community between 10% and 90%.
Do you have an example ?
Here's a simple case where ad revenue sharing could work fine.
Joey owns a Video community site. He uses the InVideo Ad Format from pogads.com so
at the end of each videos there is an ad displayed.
Jimmy is a big music fan and has uploaded tons of videos on Joey's site.
Joey can give a percentage of the ad revenues generated on Jimmy's videos
using the pogads.com revenue sharing.
All payments are made by pogads.com.
What is required to benefit from revenue sharing ?
In Order to enable revenue sharing on your site you and your users will need a pogads.com account.
You will need to let us know the user_id of the member you want to share your earnings with.
So you have to be able to collect your users pogads.com user_id and provide it when loading a zone.
You can find your pogads.com user_id in the green navigation bar on every page once
you are logged in.
How do I collect the pogad_id from my users ?
To do so you will need a little server side scripting experience.
The easiest way to do it, would be to add a field in the "my account" section
of your members area where you would collect and store the pogad_id in a database.
After what you can easily know who to share your revenues with on different pages of the site.
How do I tell pogads.com who I want to share with ?
there's 2 way to share your revenues with the users,
the first one, you set the querystring argument pogad_id to the value of the member you
want to share the revenues with.
first way to share revenue with pogad_id in url
for example :
http://www.mywebsite.com/index.html?pogad_id=1023
the code above would share the revenues with pogad user 1023.
the benefit of this way is that it's easy to implement and it allows you to easily share revenue
with people you trade traffic (all they have to do is send the traffic with their code)
You must allow the use of pogad_id in url for each zone you want to enable it.
second way to share revenue with uid in javascript code
the other way, is to add the argument uid in your code. if you use this way, only you can change the
userid of the people that benefits from your revshare. You can programatically change it to different
user if needed.
Here's a sample ad code :
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ads1.pogads.com/show_ad.php?zid=101&sz=200x200"></script>
to add your member's id simply add : &uid=xxxx at the end.
where xxxx is the user id number.
for example :
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ads1.pogads.com/show_ad.php?zid=101&sz=200x200&uid=1023"></script>
Also know that the uid in your javascript code has higher priority then the pogad_id in the url. If both arguments
are passed, the user in the javascript will be credited the share.
