Is it a good idea to let someone else to run their Adsense ads on your web site?

[Vash]

If I plan to use this as a method of payment or partnership, do you think it is a good idea to let someone I found on the net to run their adsense account ads on my web site?

What are the potential risks of doing it?

They can rip you off for a start and not pay you. I had a proposition from someone to do the same for me because I couldn't open an adsense account at the time. After only speaking to them for a day, they shoved there link in my face without going through the details of how I could keep track of the earnings and impressions on my side. I soon realised it wasn't worth the risk.

If you're having trouble opening an adsense account for any number of reasons, you can always ask a very close friend or family member to use their details for signing up to an account and to receive the cash for them to pass onto you. All they have to provide is a few details to deal with the tax side of things and your ready to go. The worst thing that can happen is you get your account banned, your not asking them to rob a bank with you so their is no risk on their part to help you out. Good luck!!

P.s I can't open an adsense account so my brother is letting me use his details. Happy days!!

The only potential risk that I see is that you cannot have control over the ads which are displayed, but this is not a common thing.

Since a while back many sites run the Adsense ads of someone else without hassle or harm; these are the revenue sharing websites.

Run a search for "revenue share" to see how many websites are doing this, so it's matter that you implement the right script to offer them to run their own ads on your site.

I don't think that I would. Are they going to have control over the placement of the ads too? Too many ads on the top of your site can look like spam to Google. I don't think there would be major problems, except that you wouldn't be able to login to account to see how much the earnings are and therefore you may not get paid for what you should.

No, what I meant was I don't have an Adsense account myself, and I don't plan on getting on, but I have space on certain pages I can allow someone else to put their Adsense ads on in the form of a payment for their service. They keep all they earn, since it's not going to be too much at this moment due to low traffic. I have no intention to get a share from them, nor will let them run their ads on my web site indefinitely. It is just temporary. Such as when I hire a tech admin, I could pay some cash, and would let him to use his Adsense codes on my site to earn some more. This way he gets more $, and he would also have a stake on my site. My site's success would be contribute to his income. It might make him to work harder and take it more seriously. Of course, there would be a set time for how many months he might be able to run his ads on mine.

Just a thought.
If I do this, for example if his adsense somehow gets disabled while running on my site, will my site be affected too?

Let someone else run THEIR third party codes on MY site? That depends

First of all, they are paying me upfront. There won't be any of this "wait for Adsense to pay me" nonsense. That is the ONLY way I'd even allow that remotely. And then there will be negotiation on how and WHERE those ads are placed.

No, like I have mentioned, I am not talking about this scenario.

I do not want them to pay me. I want to allow them to use their codes on my site so they can get paid by me for their service that I outsourced. Plus the fact they will work harder for the success of the site because they will have a stake in it.

I don't get the point of this. I mean sure if they pay more than what Adsense will pay you xD

Its better to have something than nothing!

Or, in other words, Glass is half filled!

If you're not getting anything from your site previously, with clearing some terms, like proportion of visitors and the percentage of income you'll be getting, it is any day an affordable deal!

And as far as Adsense is considered, it is one booming industry in online money making, so you can expect some good return from your site!

I sincerely hope people can actually read the thread before making a post.

I do not wish to get paid by them. It is the other way around. I want to pay them. In a form of partnership, so they will have a stake in the success of the site. They will get some $$ from the adsense ads running on my site and they get to keep all of it as long as I am allowing their ads on my site.
