For those who already know about the Google adsense program, the Google AdSense API according to Google;
"is ideal for developers whose users create their own content through blogging, web publishing, forum/wiki/community creation, or any other application where substantial web content is generated."
Ordinarily, with your Adsense account working on your own site, you make money from clicks and impressions and the more content you have the more more you are likely to make.
Now what if you have a very popular website that attracts lot of users? I'm talking in terms of 100,000 page views per day! That in itself is enough to skyrocket your Google adsense income but the good thing about this API program is that is allows you as the site owner to share revenue with your community members for the content theyr generate.
Suppose you have a popular blog that is generating such traffic a day and have a couple of bloggers on your workforce, the Google API program allows them to have a share in the income they generate according to the efforst they put in. This is a great way to reward your users who help create useful content for the public.
There are a couple of sites I have seen in this category and a good example is Hubpages.com. I have a hubpages account I integrated with my Google adsense account so I now make more money from adsense using. Hubpages runs such an adsense revenue program that allows adsense account owners to get rewarded for their work. Such setups can help content creators to increase their adsense income within a short time without having to rely on just their own sites. Article writers who have their own websites can rely on the page rank and high traffic powerful sites generate so as to improve their overall online income. One thing you should know is that it's a revenue sharing program between the API publisher and the community user. So a site like Hubpages will take about 50% of your earnings while you take the balance but the good thing is that it can help get you more targeted traffic unlike if you were just publishing on your own site.
Google adsense API program helps people get better rewarded for their efforts while at the same time increases the income of such popular sites just for developing and integrating the right platform.
If you have such a high trafficked website that generates about 100,000 page views per day, perhaps it's time to move up your game and use this API.
