Would you allow guest writers to have google adsense on your site
-
Hi, i am thinking of building a website where 30% of the writers would be guest bloggers and i was thinking about letting guest bloggers have adsense on the site.
What i was thinking of doing was, allowing the guest blogger to have one google adsense advert on the page of the article but not sure what people think.
The new magazine would be on one topic but i am worried incase the person kept on pressing the google adsense advert to get money in.
The google adsense code would be there code, does anyone know if there is a way from hiding their code so they do not know which one is their google adsense advert, and do people think this is a good idea.
This would only be offered to people who write good quality interest content.
will be interested to hear your thoughts

cheers thanks for this

Sure - not sure how they do it but an easy way would be to generate a random number from 1-100 and then show the code based on what appeared. So if you want the author code to appear 80% of the time, you would do:
$num = random(1-100)
if $num <= 80, show their ad code, else, show yours.
You can scramble the adsense code via a javascript obfuscator.

hi can you explain more about this
You can make it so that their code shows up a certain % of page loads and yours for the remaining.
the reason about hiding the code is to stop people from pressing the ads to gain revenue

There are a number of sites who do things similar to this - search for "adsense revenue sharing" Why would you want to hide the code?
Your best bet is to replace all adsense blocks with their ID on their posts. You can make it so that their code shows up a certain % of page loads and yours for the remaining.
In general, unless the blog is gets a lot of traffic and the writer has many posts, they probably wont make much.

Does Google Dislike Slideshows?
I've noticed a recent drop in organic traffic and a slight dip in rankings. When I looked at who replaced us in the top spots, I noticed text heavy, in depth articles. We produce many articles in the slideshow format. Do you think this is the reason our rankings dropped?

Can you help me with my options on publishing others' news releases on my site?
I wish to add a "News" section to a highly-read, highly ranked blog I have. The News pieces will not be in the same flow as my regular posts. I'm contemplating what the best way to do this is, and would like some advice, please. I see these options: Option 1. Pay textbroker type people to rewrite news releases and post them into the news flow. Pro: indexable content. Con: expense. Option 2: Have a Submit News form on the site for vendors to submit their news stories. I would have to ask them to rewrite their stories to avoid dup content. Pros: Easy for me, no cost. Cons: Will still get dup content I bet, a lot of companies won't take the time to do it, and I will have no control over quality. (I really doubt this option will work). Option 3: Post news releases from companies in their raw format, and mark them as no index (even if I don't noindex, they won't move up the SERPs anyway, so why not just noindex them). Pros: very easy, all the news I want. Cons: not creating any indexable content. Bonus question: If I do Option #3, and I place an adsense ad on the page, will it work the same as if it was an indexed, non-duplicate content page? Your thoughts?

On-Site Blog or Blog Service for Best SEO Results
I had a blog associated with my site, then I had to merge two Google accounts and to make a long story short, my old Blogger page won't transfer to the new account. So, I'm starting fresh. My Question: Would I benefit most from an on-site subdomain blog, adding content to my site on a weekly/monthly basis, or an off-site blog such as Blogger, linking back to pages and resources on my site? Then, any other juicy tips would be great. Honestly, I won't expect a large subscription base. There will be a natural draw for some trade associates, and I'll be linking and promoting them as well. Thanks for any input. I'm new to the community, and SEO, but really impressed with this community.

I have been getting many first page Google results for 3 and 4 word keyword searches.
