Google advertising is the leading way for advertisers and ad hosts to quickly and conveniently make money on the Internet. Until internal growth may permit other options, MyWikiBiz's preferred ad serving agent is Google.
<adsense> google_ad_client = 'pub-4781341637005814'; google_ad_output = 'textlink'; google_ad_format = 'ref_text'; google_cpa_choice = 'CAAQmdLQgAIaCLUtqvOe9e7gKN2uuIEB'; google_ad_channel = '4557952651'; </adsense>
In Directory & User space
In Directory and User space, users who actually are legally responsible for the topic of their space (the topic is their self or their enterprise, etc.) are allowed to place as many Google AdSense ads within that space as Google allows.
On the other hand, users who have merely "grabbed" a Directory entity that they are not responsible for legally, are advised to build out such Directory space with legitimate, useful content -- otherwise, nobody's going to visit that Directory page or spend any time on it. Failure to create content would only retard the Google advertising opportunity, anyway. In light of fostering quality on MyWikiBiz, the site owner may cap any single user's ability to "grab" undeveloped Directory space at 100 pages. For example, after claiming 100 Directory pages, a user must demonstrate that they have adequately built out at least 50% of them with meaningful, useful content before claiming another 100. Otherwise, the user may be blocked and all of their Directory space is subject to return to the open market. Remember, it is not an appropriate use of the GNU Free Documentation License to copy text from a site like Wikipedia into protected Directory space on MyWikiBiz.
The incentive of the Google AdSense revenue is intended to be a very simple and catchy "hook" to bring in good editors who want to make money doing the thing they love to do. Google advertising revenue is not intended to be an "end game" for users, but rather a pleasant reward for building good content within MyWikiBiz. Of course, all users who have grabbed Directory space and are "squatting" on it need to remember -- they are merely "occupying" those Directory pages until the day the actual owner contacts MyWikiBiz's management. At that moment, a sysop will transfer access privileges to the rightful owner, which will lock out the previous user's access rights.
In Main space
MyWikiBiz management may elect to place Google AdSense ads on some Main space articles, to help us pay for hosting bandwidth and server storage space for all of the great stuff here. To keep Main space looking clean and neat, MyWikiBiz policy is to limit Main space pages to no more than two (2) Google ads per page. Also note that MyWikiBiz will exercize prudence in the proportion of Main space articles that are ever monetized with Google advertising -- we intend that 75% of all Main space articles shall remain free of Google advertising.
General users are not allowed to embed or alter Google advertising on Main space articles.
