Good news everyone! ;-)
After months of development and tests, we are so happy to give you one more way to use Wikidot for: earning money. This is the next (but not last!) step in our process of building "the best wiki hosting ever".
Here is how it works: using our control panel you can put AdSense ads on your wiki pages. AdSense brokerage advertising program belongs to Google and you would be paid by Google when your visitors view/click ads. We are using its special feature called AdSense API that allows developers and hosting providers (such as us) to share revenue with their content creators (like you) and lets us handle most of the configuration issues for you.
If you wonder how we benefit from it, remember that AdSense API is designed as a revenue sharing system. At Wikidot we have set the sharing ratio to 80/20, which means you are getting most of the generated revenue. Additionally we get some bonuses from Google for each new user that joins AdSense program.
Why are we doing this? AdSense revenue sharing perfectly fits our long-term strategy. Instead of charging for services, we concentrate on spreading Wikidot and developing ways to support your creativity. We believe we will all benefit from it. It is worth to say that Wikidot is the one and the only wiki hosting service that shares ads revenue with its users!
We highly encourage you to try AdSense! We think it is worth trying and might surprise you how easy it is to start earning with Wikidot.
Please also note that by using AdSense on your wiki you are supporting our efforts and the Wikidot project itself! Thank you and good luck!
