* The percentage of probability is customizable by the administrator

* Number of min. post in order to show the ads is customizable by administrator.

great tool for trying to get your community active. too bad u gotta go to this extent for it though

ya, but its worth it.

the way I look at is this..
I could use the 50$ a month I make from those spots and re-invest it into back-links and such, but now we've got decent PR so I look at it as an investment to the members to get them posting

we'll see how it works out.

I think it helped with the activity, but at the time I didn't have many ad's on the forums and pretty low overall activity. I pulled it because I could see that no one was making much.. I might add it again, now users could actually make 50 cents to a dollar every other day or so.

I might have to look into that myself when I get everything going.Thanks

Are you still running the ad revenue sharing plugin?

Does the above plugin work in 3.7.x?

I've read people complaining it no longer works with 3.7 but some say it does. Its hard to tell unless you try for yourself.

Yes. I have heard the same. I think I'll check it on my test board and see if it works.
