Ad Revenue Share requirements.
To qualify for the ad share program, the following are required:
  • he group responsible must be registered on our server. (Just Add Group from home page if not)
  • You must be identifiable that you are a representative of the group through usage of their website or other means. Detailed instructions will be given when applied.
  • You must have a Google Adsense publisher ID.
  • Your group must have a website. This is also required for above point to be valid (You need a website to have google adsense id).
If you meet the above criteria, please PM me and ALL comics registered under your group will display YOUR ad.

Ad programs other than Google Adsense may be available in the future.

Application
To apply for ad share program, please be sure that you have met the requirements first.
Once ready, please PM me with your choice of verification and your publisher ID (with method #3, you don't need to give me your publisher ID).
If method #1, I will give you a keyword to place. You should place it in the said place. I will verify and approve. (see below)
If method #2, I will just copy the publisher ID from your code and apply it. (see below)

Do not send me a list of all the comics you do. This is completely unnecessary.

Should you wish to change your publisher ID at a later point, you must go through the procedure again.

See below for more details.

How to get your adsense publisher ID
1. Just login into google adsense and look in the top right corner. Posted Image
2. Try creating an ad in google adsense. Then look at the code. Inside it, your publisher ID should be inside it.

A publisher ID looks like:
pub-123456789012345
ca-pub-12345678912345
etc...

What are the methods used to validate my credentials?
Method 1 - Validation via HTML creation
Upon application, you will be given a keyword to place in your website. The keyword must be placed in both the address and the content of the file. Do not put anything else inside the file. No html tags, or anything, just the keyword.
Example below:
http://[your website address]/batoto-[your keyword].html
For example: (this is a real address, you can visit it)
http://vatoto.com/batoto-7o8516F152VV7KNLpknl74t5jai5JB.html

Method 2 - Auto validation via Google Adsense
Simply have Google Adsense already active on your website. Then, I'll simply fetch the publisher ID from it and save it. If you wish to have a different publisher ID, this method cannot be used.

Other Notes
  • Validation methods via IRC is not possible! The anonymous nature of IRC makes certain validations impossible. While IRC does support login, there's really no way to know if that user is even supposed to be a representative of the group. It's also far too time consuming.
  • E-mail will NEVER be accepted as a method of verification due to potential e-mail spoofing.
  • You cannot dictate alternate methods of verification. We're trying to verify you. You choosing a different method than above listed completely voids the point. You may however, suggest additional methods. Ability to follow these methods directly is to prove that you have full control.
  • The idea is that if you can put ads on your site with your ads, you can put ads on our site with your ads.
  • We do reserve the right to deny anyone's request for ad share (though we never have yet) and to revoke already approved ad share for any reason. We wish to reserve this right primarily for the safety of the website and its users versus potentially malicious applicants.
How to track your ad performance.

  • The addition may not show immediately.
How much will I earn?

This is an answer we cannot say simply because we cannot predict how many people will read comic XYZ. But the biggest weighing factor usually is the question of: "Do your readers even know that it's available on Batoto?" However, I can quite certainly tell you that you'd earn 10~100x of that you get with download sites such as depositfiles, etc per chapter for regular comics with pages. If you are currently thinking, "10~100x? Whoa! That sounds like a lot of money", you should note that download sites pay very very little ~ near zero for manga (mangas are small sized). So, it's really not a tough competition.

Ads not working? Impressions not making any money?

There are number of reasons to why this may occur.

Correct ID: First, ensure that the publisher ID is correct. sometimes, there may be a country specification to your publisher ID. The best way to check is to create an ad in google adsense and find the publisher ID from the code. It occasionally may differ from other displays.

False clicks: When you click your own ads, google does not charge the advertiser, and therefore, you do not earn any money. If you attempt to falsely generate clicks, they are also invalid whether hosted on our site or any other site. This may also cause you to be banned from google adsense network.

Telling people to click: Telling users to click or view the ads are not allowed by Google. Doing so will result in your account from being banned from google adsense network and all funds are (supposedly) refunded to the advertisers.

Site Authorizations:

Site authorization is an optional feature that allows you to identify only specific sites that you wish to display your ads on. If you are particularly concerned about malicious use of your ad code by others, you may wish to use this feature as a precaution.

Authorizing your sites

  • Sign in to your account.
  • Visit the Account settings tab.
  • In the "Access & authorization" section, next to "Sites authorized to show ads," click edit.
  • Check the box marked Only authorize certain sites to show ads for my account.
  • Enter the URL of the site that you want to authorize (batoto.com) and Save
Your changes should take effect within 48 hours.


What happens to sites I don't authorize?

If a URL displaying your AdSense ad code is not on your list of authorized sites, ads will still show on that URL, and impressions and clicks will be recorded. However, advertisers will not be charged, and you will not receive any earnings for that site.


Things to be mindful of
  • Please be sure to actually read the google's policies. Google is quick to ban and not to reason. If you are banned, all your earnings will be wiped and locked out from applying again. We cannot help you if this happens!!! https://www.google.c...py?answer=48182
  • There are pre and post review of your website by Google. Make sure your site always abides by the policies.
  • Note that the standard of "pornography" for Google (USA) is not the same as Japanese standard. Many tagged as "Borderline H" or "loli" is not acceptable content to have on your website if you wish to have Google Adsense.
