Want to make money on RateItAll?
Well, we've just launched a beta version of a rewards program that we are tentatively calling "The RateItAll Economy."
The idea is pretty simple - if you contribute to the RateItAll community - whether it be by writing a review, creating Weblists, creating new listings for existing ratings lists, creating a user profile with a picture, or referring friends, we want you to share in the advertising revenue associated with those contributions.
Google AdSense
The RateItAll Economy leverages an advertising network called Google AdSense. Google AdSense allows Web sites to make money by displaying targeted advertisments from Google's base of advertisers. Google then shares the advertising revenue with the Web site who is displaying the ads.
So what we're doing is taking this AdSense program one step farther. We're going to help every RateItAll member get their own AdSense account, which they can then use to make money off of their contributions to RateItAll.
Making Money on RateItAll
So what can you do to earn money under the RateItAll Economy program? Here's the initial list:
1) Publish a Weblist
Publishing a Weblist entitles you to a 50% share of the Google AdSense advertising that occurs on pages that you create within your Weblist, and on your main Weblist page.
Those RateItAll members who already have published Weblists will be eligible to immediately begin earning money on those lists.
(Note: You are not eligible to earn Google AdSense advertising when someone else submits a new listing to your Weblist) |
Quick Start
If you DON'T have a Google AdSense account and have not yet joined RateItAll:
1) Join RateItAll and check the box on the registration page that says "Sign Me Up for a Google AdSense Account."
2) Check your email account for a Google AdSense account confirmation email from Google and complete the required steps
If you DON'T have a Google AdSense Account but DO have a RateItAll Account:
1) Go to your RateItAll profile page and click "Edit / Delete My Account."
2) Check the box that says "Sign Me Up for a Google AdSense Account" and click "Submit."
3) Check your email account for a Google AdSense account confirmation email from Google and complete the required steps
If you already have a Google AdSense account:
1) Go to your RateItAll profile page and click "Edit / Delete My Account."
2) Copy and paste your Google AdSense Publisher ID (just the number, not the "pub-") into the Google AdSense ID field, and click "Submit."

2) Add a New Listing
On every ratings list on RateItAll, you will find a link that says "Add a New Item to this Topic."
Adding a new listing to any existing RateItAll ratings list (RateItAll, Weblist, Local) entitles you to a 50% share of the Google AdSense advertising that occurs on that page.
New listings must be approved by RateItAll staff or Weblist publishers to qualify, and must include a complete item description.
3) Create a Profile with a Picture
Creating a user profile that includes a picture entitles you to a 100% share of the Google AdSense advertising that occurs on your user profile page.
4) Refer Friends
When you refer friends to join RateItAll using the Refer A Friend tool on your user profile page, you are entitled to a 10% share of the Google AdSense advertising that occurs on all of the qualifying pages that your friend contributes.
For example, when a friend that you referred publishes a Weblist, your friend would earn 50% of the Google AdSense revenue associated with those pages, you would earn 10% of the Google AdSense revenue associated with those pages, and RateItAll would earn the remaining 40%.
How to Get Started
There are two ways to sign up for a Google AdSense account and join the RateItAll Economy program:
1) When you're registering for RateItAll, check the box that says "Sign Up for Google AdSense."
OR, if you already have a RateItAll account
2) Go to your profile page and click on the link that says "Edit/Delete My Account." Then, click the box that says "Sign Up for Google AdSense."
It may take a couple of days for your AdSense account to be approved. Once you are approved, you'll be able to check your stats / earnings from your RateItAll profile page.
