I’ve been establishing a lot of multi authored websites which are all built in WordPress, one thing that I really struggled is the question of whether Google Adsense could be shared or not. Luckily I found the plugin called Author Advertising Plugin, it allows to different users to share Google Adsense Revenues. But the thing is it doesn’t seem to work…

… When I started testing the website, I couldn’t seem to make other author’s Google adsense ads come out. Then I realized it is because with the new Google Adsense Codes just changing the publisher ID doesn’t work, and you’d need the old Google Adsense codes to make it work. This is because of the google_ad_slot, which is unique to the creator of the ad and won’t work with other Publishers.

Now before you do what I tell you, I’m not really sure whether or not this is against Google Adsense’s TOS (so do it at your own risk). What you need to do is to find the old Google Adsense code and to do that you should visit this website OldAdsense Code. You then setup everything again, choose sizes, color style etc. just like what you do with your ads now. The difference is that it generates the old Google Adsense code which allows you to change the publisher ID for each author. Now you can test it out and put another publisher ID and you’ll still find that it works.

I was finally able to make the Author Advertising plugin work, so whoever is the author will get the credits for the Google Adsense Ads in the website. This way there will be no need to do a more complicated PHP code, it would just be a simple rotate of publisher ID that retains all the styles everytime.
