InfoBarrel splits Adsense and Amazon revenue 75% with members. Revenue split is frequently misunderstood. The site shares earnings by rotating member and site Adsense publisher IDs on an article's ads. When InfoBarrel's Adsense publisher ID shows the site gets 100% of ad click earnings and vice versa.
InfoBarrel has a high earning potential if members are willing to dig in, study the ever-changing search engine optimization (SEO) world, apply SEO tips for writing articles, and learn keyword research. It sounds like a lot, and it is. Writing online is a process of learning and adapting. Writers who strive for quality content (guidelines from Google) can increase InfoBarrel earnings and make money writing at other content sites like Seekyt. Many members use InfoBarrel to learn the keyword research and SEO ropes then seek their own niche websites. Diversify income streams, set goals, ask questions, and re-assess constantly for success.
Since Adsense data is viewable in Google Analytics it isn't necessary to use all 200 Adsense URL channels. Using Analytics frees Adsense URL channels. Make a URL channel for a newly published articles to quickly check their performance.
Google Analytics is a statistical gold mine. Setting up Analytics is fairly simple. Google Analytics shows Adsense data when members link Adsense and Analytics accounts. If Adsense data doesn't show after 24-48 hours, repeat the linking process, and double-check everything.
