Got a website with 100,000 pageviews a day? Have users who log on and create content? Then you can implement the Adsense API on your website. Your users will then be able to apply for, sign up, and manage their own Adsense accounts through your websites. They make money using Adsense, and you get a cut.

In a nutshell, thats what Google's announcement of a beta program (Isn't everything Google does a beta?) means. The large amount of pageviews mean that the Adsense API is not for everyone - and you need a site where there is an active community who wuld like to avail of the facility. Some group blogs and blogging networks, as well as media houses with large websites and user participation seem to be the ideal target for this.

For example, take a Rediff. By signing up for the Adsense API and implementing it on their websites, Rediff would be able to help their users make money. They could offer it in their Rediff iLand blog service. An Indiatimes would be able to offer it to the users of their o3 blogs. It could turn out to be a big motivation for all the bloggers and those who populate the discussion forums in those websites.

What do the website which does all this with the Adsense API get in return? For every user who signs up, and earns $ 100 with 6 months (180 days) the website will make $ 100. Not bad. Plus, the website would also get 15 % of the revenue that user makes from his pages on the website.

Blogger and blogspot, already owned by Google, is a place where Google has already implemented the Adsense API. If you have a blogspot blog, you already can apply to the Adsense program easily, with a few clicks, make the ads appear on your blog and start earning revenue.

The AdSense API utilizes SOAP and WSDL and supports PHP, .Net, Java, Perl, PHP, Python and XML.

Of course, for users, this would make sense only if there is some way in which they can get decent traffic on the pages they create on someone else's websites. Websites can resdeign themselves so that a larger chunk of their visitors browse through the users' pages.

What could be the bad things? Users could create absolutely horrible pages with copied content and strange designs, try to spam Google, create gibberish pages, use software to create thousands upon thousands of meaningless pages and lower the quality of the website. Google, which already has problems dealing with spam, blackhat SEO and ranking issues could end up in a bigger mess than it is in currently. But then, that's something only time will tell.
