What is add Revenue... is it new?

Tip for best answer: M$0.50
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

If you're talking about rev share, or more fully, ad revenue sharing, this is a new way Mahalo has opened for Mahaloians to earn M$s. Since Feb 15, 2010, the asker of each question receives M$1 for each US$3 of ad revenue that Mahalo gets from the Q&A thread. The answerer providing the Best answer receives the same amount. The asker is limited currently to M$100, while the answerer is limited to M$200. These limits are just the current levels and may go up or down.

The rev share is collected as unconfirmed amounts from the 1st of a month until the 14th of that month, which is then confirmed and transferred to Mahaloians' accounts on the 1st of the following month. Rev share collected from the 15th of a month until the end of that month is confirmed and added to the M$ balance on the 15th of the following month.

Overall, until the above-mentioned limits are reached, this provides 25% to the asker, 25% to the provider of the Best Answer, and 50% to Mahalo. If the asker remains anonymous, Mahalo retains his/her share. If no best answer is selected, Mahalo retains the share of the best answer provider. If this occurs on an anonymous question, Mahalo retains all revenue share from the thread.

Your answer doesn't specify how the revshare is split before a BA is selected

That split is the same as when there is no BA.

I think at the moment Mahalo isn't taking any cut until there's been at least M$200 revenue divided between the asker and answerer.

We are kicking off our revenue sharing in Answers with a special promotion (for a limited time only... or maybe not!): we are now paying the first M$200 into a Q&A page to the person asking the question (M$100) and to the person with the best answers (M$100). This means that Mahalo doesn't make any money off these pages until they hit M$201!!!

Ad revenue is the term assigned to the money that corporations and organizations pay out for ad space. A successful article is considered prime ad space for companies, and therefore earns more revenue for the site hosting such an article. Normally, a balance between high quality, easily searched site content and ads dedicated to off-site services are bound to earn satisfactory ad revenue.

Sites with very little in terms of viewership do not gain revenue quickly. At one point, though, web space was valued much higher than it currently is. Famously, the 'million dollar homepage' (attached) and sites like it managed to sell space for ads by pixel. The owners of the site thereby became fairly rich through ad revenue alone.

Services like Google Adsense (attached) also help users connect with revenue-generating ads --- or, alternatively, help businesses attach their ads on growing websites.

A user of Mahalo managing a Page or a How-to article earns revenue based on the viewership of the article, and of course, how many people follow the ads from that page. However, writers here earn either 40% or 50% of the total ad revenue of the page, the other value being distributed to the site itself. Only very popular articles tend to earn revenue value worthy of cashing out. (The minimum cash-out value is M$150)

There are numerous tutorials on this site for becoming a page manager, a How-to writer, a writer for promotional events like Go-team, etc. Good luck

After considering the exchange rate of M$1 = US$0.75, the ad revenue sharing for managed pages is 37.5% for the PM is no VM is assigned, and 30% for the PM and 15% to the VM is there is a VM.

In this case, the asker was referring to the rev share provided on Q&A - she has provided the best answer on the Q&A thread linked in her question, which is doing extremely well, and was curious at this new-found wealth :).
