The article is about Digital Point forums where "Any one of them [visitors] who starts a new forum discussion topic receives half of the advertising revenue paid to the site by Google for ads on the front page of that topic section. (The discussion's creator then splits his share with others who post messages.)"
I know google prohibites asking for people to click their ads...so isn't this an indirect way of asking people to click the ads? I mean, if the posters know that they are going to get a part of what is paid out, I'd say they are going to start clicking ads like mad and getting everyone they know to click. It's basically a win win situation for both parties involved.
Or am I wrong in my assumption?
