- misingnoglic 10y agoWow - it always amazes me when I see that Google has a fully fledged product that I've never heard of.
- tedmiston 10y agoFirst time seeing Contributor. This is interesting but… can you really use it everywhere, or do creators have to opt-in? I don't see pointed how Google sends money to authors.
- cbr 10y agoThe ads you see are generally the result of an auction. When you use Contributor it bids in that auction for you, and typically wins it for a small fraction of a cent. Publishers generally don't have to opt in: if you're a publisher advertising with AdSense, and a visitor shows up who uses Contributor, they'll see "thank you for being a Contributor!" and you get a micropayment from them into your AdSense account. (Disclaimer: I work for Google, on things completely unrelated to ads.)
