If you’re anything like me then you are thoroughly addicted to forums. You are constantly joining them sometimes you say for days, sometimes you stay for years (my longest is 2 years as of today). The thing that most forums have in comon is that they don’t pay you to generate content for them. Most are very happy just sit back and roll in the dough. But there are some revenue sharing forums out there that you can both learn a lot from, and get paid to post.
The concept is called revenue sharing whereby you enter your adsense publisher id and then your ads are shown half of the time when someone reads a thread that you’ve started. There are three webmaster forums that I know of that do this

To participate you generally have to have a minimum number of posts and you must of course have an adsense account. Earning don’t normally accumulate, but some of them, DigitalPoint in particular, have such a high CPM that even if your ads aren’t clicked you can still make money.

Bottom Line: If you’re going to post on a forum, you might as well get paid for it even if it is really more of a nice gesture than a way to make a lot of money.
