What is an ad revenue sharing website?
Revenue Sharing websites allow registered members of the website to share the revenue made by the website thereby incentivizing interaction in the website. It can be thought of as a marketing method.
There are quite a few revenue sharing websites. DigitalPoint Web Master forum is one such website that shares the adsense revenue with the authors of the thread provided they add their adsense account id in their profile.
Hey! even hubpages is an revenue sharing website! You can add your amazon affiliate ID, ebay affiliate ID, your adsense affiliate ID and get the revenue that your hubs make.
If you refer someone to author at hub pages using their affiliate program, you will get 10% of the page views of the new member, meaning, your advertisment id will be placed in their hub in 10% of the times the page is showed.
How do they work?
Most websites completely control the layout and style of the advertisement. Ad revenue sites work by placing the members' affiliate id or adsense account id in the code that displays the advertisement that marks the ad as being belonging to your account.
So if anyone clicks on the ad, you are the one who will be credited with the click or commission.
To set this up in your website, you should
1. have a user base (duh!)
2. come up with a incentives structure (such as in digitalpoint and here in hub pages). That is, how your members are credited.3. ability to code this dynamic behavior into your website by yourself or with the help of a programmer.Care should be taken
Care should be takenr regarding where and in what context the advertisements are shown.
1. Make sure the member never clicks on his own advertisements2. The content that shows the advertisement should comply with the advertisement publisher guidelines provided by the advertisement or affiliate network.This will avoid the members getting their accounts deleted for fradulent clicks or referrals and you from getting tino trouble with your members and some bad publicity for carelessness on your part.Variants
There are variants to the ad revenue sharing model. One such model is the advertisments credited based on user activity. This is where the user's account gets some "credits. The website also has an ad network that shows advertisments throughout the website or across multiple websites.
Members can advertise in this network as long as they have some credits in their account. This is a good viral marketing strategy used in some intenet marketing forums such as conquer your niche.Revenue sharing model can be a very good strategy to get a lot of visitors to a new website that is targetted at an audience that is aware of advertisement and affiliate networks. Care should be taken in the way in which it is implemented.

Regarding clicking on your own ads, this can be prevented by adding a code which filter out ads based user's id(logged in) from displaying ads as long as he is logged in.
---This will prevent people from being able to make sure that their ads are relevant to their content as well. Im sure there is a better system.

Yes you are right.
The user need to enter only the AdSense ID.
The rest of logic is handled by the program.Here is an adsense revenue sharing website that was made by 3 students just passed out from college
