KernelTrap: AdSense Revenue Sharing

Submitted by Jeremy

KernelTrap is now offering AdSense revenue sharing on a trial basis. To participate, you will first need a Google AdSense account (follow the link within if you do not already have an AdSense account). Next, you will need to create a KernelTrap user account and enter your publically viewable google_ad_client ID. Finally, contribute original and relevant content to KernelTrap, and 80% of the profits generated will be automatically credited to your AdSense account. This applies to new forum postings, as well as personal blogs. Inapproriate or otherwise not relevant content will be removed, and the offending user accounts will be blocked. This is a new program that I am doing on a trial basis, if you have any problems with funds not appearing in your AdSense account please send an email to jeremy@kerneltrap.org and I will help track down the problem so that future funds are properly credited to your account. The goal is to encourage submission of useful original content related to kernel development -- if instead this leads to the contribution of useless or offtopic posts, the program will be canceled.

I'll be completely offline for the rest of the month, and thus unable to make updates to KernelTrap [blog]. I am currently displaying the ten most recently updated forum discussions on the front age. Please help out by submitting relevant kernel articles into the appropriate forum. I'm continuing to search for ways to further liven these web pages during stretches that I personally have limited time. Discussion on related ideas is welcome here.


KernelTrap will be ugraded to Drupal 4.7 shortly after it is officially released, at which time we will also be upgrading to a new theme. I'm not looking for a radical redesign, but there are enough issues with the current theme to warrant some improvements. Additionally, the front page will highlight the various forums, mail archives (temporarily disabled), and journals found on KernelTrap. The main front page will include all content, though it will also be possible to get just a Linux frontpage, or just an OpenBSD frontpage, etc.


If you are interested in joining the KernelTrap AdSense revenue sharing program and do not yet have an Adsense account, please click the button below:

If you already have a KernelTrap account, you can join our AdSense revenue program simply by clicking "my account >> edit >> AdSense" then entering your google_adsense_client ID.

Recent forum posts center block is very good idea! Can you share the source code of this block? Thank you.

As is, it's pretty ugly code. But for 4.7 I plan to clean it up along with some other useful blocks and release it. If you need the code as is for 4.6, email me.

For me KernelTrap was Jeremy's blog, which it no more is.

I've been a reader of this site but it's been dead for months now and it seems that will stay.
I don't care about random people's forum posts, if I want that I can go elsewhere; What I liked were Jeremy's articles and interviews.

It's nice that Drupal supports both blogs and forums, but the two target totally different audiences.

Thanks, I'm glad you've enjoyed what you've read here in the past. But don't give up on me too soon, my life is just going through a lot of changes right now and all my hobbies have suffered. I do fully intend to get back to writing regular articles about kernel news... but in the mean time, I'm trying to get creative to keep some activity on the website.

(I especially enjoy doing the interviews, and getting to know all the creative intelligent people involved in writing free / open source operating systems. It's not something I can see totally giving up any time soon. Quite the contrary, I have some plans that should get me much more involved instead.)

Thanks for all the good work,

Thanks for all the good work, for me this has been one of the few places on the net where I could find good, solid information on kernel issues without irrelevant hype or uninformed guessing.

I hope you will find some people who is willing to live up to the excellent history of this site.

Well OK, that's good news :)

Hi Jeremy,

I'd also like to thank you for the very nice interviews and stuff. Take your time sorting out your personal changes -- but after that I'll be very happy to read your pieces again!

Erik.
