Update From Bukisa (Dec 10) - Bukisa is adopting Google Adsense Payment

The following is the update I have got from Bukisa. It does seems that you will not be able to earn from your Bukisa referrals anymore if your revenue is based on Google Adsense API.

My interpretation on the advisory by Bukisa is that if you do not update your Adsense Publisher ID in next 30 days, you will not be able to benefit from the programme as Bukisa will not be paying you directly for the visits to your articles once Adsense API fully kicks in.

The Bukisa team is working hard to make Bukisa an even better place to be for our valued community members, including you. In 30 days, we will completely overhaul the current Bukisa Index system, replacing it entirely with the Google AdSense API. This means that you will use your own Google AdSense code to earn money from the advertisements placed within your content.

Here's what you need to know about the transition to Google AdSense:

* You have 30 days to update your AdSense account in your settings (you can do that here). Those who do not add their Google AdSense account during the next 30 days will continue to earn according to the Bukisa Index of 3.22, but will not earn anything from their content following the finalization of the transition. (After Jan 13th 2011)
* Users that don't have a Google AdSense account will be able to sign-up for one via our new system.
* At the end of 30 days ("transition period"), all accumulated earnings in your accounts will be paid out entirely, so long as it meets the minimum payout amount of $0.50 (PayPal mimimum transfer amount)
* We are making this transition so that you can manage your own AdSense and the earnings from it, taking more of the content publishing reins in your hands.
* The earnings you receive from your content on Bukisa will have no effect on the earnings of content elsewhere associated with your Google AdSense account.
* If you have any further questions about the new integration of your own Google AdSense code on Bukisa, please see our F.A.Q. page.
* The Bukisa Network referral system will be discontinued during this transition, as Google AdSense's revenue share program does not support this.

Bukisa has another new addition and it's one we know you'll be as excited about as we are. New 'How To' guides will now be accepted for submission. They're not just your average How To guides, but instead will include rich content from your favorite image and video websites to enhance your content.

All the best and keep up the good work,
