RantRave - Get Paid to Post

Sign up, start writing, get paid. It's that simple.

RantRave is first and foremost an open community. We’re proud to provide you with a space to speak your mind and earn a bit of cash. The concept is easy: the more you write, the more money you can make.

No other publishing site offers you 100 percent of your page impressions, which translate into advertising dollars. In comparison, HubPages gives its users a 60 percent share, and Squidoo.com only offers a 50 percent share. RantRave relies on donations and search result advertisements for its revenue. When you post on our site, you will get every single page impression on your posts, guaranteed.

All revenue is paid through Google AdSense. When someone views a post you’ve written, Google will automatically display relevant advertisements alongside your content. The official Google AdSense site has a lot of information and an intuitive sign-up process. Having trouble? Check out our FAQs. As soon as you have an AdSense account, you will be able to quickly create ads that are compatible with our site. Please follow the instructions below.

Four types of AdSense slots are available on each Rant or Rave post. All you need to do is insert your AdSense code and you’ll start to receive 100 percent of the page’s revenue. There are two “Ad Units” (300 pixels by 250 pixels and 160 x 600). There are also two “Link Units” (468 x 15 and 160 x 90).

You need to create your ads to comply with the RantRave site. Please note that any deviation from these instructions will result in your ads displaying incorrectly and potential loss of revenue.

To create your ads, begin by logging into your account.

To create your Ad Units:

Click the "AdSense Setup" tab at the top of the page.
Click the first option, "AdSense for Content."
Select the "Ad Unit" radio button. You may select whichever option you prefer in the drop down list, and then click "Continue".
Now, you are on the "Choose Ad Format and Colors" page.
You are creating ads for two different sized slots. One slot is "300 x 250 Medium Rectangle", and the other is "160 x 600 Wide Skyscraper." These are the only two ad sizes that will be shown correctly on the RantRave website. Select one of these two options under "Format".
The rest of the options on this page are up to you. Select your preferred options and click "Continue".
You are now on the "Choose Ad Channels" page.
This page is up to you to determine and may be left blank. Click "Continue".
You are now on the "Save and Get Ad Code" page. Leave the default name or modify it to suit your preferences. Click "Submit and Get Code".

To create your Link Units:

Click the "AdSense Setup" tab at the top of the page.
Click the first option, "AdSense for Content."
Select the "Link Unit" radio button, then click "Continue."
Now, you are on the "Choose Ad Format and Colors" page.
You are creating ads for two different sized slots. One slot is "468x15 Horizontal," and the other is "160 x 90 Square." These are the only two ad sizes that will be shown correctly on the RantRave website. Select one of these two options under "Format."
The rest of the options on this page are up to you. Select your preferred options and click "Continue."
You are now on the "Choose Ad Channels" page.
This page is up to you to determine and may be left blank. Click "Continue."
You are now on the "Save and Get Ad Code" page. Leave the default name or modify it to suit your preferences. Click "Submit and Get Code."

At this point, you should see a screen that looks like the following:

Copy the entire code block from the "AdSense unit code" textbox. Without making any changes to the code, sign in to RantRave and navigate to your Edit Profile page. Near the bottom of the form, you will see the "Google AdSense Code" textbox. Paste the entire unchanged code block from AdSense into this textbox and click the "Add AdSense to Account" link under the textbox.

If the AdSense code is properly formatted, you will receive a message just above the textbox that states that the ad you created "has been added to your account." Beneath the textbox, you will also see that the Google Ad Slot for your sized ad has been "Verified."

You will need to complete this procedure for all Google AdSense size slots. Once all four ad slots are filled in, you should see the following under the "Google AdSense Code" textbox in your Edit Profile Page.

Finally, click "Submit" to update your profile with the AdSense code. Now, your AdSense will appear on all of your Rants and Raves.
