How much Weebly deducts for Google AdSense?
Google has advertising partners for AdSense under revenue sharing agreement and they deduct certain portion of AdSense revenue from the publishers account for the service they provide. Weebly was one of such revenue sharing site and was deducting half of the revenue generated from your AdSense account that is 50/50.
Weebly AdSense Revenue Sharing
When a user clicks an ad, Google pays 100% of the money to your account and the nothing is deducted by Weebly. Once you dropped “Google AdSense” element into your site content area, you will be prompted to authorize Weebly to integrate with your AdSense account.
Integrating AdSense
You can either apply for new AdSense account or use your existing AdSense account details. After you enter the site details and submit the form, your application will be sent to Google for review and approval. Note your application will follow the standard AdSense approval process and Google does not have any special process for Weebly users.
