Scribd has launched with iPaper a new way of monetizing, AdSense integrated in iPaper. You can show contextual ads between the pages of your documents.

They send money through PayPal at the beginning of each month is you earned a total of $20.


After the last spammers attack Scribd canceled support for HTML format and have deleted the links from documents, now after this update they still don’t support HTML but the links are active, and the iPaper can be crawled by spiders.
