To create a new project on CodePlex, use the following page
Create New Project.
Once you fill out the project creation form, your project is created immediately in "Setup" mode. While in setup mode, your project won't be visible to anyone but the project team members. Once you are finished setting up your project, you then "Publish" it
to make it visible to all users.

CodePlex provides project owners with the option to host sponsored ads from
Developer Media on their project pages. All advertising revenues from Developer Media go entirely to the project owner.
How do I display ads?
You will now see advertisements from Developer Media appear on the Home tab, the Downloads tab, the Discussions tab, and the Issue Tracker.
How do I get paid?
You will need to contact Developer Media at
publishermanager@developermedia.com or 1-416-849-8900 with the name of your CodePlex project using your email address associated with your CodePlex username. If you have multiple CodePlex usernames, you
will need to use the username that created your project. You can contact
CodePlex Support if you need any assistance.
