Google Adsense - NEW $100 Referral Program

[Linda Buquet]

Hot off the Press! You heard it here 1st!

Speculation just started yesterday about a new referral program from Google. Well today it's out and Google is paying $100 for referrals to Adsense (after they make their 1st $100) and $1 for each new user you’ve referred to Firefox plus Google Toolbar that runs Firefox for the first time.

From AdMoolah News and Views - http://www.admoolah.com/blog/

"When you log into your AdSense account you will see a new “Referrals” tab where you can get AdSense and Firefox referral buttons. I find it interesting that they only have buttons, and not plain text links as well.

This is a great new addition to the program. I’m sure the forums and blogs will be buzzing with this news for the next few days."

From Google: https://www.google.com/support/adsen...y?answer=27406

"With our new referrals feature, you can increase your revenue while increasing your users' awareness of useful products and services. By adding a referral button to your site, you can direct users to sign up for AdSense and monetize their web content, or to download Firefox with Google Toolbar and improve their web browsing experience.

While your users learn more, you can earn more -- US $100 for every new AdSense publisher who earns $100 and up to $1 for every new Firefox user."

Part of the conditions:

You shall not promote or facilitate a Referral Event by any means other than displaying a Referral Button on the Site, unless expressly authorized in writing by Google (including by electronic mail).

So far, I am just adding the referral button for the Firefox browser since that applies to all users and is almost a community service.

Also, Google may want to improve the referral buttons for Adsense. Many of them are vague.

I hear that the max that can be earned is 100$ irrelevant of the number of affiliates reffered... Can anyone confirm this ?

There's no way the maximum would be only $100. I do not believe there is a maximum or else Google would have stated that in the Google Adsense Terms & Conditions.
