Google Launches AdSense Referral Program!
Yes, Google finally did it, now they are paying to refer new AdSense publishers. But that’s great news for webmasters: you can now earn $100 per referral for one of the best advertising programs on the web!
I’m going to bite, what is it?
AdSense referrals have been added to your AdSense account and allow you to add additional revenue while giving your users a great tool to monetize their websites. But AdSense Referrals isn’t just for referring people to AdSense (so don’t worry if your visitors aren’t webmasters), it also allows you to earn money for every new Windows Firefox user with Google Toolbar that downloads through your referral link. reference.
Firefox with Google toolbar?
Firefox is a free internet browser. It includes pop-up blocker, privacy and security features, as well as tabbed browsing, allowing you to open new sites and pages within the same browser window. And with the Google Toolbar integrated with Firefox, you also get the added features of spell check, autocomplete, and easy Google searches.
At this point, only publishers in the US can earn by referring people to download Firefox with the Google Toolbar. Google hopes to allow international users to do the same soon.
How much can I do?
While Google can’t guarantee that you’ll earn anything, you can earn $100 for every new AdSense user and up to $1 for every new Firefox user with the Google Toolbar. (Payment depends on your geographic location) However, there is a catch to the AdSense sign-up bonus; you have to wait to get your $100 until the referred user reaches their first payment of $100.
So, if in a month you earn $42 in AdSense revenue, refer 15 new Firefox/Google Toolbar users, refer 5 new AdSense users, but only 2 of your AdSense referrals reach the $100 mark, you will receive a payment of $257 that month. . (Assuming all your Firefox referrals live in the highest paying areas)
Can I trace these references?
AdSense referral tracking is available on the Reports – Overview page, just like regular AdSense ad tracking. AdSense tracks your clicks, signups, conversions, and signups right there for you. But unlike AdSense for content or Search, you don’t get paid per click, you get paid per conversion.
How do I add these links to my sites?
Log in to your account and click on the “References” tab at the top of the page. Click the radio button next to the ad you want to use, then copy the HTML code to the left of that button. Paste it on your page, then upload it and voila! However, you are only allowed to have one ad on your website for each product, so place your ads carefully.
Anything else?
One more thing, make sure you adhere to Google’s AdSense TOS, or your account may be frozen and your referrals and AdSense earnings may be withdrawn. You can find the program policies here: https://www.google.com/adsense/policies – Read them, obey them and start earning money!
