    Now Firefox Referrals gone International. After some days do you think they are good for your website?

    I'll begin:

    Placed some especial code in some pages: if visitor's browser was IE, showed Firefox Referall, and if not, normal AdSense. The code to do this can be found here:
    http://techpatterns.com/downloads/scripts/browser_detection_php_ar2.txt
    Putting that in a file, and then in your page putting this code:
    <?include('browser_detection.php');
    $a_browser_data = browser_detection('browser');
    if ( $a_browser_data !== 'msie' )
    {
    echo'/*Here html code for non IE browsers*/';
    }
    else// if it is msie, that is
    {
    echo'/*Here code for IE*/';
    }?>
    Code (markup):
    After a day I can say profit was low, good CTR, but bad downloads. Some say even they gained 0.10$ per referral, as for example in South America, as it's said prices were assigned in preferences countries order.

    Atleast more people are switching to from IE to firefox, that makes me happy enough --forget the money, help the cause!

    Try this, this was working for me:

    <!--[if IE]>
    
    <script type="text/javascript"><!--
    google_ad_client = "pub-XXXXXXXXXX";
    google_ad_width = XX;
    google_ad_height = XX;
    google_ad_format = "";
    google_cpa_choice = "";
    //--></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
    </script><![endif]-->

    Well, before some people had a free banner for Firefox, now you can change your banner for a paid banner and maybe earn some little cash.

    What seems to be clear is to not change old AdSense for banners for Firefox Referrals banners

    I had no idea that Firefox was being tied in as a Google application. Have they bought it or is it just an association?. Makes sense of course, they seem to be doing their best to get in on everything Microsoft does.
    I wonder if they'll start doing Open Office referrals. Not so many people know about that package, it's Google endorsement, or it's free price tag. I'm sure you could introduce a lot of people to that app.

    What I fear is Google to adquire Mozilla. Also Google is hiring for firefox development...

    thanks a lot!! It's working fine!
    Taking the risk of being annoying, is it possible to show to IE,Netscape,Opera and not for already Firefox users?

    It's just an association :). The Mozilla Foundation is not-for-profit, so I don't think it can be bought out.
