AdSense Adds AdWords Referrals for Some Regional Publishers

If you are an English-language publisher, chances are you probably would not have heard that AdSense launched a new AdWords referral program today... because it is not available most countries. But if you are a publisher in one of the lucky few countries, you can now earn $20 when you refer a new AdWords advertiser, once they have spent $100 on advertising within 90 days of signing up.

I wonder why they held back on the US publishers this time? Pay back?

If they were willing to dish out about $2K instead of $20 I may consider moving to one of those countries

Hopefully it's not too far behind in the US. I would have made a couple hundred extra bucks last week alone.

I think it has to do more with them wanting to expand in those markets and getting the advertiser numbers up, something that isn't likely as big of a priority in US/UK/Canada.

I thought the same thing. I'm sure plentyof people sign up in the US/UK/Canada every day...no real need for an affiliate program.

One can hope though

This can be right.

The other cause can maybe be, that they will first test it, before it comes to a big audience.
Testing land Germany

Because the German Adsense Advisor (woman) is asking questions to us in our Adsense Forum about it: (german language)
