    i saw ws for funny videos that you can not view any video with ie so you must use ff and he puts ff refferals is that legal ? i feel like in indirect way he force ppl to use his refferals , if this is legal i think he makes good money.

    i dont think that's against TOS, but if he draws any "unnatural attention" to the referral button/link, that would be against the TOS..

    "Unnatural attention" could be open to interrupritation..

    i would imagine it's still very difficult to make money with referal buttons even when someone does sign up. firstly, they have to make $100 in the first 180 days of their new account for you to qualify to be oaid for the referal. highly unlikely, imo

    If you've already earned $100 with Adsense within 180 days, do you need to start all over again.... earning $100 on Referrals within 180 days to be paid? If so, I had no idea and I'll take down my referral buttons!

    It is so .. And it used to be 90 days which made things even worse ..

    But the Adsense team listened to advices from WMW members.

    I dont think he is talking about Adsense refferals.
    he is talking about Firefox product referals...

    But saying "This page is best viewed with Firefox!" above the button is ok, correct?

    Well google says no to that too..if you ask them, however they say if you put it anywhere else (Like on the top of the page, bottom of the article, keeping a considerable distance from the ref button) then its okay..
