I looked around and didnt see this posted anywhere - if I missed it, i'm sorry. Since a large percentage of my earnings used to come from referrals (I still earn a lot from referrals, but not as large of a percentage) I've often made posts as the "referrals expert" - And I've also made many posts stating that Adsense Referral buttons are to be treated the same as Adsense for Content - meaning you cant say "Click here to download Firefox"... Well guess what!? Now you CAN SAY CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD FIREFOX (or other) REFERRALS! You can see Google's post about it here: https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/answer.py?answer=43870&topic=8972 I also verified this via phone today with my Google "contact".. This is great for publishers - the simple act of being allowed to put the "click here" should increase Referrals quite a bit. Speaking of referrals, anyone see the new Adsense Case studies? I heard a rumor that a DP Member was one of the new features.
This is great. I was already doing this since I figured it commen sense, but in this world it isn't commen enough. Thanks for the info.
Wow its hard to believe !! Google don't care much about common sense when its something about their TOS. maybe FF guys and Google must have thought get more downloads whatever the way.
just clarification... you mean i can place a firefox button and place a text above it " Click below to download fire fox" am i right?? let me know
Thanks for clearing this up. I added click below to download firefox to my site and hour ago and already received 2 referrals ;-)
