Firefox referrals: does anyone make $$$ from this?

    Contemplating whether using it or not.

    Curious whether anyone makes much dough referring to Firefox with Google Toolbar.

    Plus I've heard payout fluctuates between countries; any UK users had experience using it?

    Cheers.

    I've made a few dollars from FF referrals..
    You cant just slap a button on your site - you really have to "endorse" it and give your visitors a reason to use it - and if your visitors aren't pre-disposed to installing it, you wont do well.. for example, if your site is about fish-tanks, you probably wont have much luck selling your visitors on FireFox.. however if your website is about Internet safety, and your visitors are looking for ways to make their web-browsing safer, you will probably get a lot of conversions..

    You should make a site about IE bugs, cos there are so many. Give users a reason to use Firefox. Cos it's just better. Faster in every way as well, and less ram consuming.

    it depends on the topic of pages where you will place firefox referral ads,

    I have a site with 400+ pages, I have firefox image ad on every page, in 6 months, I got 1 referral

    It doesn't matter how many pages you have the FF image Ads or what on; how many visitors you are getting is what matters. :)

    I get about 10-15 firefox referrals a month. Its not really about the money though. I just really wish people would stop using IE. I mean come on...my site looks great in every browser except for IE6. If you're still gonna use ancient IE, at least upgrade to IE7.

    I have never gotten any money for Firefox referrals.
    I guess if you wrote an article on firefox and put the referral on that page you could get clicks.
