    Some crowd want to decrease the use of Internet Explorer and are teaming up with Google to give users $1 for everyone they get to install Firefox....

    Interesting....

    It is a pretty good idea on Google's part, it gets more people to install Google toolbars which will help protect Google's search engine market share, while at the same time eroding Microsoft’s dominance in the Internet Brower market. Therefore, if Microsoft integrates a search feature into IE the effect on Google will be minimized as more people will be using Firefox with a Google search function already installed.

    Cool Idea, it will be interesting to see how Microsoft responds.

    The CTR for Firefox banner is terrible. The pay is often 10 cents. I personally make several hundred times more from AdSense than from Firefox conversions. It's an absolute waste of time.

    Get a $1 from Google referral program.
    It's a good start for you.

    The CTR on that firefox banner is abysmal. Incredibly disappointing. I switched to the text link yesterday, I'm hoping that will do better.

    I can't wait for the MSN comeback when their publisher network gets going.
    'publishers will be getting a free copy of windows for every new IE7 user'.

    Yeah but I hate that clunky IE so much I'm willing to risk it. Bill Gates need to get off his butt and improve IE already. What a major POS IE is, especially compared to Firefox.
