Adsense referral 8375 $ ?! WOW.

Discussion in 'AdSense' started by nickflame, Jul 11, 2007.

    Hey guys, i was doing some calculations and i wonder whether you know anything about this issue:
    Google says that

    #

    * When a publisher who signed up for Google AdSense through your referral first earns US$5 within 180 days of sign-up, you will be credited with US$5.

    * When that same publisher earns US$100 within 180 days of sign-up and is eligible for payment, you will be credited with an additional US$250.

    * If in any 180-day period you refer 25 publishers who each earn more than US$100 within 180 days of their respective sign-ups and are all eligible for payment, you will be awarded a US$2,000 bonus (bonus payments are limited to 1 per year).


    So lets say that 25 referrals sign up under my ref link


    When they first reach 5 $ , i will get 25 x 5 = 125 $.
    When they reach 100 $ i will get 25 x 250 = 6250 $
    Plus the extra 2000 $ bonus

    Adds up to 8375 $. Is that right? Or if i refer 25 i will get just the 2000 bonus but without the 250 x 25?
    Who knows? Please leave an answer i will rep you if it is documented, thanks.

    Bonus means on top of that other. So you'll get 8375$ for it, if you manage to do it.

    That would be so sweet. I've only every got one referral, Firefox and that was only a dollar.

    Wow, that would be awesome! I didn't know that I could make money like that! I'll have to talk to my friends about possibly putting Ad Sense on their sites. I thought I would just make an initial earning of like a dollar or something!

    The hard part is having your friends try to get that money in time.

    Realistically just aim for the $5 bonus. It will be more rewarding since it is more feasible than the $100 bonus.

    Computing money is the funniest part, the most difficult is to get to where you get to count money. From my experience it is better to not count the money before having them :)

    That is what you do now.

    The likelyhood of getting 25 referrals that get over $100 in 180 days is very very very low. I have never ever had one.

    Like Robert Allen said

    Its hard to even get 25 Referrals , even if you get them all to sign up from your Refferal button and for them to make $100 within 180 is pritty slim , i would say half of the 25 that sign up would be banned due to braking TOS , and Googles happy hands hitting bann button lol
    IMO

    i think referrals are not a way of making good money. so better to leave the referral buttons to be clicked by chance.
