    Google Adsense has just sent an official email to all Adsense members informing that Google is retiring the Adsense Referrals Program starting the last week of August
    there’s no point in maintaining the Adsense Referrals Program anymore.
    Google has relaunched DoubleClick’s Performics ad affiliate network as the new Google Affiliate Network

    Luckily, only a minor portion of my Adsense income comes from Referral.
