    I'm not a fan of firefox :/. I actually made my first Google money from a FireFox referral :p. I am not currently promoting it.

    Firefox referl is not too good - its price is upto 1$ but mostly all i see is 10 cents per successful referal.

    I have been using one other refferal which made me 13$ per referal - all It requires is a Signup which was 100% free :)

    Same story here. Not much earnings through it.

    The thing is that I read somewhere that they pay only if someone from US installs firefox on a machine where it wasn't installed before. But nowadays firefox is pretty popular. So not much chances for that kind of earning.

    Which one is that?

    and also the highest paying one says just over $50 for a free signup, but would they really pay that for a free signup?

    I used to use it and it worked out great got almost 1$ everytime. Not anymore though, I think Google is starting to get rid of it (lower payout) because they are seeing that not many people are actually using the software compared to how many download.

    The new refferal is much better.

    I made an extra 3% on my AdSense earnings with Google Pack this month, and I don't have a technology blog, but I do have my WordPress plugin to pimp it to new customers but hide it from regulars:

    http://whatjapanthinks.com/recommend-google-pack-wordpress-plugin/

    Click-through rate is a pathetic 0.0x%, but 50% conversion once they click, and just about a buck per punter.

    Actually, looking at my all-time figures, this month seems to have been the exception rather than the rule...

    I guess you could say I've had some success with the FireFox+Toolbar referral.

    The payout goes UP TO $1, which is what gets paid for conversions from the United States.. the vast, vast majority of my conversions are at the full $1, but i do sometimes see them for as low as $0.10 .. If you do it right, you can earn good $ with this referral..

    Made $6 off of it in 3 months.

    That's not bad considering I spent 10 seconds to put it up.

    Firefox ref not making much. Took those ads off from my site already. Having blend in ads are way better than having firefox download banner.

    I get several of all of them a day. I just stared seeing more $1, way way out of proportion. At first they were hard (refs) but then i figured them out. Now i get about as many as anybody else anywhere. They are about 85% of all my (g-folks) revenue. Simpler with one good tag-line is best by far. and they need to be precisely targeted. But once they get rolling they don't need much retuning. I love the referral aspect of G-folks, you can make a killing for years with no effort.

    Try something like a perfect fit size button with a good tagline i branded my niche for the pack and it paid off in a few months. And has been for a year or more.

    Hope that helps (it will)

    I think Shoemoney had a site to promote that referral when it first started and it didn't make him much at all either.

    Then he was doing it wrong.

    I also recall him posting that he thinks the FF referral is a bad deal because it only pays $1, whereas there are other CPA offers that pay much more and are easier to convert..

    For me, however, the FF referral has been by far the easiest to convert and the most successful for me. And for those of you that know about my site, you know that means it's been very successful..
