    Ok i added firefox referrals to one of my sites as an experiment and i got loads of data now to make a desicion (hope this helps anyone who is thinking of putting firefox referrals on their site)


    since 31st november 8,729,511impressions @ 731clicks @ 76conversions at $23 :eek:

    the results are awfull, im imediately removing these :(

    also according to google analytics for the same time period 35% of my users already use firefox



    in case your wondering why google is pimping firefox so much, mozilla is making $72million estimated yearly http://www.internetnews.com/dev-news/article.php/3590756 , http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/03/11/0539245

    I've just started trying the firefox referral system, one thing you have to remember is that the rate is up to $1 per referral. The amount depends on the location of the person. So far I'm seeing a $1 per person.

    Where are most of your users located?

    Not quite everywhere, there are a few islands that don't have dots on them!

    Seriously though, From the stats you gave the performance for you has been bad, I guess it depends, like any other advertising, on your target audience.

    Dude 23 bucks is not bad for FireFox referrals. Most people barely make 5 dollars with their firefox referrals.

    I was promoting Firefox on my sites for free before, so I switched them over to the Google referals. I think the browser if great and if I can make an extra few dollars promoting it I'll keep the ads on. Just don't rely on it to make you rich.
