Google Referrals

And it'll just sit on your page doing nothing like before. What Mido is showing is somebody else's earnings (he says this in another thread) and he's trying desperately to figure out how the guy got $100 in Firefox referrals. The answer is simple: You need to have a site that "pushes" Firefox (in reviews, etc) or he's doing it illegally. You can't have a site about, say, cheese, and expect people to download your Firefox referrals.

 

Or he uses explorer destroyer, pretty easy to make big money with that. Whether it is "legit" or not I'm not entirely sure.

i think google's requirements in order to get paid are way too resrictive and designed in favor of them not having to pay that i'm considering replacing all my referal buttons. it's just wasted space.

 

Well that's one of the downside of the Google referrals, especially the Firefox. $1 per lead is not worth really promoting.

 

I've had (until now) 7 successful conversions for the Adsense refferal..

Not much but hey .. I still have 1200+ people that could become sucessful.

 

I'm going to try my hand at Adsense signup referrals..
These are probably the hardest - but the $100 makes it worth the effort..

 

Adwords refferals have a much higher conversion rate though ..

It's much easier to spend 100 USD, than to earn the same ammount

 

I would have thought it would be the other way around. People prefer to make money rather than spend it.

 

I didn't say prefer .. I said it's easier to spend them than to earn them

 

I think what he means is that spending $100 in adwords can happen in a very short time, there is less chance of someone signing up to adsense making their $100 in a short time. many don't even make the $100 within the time limit....

 

Yup dude .. that's my theory

 

They rarely get clicked on my site. The only time I see a little action is when a new version of Firefox is released, and I make a post noting that the new version has been released.

I'm curious of trying to create a Firefox-related site and see how the referrals work, but there's already so many sites related to it...

 

I agree, the referral buttons don't work very well. I have them on many page of my site that receives about 1500 unique visitors a day. Every once in a while I get a click, but no conversion.

I have found that putting a contextually targetted ad in it's place pays much more.

 

i ever got 1 $ from picasa
and that's the only once in a month.....

 

I just got my first Adsense signup !
What are the chances of it converting ?

 

Small..

Wait 6 months anyway That's when you'll get the money.

 

Expertu brother one of my frnds who have signed up under me had completed his 100$ mark in remarkable 80 days but still I didnt got the money any idea when i will get the money?

 

Well are you sure that he had your refferer when he signed up ?
