Guys, You must have heard about google's referral program. I was a part of it for 3 months and I earned around 600$ from it. I have received all my cheques. But I wanted to know that why did google close this program? It was working perfect for me. I just feel so bad. I had a regular income through it and I was earning almost 20$ a day from it. And suddenly a news comes that google will close it programm in few weeks to come. Guy's do you have a answer to my question? Help me out!! regards --abhishek--
Well it was probably tough for them to keep proper tracks of things.. Maybe fraud prevention wasnt very strong for refferals or less adwords users were interested in it .. There could be many reasons only google knows the real one
Google ended its referral program at the end of August, so it's already been gone for more than a month. What they are doing is shifting people to the Google Affiliate Network: https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/answer.py?answer=97405
This happens when people depend solely on one source of revenue, maybe not the thread starter. I've read of a company getting banned and lost 50% (can't remember but substantial) of the adsense revenue.
