Holy crap I got a payment from referrals...

    Viewing my referral stats, clicked all time.

    Someone signed up on Friday 22/12/06

    I received $5 on the first of February, and another $250US on the 12 of February.

    Very unexpected!!

    Boosts what I lost last month, back up to normal again :D

    Referrals are like a hidden bonus - I use them on all my sites. When they first started these, I got a lot of signups and fogot about it, but then four or five months later all these $100 payments started rolling in - sweeeeeet! :)

    I figured most people would not make the required money before they quit. I never bothered with it. Sounds like i should atleast take a look at it but i wonder what percent of refferals ever make you the money.

    I would like google to have a percent of profits program instead of one time payment.

    You're lucky, I never get referrals when I use adsense. I hope they keep coming to you because they sure earn more than most clicks ;)

    So the chances of getting a person signed up is 0.001%? :eek:

    Yes, but the chances of that one person hitting the $100 mark in the alloted period of of time is 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000001%
    It's a tough sell.. that's why Google just changed the payout structure last month..
