How to Improve adsense referral firefox earnings

Hi,

I wrote this for my weblog and then I post here, this is a little guide about how to improve your firefox referrals earnings:

If you want to improve your adsense referrals results you can tweak your wordpress index.php

1. Go to: Presentation --> Theme Editor
2. Edit your index.php
3. Above

< ?php get_header(); ?>

PHP:

insert:

<?php 
$br = strtolower($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']);

if(ereg("msie", $br)) {
  echo '<div>Download Mozilla Firefox :)</div>';
  } 

?>

PHP:

With this code, if a visitor is using Internet Explorer he will see the note (Download Mozilla Firefox) at the top of your weblog. Change this for your referral link.

You can style the div if you want to blend with your design.

This code can be used for all php pages not only in Wordpress

 

Would this violate TOS? Just curious. It would bring undue attention to the link, but at the same time, if you site is made for firefox it is beneficial.

 

Hi ,

I've done that on my 800 (daily) users online forum.

After tracking my user's browser uisng Webalizer and w3counter, 80% of them are using MSIE

The logic
User enter my forum
->> PHP check the header whether IE or not ( store in $_SESSION )

if TRUE ->> redirect to firefox.html and in that page I'll eloborate about the advantage of using Mozilla, if he/she agree..will click to my Adsense Firefox, if not, they can continue using the forum without any interfere...and set the $_SESSION['view_ad'] == TRUE;.......until they closed the browser..and the step will be repeated again.

My earning jumped a lot just from Firefox referral alone, but my adsense dropped due to all the ads was PSAs !!.

The safer way is using ExplorerDestroyer.com

 

Of course, you could display Picassa referral buttons to visitors who are already using Firefox. This way you can still get some money from people you've already managed to convert. Oh, and strpos() is faster than ereg() for simple strings.

$br = strtolower($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']);
if(strpos($br, 'msie')) {
  echo '<div>Download Mozilla Firefox :)</div>';
} else {
  echo '<div>Download Google Picassa :)</div>';
}

PHP:

Cryo.

PS: www.ExplorerDestroyer.com looks good, though I haven't tried it yet.

 

bazat. Good idea.

I think a variant can be used for most any page. If you detech IE then place your very own ad/text/message saying.. Hey, you are using IE, what are you thinking!!! When they click on your ad then go to another page that has nothing but the firefox referral on it.

The question is, does it count as enticing if the referral is on its own page with no enticing on it.

 

already been discussed, i asked that same question.

 

i think it is against the toss

 

how would this be against terms of service? Referral links you can publicize and encourage visits. Referrals are not PPC , but a user has to take action and meet a criteria for you to get paid out. Google tell you that you can draw attention to referral links.

 

Ah really ? maybe i didnt read the TOS. carefully enough though, ok i will read it again and will do if it really within the rules. ^^

 

Any screenshot for it?

 

Actually you are disturbing the user you can show add but don't force to download firefox. It means each and every time user come to your page and you will say download it. User will never come next time to your site if this thing happen.

 

I like this idea but run it with OpenAds (phpAdsNew) and limit it to show only once per day.

Or per week

 

well i think its aginst the TOS, first asked to the Adsense
