Is anyone making anything with Picasa referrals?

    I have a Picasa ad on my myspace site, which I thought would fit in with my traffic. I get a click every other day, but have not had any conversions. Is it just me?

    ive had quite a few referals in the past, i think its because people dont really know what it is, google didn't do a very good job of promoting that one.

    Yeah, I agree. I didn't know what it was until I saw it in the referrals section. I think I might write a little tutorial and reccomend it.

    A few people have asked me how to use their own pictures as a background, so that should tie in pretty well.

    I got 50 c from a Picassa referral, which went up to $1 later that day (for the same click).
    Check out this thread about how to make your referral buttons more attractive.

    I use the referal image ads to place next to my regular ad units - if you can get a click from it, good. If you don't get a click on it, it'd serve as attention getter for your regular ads, eg. the now well-known technique of placing images near your ads.
