Is Google "getting" affiliate marketing?

    Hi folks,
    Google recently announced their AdSense referral program, where basically they pay a $100 one-time reward to you for referring them a new AdSense publisher. The $100 is paid out when the referred publisher makes $100 on their own AdSense program.

    This seems like a good start but does it seem to be fair to you? Would you rather prefer a % of their 1st year earnings ala Chitika, or something similar that is more closely tied to the performance of the referred customer?

    Cheers,
    Peter

    i think they have done it that way so that people dont start multiple accounts and nicking the bonuses.

    How hard would it be to have 5 adsense accounts all making $100? !'s hard enough for me :)
