i just checked my account and had one converion for picasa referal...yipee recommended...though it paid only 0.1$ but i guess its ok for starters... did u get any picasa referals????
Considering how much goodwill and money they earn from picasa and firefox I think the referal payouts are really abysmal. I've gotten a couple of firefox refs, but I rather do it to get people using Firefox instead of IE. Not because of the money...
I got $8 from FF referrals over a 3 week period and finally yesterday I got a $1 Picasa referral out of over 150 clicks. I agree = abysmal.
I basically wrote a simple review and showcased some features of Picasa on my site. It's been more than a week and stilll no success with Picasa referrals. Probably people weren't impressed enough to click on the ad. Or, people understand how referral works and avoid clicking on the ad. See my review on Picasa, only if you wish to at http://malaysiaflowers.blogspot.com _______________ No Live Links Yet!
I think people associate Google with searching the net and they are not known as a software company. If the referral said "Picasa" instead of "Google's photo software", more people might click.
I have the Picasa text link on my home page. Over 200 clicks on it with 1 conversion for $1. Abysmal.
I can understand why I would want to promote firefox.. but picasa, it's just another software. It just happens to be made by Google. Even Skype signups pays loads better. They're really counting on all those fanboys here..
