have any of u checked the news of changes in adsense policy. they have actually backdated the policy by 2 months and now u r not allowed to put more then 4 referral buttons per page.
maybe because they are planning to introduce some more referral. thats the only logical expression tweety.
I'm sorry, I don't follow. I understand putting a referral ad in a couple of different places but smattering it all over the page doesn't make a lot of sense. To me it seems they are more or less just trying to prevent really spammy pages from having "google" all over it. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Can you explain any good/legitimate purposes to have say 6 or 7 referral ads within a single page???
We couldn't put more than 4 since that's the maxium now with Picasa, firefox, adsense and adwords. And we could only put one button per product. But I don't think it's a good thing to limit the amount to 4! I want to refer EVERYTHING, I was ok with the one button per product, but the 4 limit is stupid in my opinion. Well as long as there is only 4 products to refer I don't mind
maybe some were putting more then 4 buttons on their pages, but don't know for sure. i guess google is going to release some more referral buttons. I haven't seen google pack option in my adsense account though, don't know why. Here is a pic from google adsense referral page. i wonder when will i see google pack option (its a $2 referral button)
oh yes, I forgot google pack because I don't have it either, so that means we already have to make a choice between products, not very cool, small buttons look ok in a sidebar and we could have a bunch of them, visitors can choose.
No i'm not using it.. and as far as i can tell, the "click the button to download" text violates the Adsense TOS.. My site is tech-related and i have a few pages that anyone coming to those pages really needs (or thinks they will need) firefox.. and of course i really push it.
not even if u have a learn-to-make-easy-money-on-internet kind of site? and if not then why not? ( of course its just a hypothetical question)
that kind of website might better for adsense referral or adwords referral. If I make the web design, photo editing related. i just put picasa if I make tech related I would put google pack, firefox I don't know what website fit for all. If not, the owner want to put all of them.
you are absolutely right. there is no point in filling your site with these buttons if the site have different theme. even i m putting these button on only one of my blogs. Right now i have three button on that page and i am seriously thinking of removing picasa referral button, not because i don't make money from it but, like you said, it should fit in. Putting all those referral button just gives it a MFA look which in my opinion is a big turn off.
