    They have had an AdWords affiliate program for quite a while. And they launched an AdWords referral program for some publishers in select countries last month, so this is the final rollout to all publishers.

    nor are adsense ads for that matter.

    I honestly feel that the referrals are useless. Anyone who's aware of adsense will sign up through the Adsense system. I know I did

    Nice part about referring Adwords is it is 16 times easier to get people to BUY $100 in advertising(rather than teaching them how to EARN the money with Adsense). When I was using adwords I would spend over one hundred dollars in just one week.

    I think people who UPSELL this are gonna make a pretty penny. Problem is...has anyone not advertised on adwords yet? Trying to find the few may be a bit of a task.

    Not everyone has enough traffic to just slap some adsense code and start making some scratch though.

    I wont be participating because I havent earned any money with refferals, and I feel it cheapens the look of the site. I am dreading the day when everyone and thier mother is using adsense and adwords...it might make my share drop =(

    They do, but not if something as popular as google adsense is concerned. Many people use webhosting services that they found from some referral link. :)

    Google needs to seriously consider "prettying" up those referral buttons. They are, in a word, ugggggggggggly.

    Another point: those that are seriously spending on Adwords are big companies, who have a whole online initiative, and are well versed in Adwords and the rest

    Those who see it on your website and would actually sign up because of it, are other bloggers or little business, who would spend very little on adwords, and therefore you'd make: very little.

    It would be nice if google will share a % with us for any moeny spent by the advertiser. This will really make me promote more the program.

    As more players come onto the scene and chip away at their PPC dominance, Google will surely be forced to become looser with the pocket book in regards to their publishers. At least, one can only hope. :)

    Google will just pay $20 outta the first $100 spent by the advertiser, so what are you talkin about? :rolleyes:
