    Ive read this story at Digg

    http://digg.com/deals/Site_offers_half_of_ad_revenue_for_Firefox_downloads

    bonemicrosoft dot com offers 0.50$ for each firefox download...

    Firefox Revenue Share -we'll send you $.50 for ditching Microsoft's awful attempt at taking over the web.

    Ok, though I wonder how the heck they track that.

    That's a good way to get people to download it, but just like jbw said, there's probably no way to track it. On top of that, giving an incentive to users is probably against Google AdSense's TOS as it is to ask users to click on ads. I cannot confirm this, but I would assume it would be against the TOS.

    That is undoubtedly a violation of TOS as it offers an illegal incentive.

    Google offers a dollar for a firefox download. They also incorporated their Google toolbar into the download.
