I got a email from them tooo about this but dint pay attention to it now after reading that it works I gotta Upgrade to Referral 2.0
I just tried again to see what will happen but this time on another site with different niche and different traffic base. Hope to make some $$$$$$$$$ Soon
Just checked my account and its active now - although I didn't get contacted to tell me so. I'm giving it a shot - the ads look OK in my niche - let's see how it goes.
They may like them, but not enough to pay money for them! a different story than normal ads where all they have to do is to click!
Is it still 3 ad units, +' 1 link unit + 1 referral unit allowed ? I just saw this on my account ( after reading this thread ), havent got idea that they changed anything in referral, cause I havent used referral before.
I've got it too, although all my niches have very low ratings for commissions, so I'm going for a firefox referral. Good news is, I've already got 2!
Why doesn't anybody call this what it is The Google Affiliate Network? I guess its contextually allocated on the fly, which I don't know if any other network does. Still, I like CPC, that affiliated stuff was so sporadic for me, mostly nothing, never continuous like CPC.
Maybe its just my keywords and audience, but i am getting conversions. I suspect it wont work for a lot of people as there is not that many advertisers, but i will grow in a very short time. At firsts i had like 10 companies showing ads on my site for 1 keyword entered...but google quickly showed the converting ads more often and i rarely even see the pooly converting ones now. Also, as more advertisers join under a certain keyword they are added automaticly to your list and compete with the others. maybe its my sites, maybe its my keywords...but its working for me.
I took three categories, Computers & Electronics, Telecommunications , and Games. Rest all depends on type of traffic you get to have conversions I guess.
