AdSense Referral Program
OK. After doing to posts on speculation, here is the real scoop. There is a new AdSense Referral program:
Spread the word while increasing your earnings through referrals
With our new referrals feature, you can increase your revenue while increasing your users’ awareness of useful products and services. By adding a referral button to your site, you can direct users to sign up for AdSense and monetize their web content, or to download Firefox with Google Toolbar and improve their web browsing experience.
While your users learn more, you can earn more — US $100 for every new AdSense publisher who earns $100 and up to $1 for every new Firefox user.
You can begin referring users immediately – just visit the Referrals tab within your account, choose the product and the referral button you like best, and add the associated snippet of code to your site. Specific instructions for adding a referral to your site can be found here.
When you log into your AdSense account you will see a new “Referrals” tab where you can get AdSense and Firefox referral buttons. I find it interesting that they only have buttons, and not plain text links as well.
This is a great new addition to the program. I’m sure the forums and blogs will be buzzing with this news for the next few days.
