It was believed that generating income out of referrals was a tough job. Lol, for me it was almost impossible. But there is a good news now
Google Adsense has revised it’s pricing structure for adsene referrals.
Here are the details:
Adsense Referrals:
- When a publisher who signed up for Google AdSense through your referral earns their first $5 within 180 days of sign-up, you will be credited with $5.
- When that same publisher earns $100 within 180 days of sign-up and is eligible for payment, you will be credited with an additional $250.
- If, in any 180-day period, you refer 25 publishers who each earn more than $100 within 180 days of their respective sign-ups and are all eligible for payout, you will be awarded a $2,000 bonus (bonus payouts are limited to 1 per year).
Adwords Referrals:
- When an advertiser you refer spends $5 within 90 days of sign-up (in addition to the $5 sign-up fee) you will be credited with $5.
- When that same advertiser spends $100 within 90 days of sign-up, you will be credited with an additional $40.
- If, in any 180 day period, you refer 20 advertisers who each spend more than $100 within 90 days of their respective sign-ups, you will be awarded a $600 bonus (bonus payments are limited to 1 per year).
The rules however follow as they were in the TOS. you cannot click your own refferals and neither would you be paid by doing so. Banned! Probably yes!
The new pricing structure actually applies to the publishers who have reffered but who have not yet reached one of the new earning/spend thresholds.
That’s even cooler.
For me, well two days back, i removed referrals from all my sites. I though it was a waste of space.
Alas, back to work now and place all the referrals back again.
