Blog Me Cash

Google Adsense Referrals are paid to you on a cost per action (CPA) basis instead of on a cost per click (CPC) basis. You only got paid if someone actually signed up for whatever Google service/product was being referred. I have been using Adsense Referrals for some time now and the results have been disappointing - absolutely no income from them wherein using ad units and link units I do make money online. I recently crossed the US$ 10 per day barrier.

However, with Google’s launch of its new referral system wherein you can select advertisers based on categories and keywords, things may look up. One positive feature is:

Unlike AdSense for content ads, Google’s program policies allow you to make specific references to referral ads on your site. If you endorse the product that you are referring, feel free to let your users know. By adding your personal review of the products you refer, you can help your users make more informed choices.

I’d suggest that you play around with the new Adsense referral system and then decide what best suits you. Ashwini Khare has this to say:

I can display an image/banner/text referral (subject to availability) of any advertiser I want and can personalise the ads look and feel.Also the ad doesn’t change if the option is unchecked.

I have found a service (can’t disclose name) which is agreeing to credit my account with ~60$ if I refer one visitor to use their services. What about that! To be frank I can’t earn that much in a month by Adsense for content.
