100 bucks? Please!

Enough whining!

Later fellows ;)

What happens in this case? Does google pay just $100 ONCE or $100 for every month that your referral has reached $100 or a total amount of say $300 as in Month 2 that your referral has earned that month?

And why don’t they give a direct referral link like other affiliate programs?

Google is somewhat vague in their referral program’s explanation.

Any ideas?

Will a blog about politics have any success with Google or Chitika referrals?

What I’m getting at, is if your blog doesn’t draw readers who want to learn about blogging, you won’t make much money from these referral programs.

Now that said, if you’re blogging you probably know something about blogging, so why not have a category on your site for blogging tips? And maybe only have the referrals appear on those pages.

There may be some very good sites out there that have not taken up the use of advertising to generate income, but I can’t imagine there are that many, and for every good site out there earning $100+ in a reasonable time, there are tens of thousands of sites who make virtually nothing from adsense over the same period of time.

I’d love to refer a dozen people to adsense who could then earn $100+ in a month or two, but its unlikely.

I’ve added a referral button to my sites, I’ll see if anyone takes it up.

And whats with the none-transparent png’s they are using, nearly as bad as chitikas…..

So, I can assume you just wandered upon ProBlogger. For starters you should go through some of Darren’s old posts. For example, http://www.problogger.net/archives/2004/09/23/adsense-tips-for-bloggers-1/

Then if you need some specific advice, you should really join up at a popular webmaster forum such as DigitalPoint, SitePoint, or Webmaster World.

Please let me know….

And, believe me, there are plenty of people that haven’t heard of Adsense.

Problem is, I doubt if a lot of sites will actually generate $100.

It seems like Google want to get more people on board, but don’t want to pay for it.

They can afford it, so why are they being so tight?!!!.

MFAS, if that is the case, this refer programme is pretty much a dud. It’s just a case of Google throwing their cash about, probably in response to Chitika.

Oh well, I guess Google is after those last few stragglers and wants our help to find them.

Good luck!

Ok, nevermind. I read through the new AdSense terms and conditions.

“You shall not promote or facilitate a Referral Event by any means other than displaying a Referral Button on the Site, unless expressly authorized in writing by Google (including by electronic mail).”

I wonder where the line is drawn in promoting or facilitating a Referral Event.

The sites these will do best on is the ‘make your own website’ ones, etc.

1. Sweeet 100 bucks.
2. It can take for ever to get it…..

So Google is obviously trying to regain/re-establish its role in online advertising. But hey, you get 10 people to earn first $100. that’s a $1000 in your pocket. I just wish buttons were customizable. They just look too ugly.
