It is “up to” 2 dollars, so it could be 10 cents if a user from India installs it.

Darren,

Is the google pack referral released by Google.
Because i still am not able to find it in the referrals.

It shows only Picasa, Adsense, Firefox and adwords referrals.
Will it take time to our country?

I am from india.

[...] ProBlogger.net is a site just full of information. Adsense tips for Bloggers is an 8 part series on various tips and information about using Adsense within your blog, again a great source of information regardless of whether you want to run a blog or adsense on a web site. The site also has Affiliate tips too. This is the type of site where the blogger has tried a lot of what is already out there. Whilst it is always a case of what works for one may not work for another, at least you can get a head start with this site on what’s good to try in the first place. [...]

I have noticed that non-firefox browsers aren't able to view the picasa's referral link correctly. A normaly 'ads box' will appear up instead of real links under Internet Explorer 6 and Opera 8.54. Are you all facing the same problems as well?

Oh just thought, about the putting these on my image galleries etc, I removed all google ads from these galleries a long time ago, of course they were performing badly, … so badly I think it effected my whole account as it gave me a very low CTR, after I removed them, my over all cash went up, maybe I was “un smart priced”……
Putting these on my gallery, would have a very low ctr, and high impressions, would this effect the Adsense Ad’s part?, Im hoping its separate, I know the referrals part is … but what do you think?

Shame its US only, especialy when in no U.s, but 90%+ of my traffic is U.s.

I wonder how the Picasa one will perform on my Image Galleries? :)

I do hope they will make a referral program for their Google Store. Those USB Drives will be appropriate for my site. But I doubt that since it doesn’t add any value to their core product. :)

Google still has a lot to learn about affiliate programs. Of course, now it's even easier to fill your pages with Google referral buttons. Content avoidance, that's just great!

Hi Michele!

I think those things will still depend on the content of your site. If you’re blog is about blogging, I think the Adsense buttons will be more effective. If you’re blog is about photography then the Picasa thing might net some income. :)

Henry – I never make any money off the products anyway.. so it’s no great loss

Thanks Darre. Indeed no Google Pack for us. It is only for US publishers at this time.

Michele – I’m in Ireland :)
So it’s more than just the language setting this time? Hmmm

Derek – yep you’re right. They will work best on contextually relevant sites. Even on a site like ProBlogger the conversion of my AdSense referrals has been terrible (I think from memory I’ve had only one conversion in 4 or so months.

Henry – in addition to the 3 AdSense blocks, 1 link unit block and 1 search unit you can have one link or button for EACH referral type (ie one for AdSense, one for Firefox, one for Picassa etc). So yes you can add referrals to what you’ve already got.

xfiles – yes that’s true. I wonder why it’s ‘up to’.

Michele – are you in the US? From memory you’re in Ireland? It seems to be US based publishers only.

I can’t see the “google pack” option. Am I blind?
