I decided today to start testing the Google AdSense Referral program. What got me was that not only can you refer people to AdSense, but now you can refer people to Firefox. Since I’m a big Firefox user, this was enough of a push for me to start testing.

The message on my landing page, that Firefox referrals are now live internationally, definitely worked. Cause here I am.

So, it’s really easy to set up and get going. Under the “Referrals” tab, simply select either AdSense or Firefox to promote. Then, choose which size and message you want. It will produce some code you can then stick on your site.

Until I redo BloggingHelp, I’m just starting with Blogaholics. I might make a whole new section for it, like ‘Blogging Tips’ or something, but for now it’s at the bottom of a column. Not the best place, but a day or two will tell me if it’s worth shifting around.

About the Referral Program:

Referrals offer you a new revenue opportunity while increasing your users’ awareness of useful products and services. Adding a referral button to your website enables you to generate additional earnings by directing users to download or sign up for products such as AdSense.

Your earnings for referrals will vary depending on the product you’re referring.

When a user you’ve referred to AdSense first earns US $100, we’ll credit your AdSense account with US $100. When a user you’ve referred to Firefox plus Google Toolbar runs Firefox for the first time, you’ll receive up to $1 in your account, depending on the user’s location.
