Better Google Adsense Referral Bonus

Lots of changes around Google Adsense lately that I haven’t covered. One of them is the lifting of the restrictions against other contextual ads like YPN, Kontera, etc. being displayed together with Adsense. Nice move there. It allows publishers to really see and compare the performance of each ad and their ROI.

Next is this Adsense Referral Program which used to have a really dumb policy. What are the chances that a newly signed up Adsense Publisher will make $100PHP 5,869INR 8,475EUR 95CNY 728 in the first 90 days? Here’s the revised one:

• When your referral earns $5PHP 293INR 424EUR 5CNY 36 in the first 180 days, you get a $5PHP 293INR 424EUR 5CNY 36 referral fee.
• If your referral earns $100PHP 5,869INR 8,475EUR 95CNY 728 in the first 180 days, you get a $250PHP 14,671INR 21,187EUR 238CNY 1,820 referral fee.
• Within 180 days, if you refer 25 Adsense Publishers and each of them earns at least a $100PHP 5,869INR 8,475EUR 95CNY 728, you get a $2,000PHP 117,371INR 169,500EUR 1,905CNY 14,557 bonus.

The last bonus is limited to once per year but I must say the the $5PHP 293INR 424EUR 5CNY 36 is very much doable, the $100PHP 5,869INR 8,475EUR 95CNY 728 in 180 days has a good chance and the $2,500PHP 146,714INR 211,875EUR 2,381CNY 18,196 is pretty exciting. If only Google had done this on day one (*sigh*). I guess they realized the old scheme wasn’t doing much push on the campaign. I might put back those Adsense referral banner ads back after this.
