Anyone earning cash by including Google Adsense ads on your websites now have another option to consider – referrals of others to Adsense.
In other words, Google has just added an affiliate program to Adsense
and it pays a nice up front referral fee of $100 credit to your Adsense account when your referral earns their first $100 with Adsense.
Certainly seems like a built-in bonanza for anyone already operating in the online marketing, pay-per-click or advertising niche markets – they have an automatic customer base that they can market such a program.
Does make you wonder, however, what each progressive stage Google makes to expand their market does to the quality of the advertising. If the quality goes down, you’ll have lower demand for advertising meaning lower cost per click in Adsense. In the end, Google may continue to earn more as the number of Adsense advertisers grow substantially, however each Adsense advertiser may see their income reduced.
Something to watch for – I know I will be.
