In the recent post, I told you that Adsense is no more going to pay referral money to Non-US publishers but in a recent update on adsense blog says something else.
The changes to referrals promoting AdSense will now depend on where your users are located, regardless of your location as a publisher. You’ll earn $100 for every user you refer to AdSense who is located in North America, Latin America or Japan when they generate $100 in AdSense revenue within 180 days and they remove all payment holds. You’ll no longer be paid for users you refer who are located elsewhere. These changes will go into effect the last week of January.The option to add a referral unit for AdSense will reappear in your account when you target any referral unit to Japan and/or any countries in North America and Latin America.
Again, there are some changes in other Google products such as Firefox and Google pack. Now, you will get upto 1$ instead of 2$ when the user runs google pack for the first time. Also, there will be a reduction in payments of Firefox referrals in China. These changes are going to take place in the first week of February ‘08.
So guys, what do you say? I think “it’s something better than nothing.”
