I have recently had some referral tracking issues with my “Adwords referrals” program at Google. I was seeing “conversions” but was not being paid. I could not resolve it with the support. They gave some weired reasons and I could not argue.

But today, Randy (from grownupgeek.com), who is one of the biggest firefox referral publisher, made a post about firefox referral tracking issues which he is seeing in his reports. He says that somebody from Google confirmed it that there is some bug, which is being addressed.

So does it mean that all the money which was not tracked will be lost? Or, will publishers will be compensated? I think surely not. Google will not even talk about it, I am not sure how somebody from Google even confirmed it to a publisher that it is a bug.

Are you using Adsense Referrals? Did any of you see any such problem?

We’ve given you many optimization tips over the years, and, as you know, it’s important to consider how your ad implementations affect not only your click-through rate, but your users’ and advertisers’ experience as well. To support this, we’d like to remind you of the following two guidelines when optimizing your site.1. Ads shouldn’t be placed under a title or section heading in a way that implies that the ads are not ads.For example, ads shouldn’t be placed under titles such as “Dallas Business Opportunities” or “Today’s Hot Deals”. Placing ads directly below titles such as these implies to your users that the links in the ads are publisher-created content. The example below shows a placement that does not follow this guideline.2. Ads should be easily distinguishable from surrounding content.Similarly, you should not place an ad unit by a group of links that has identical colors and line spacing. Doing so may cause users to think the ad unit is content created by you. In this situation, we recommend using a different color for the ad titles or indenting the ad unit to help distinguish the ads from your own content. This screenshot shows an implementation that does not follow this guideline:As you can imagine, users who click on ads that they think are publisher-created content may lose trust in your site and decide not to return in the future. It’s important to keep their interests in mind, as well as your own.Also, advertisers can tell which sites have a high conversion rate for them using Placement Performance reports. A conversion occurs when a click on an ad leads directly to user behavior that the advertiser deems valuable, such as a purchase, sign-up, page view, or lead. Advertisers have the option to exclude your site from their campaigns and may do so if it is not leading to conversions.We believe these guidelines invest in the long-term health of the relationship between AdSense publishers, AdWords advertisers, and your sites’ visitors, and that they will help ensure your continued success in the AdSense program.Posted by Meridith Major - AdSense Publisher Support

March is a not a so good month for me. There were so many unexpected things that came my way. Things that were obstacles in my quest to make more money online. The biggest obstacle is school examination. The preparation although it was a cramming one took a lot of my time from blogging. Cramming for an examination is exhausting. I always cram for examinations in the past 2 years. I used not to, until blogging came to my life and boredom in studying my lessons and going to school struck me. School is not always fun.Another obstacle was my internet connection. I’m using broadband but sometimes I can’t connect online. Weather conditions could have contributed to this problem. Some of my blogs’ PR dropped as well which had a huge impact on my earnings. So anyway, let’s go straight to the meat of this post.My earnings for this month:click image to enlarge$480- from all the earning sites I am in except adsense. For quick money check this.$166- Adsense earnings which I will be receiving this March 30. I always count my adsense earnings as part of the earnings on the month that I receive them.$90- pending earnings as it is still March 27,2008.Total= $736 or 29,808 in Peso CurrencyAll other payments I shall be receiving on the first week of April shall be counted as part of my April earnings.I am not satisfied with the money I have made this month. I was aiming for $1000 for this month so that I can finance my “review” these months of April and onwards. I have to push myself to do more and work on affiliate marketing. If only I could pull in additional $500 a month from affiliate marketing programs. That’s a challenge I am imposing on myself at the moment. I need to develop an affiliate marketing scheme or strategy that will work for me with less of a cost. I will talk more about affiliate marketing and programs next time.To my readers who wish to make money online, dream big, work hard, and never quit!
