Google Adsense Wired Collection

Whenever people ask me the optimized way to make money online from their website I suggest them using 3 things combined:

Adsense
Kontera
One or two links from any of the text link buying program like TNX or text link ads

I suggest these three things together because in my opinion none of them eat up the revenue from the other programs. Kontera is proved not to reduce the Adsense earnings. And, text link ads are hardly clicked. They are there for the SEO benefit only.

So what is this new way to make money online?

Well, it is just one more option for the third option above. That is, one more network to sell links on your website. Why this new back links selling network is a good way to make more money? I will just explain that.

This new back links network is very similar to TNX or text link ads but with a big difference. The difference is their referral program.

You can make money in two ways:

By selling links on your websites
By referring other webmasters for $25 each [auto accepted]

Why is it good?
Their referral program is great because they pay you $25 for each person you refer joins as a publisher to sell links and sells at-least one link. The referrals are accepted automatically into the program. Yes, everybody is accepted. Your referral just need to sell one link on your site (may be just for $0.50) to get you $25 in referral fee.

So, just do the following:

Register with them.
Add a site and sell at-least one link on it.
Refer webmasters and make sure that they sell at-least one link on their site.
That is it. You will make $25 on every account referred.

So, don’t you think its a good idea? In my opinion, it is. So go ahead and register.

Google has retired their Adsense referral program. Here is the email they sent:

Thank you for participating in the AdSense Referrals program.
We’re writing to let you know that we will be retiring the AdSense
Referrals program during the last week of August. We appreciate
your patience during this transition and here are some alternative
options to consider:

* Google Affiliate Network: As part of the integration of
DoubleClick, the DoubleClick Performics Affiliate Network will now
operate as the Google Affiliate Network for advertisers targeting
users located in the United States. Similar to the AdSense
Referrals program, the Google Affiliate Network enables publishers
to apply for advertiser programs and get paid based on
advertiser-defined actions instead of clicks or impressions. For
further details, please visit: www.google.com/ads/affiliatenetwork.

* AdSense for content ads: If you have less than three AdSense
for content ad units on a page, you may wish to replace the
referral ad units with standard AFC ad units.

If you currently use referral ads, either to promote Google
products or offerings from AdWords advertisers, AdSense Referrals
code will no longer display ads beginning the last week of August.
We encourage you to take the following steps before the product is
retired:

* Remove the referral code from your site(s): Please take a
moment to remove all referral code from your sites before the last
week of August, so you can continue to effectively monetize your
ad space.

* Run and save all referrals reports on your desktop: Create
and save all reports related to the referrals program on your
desktop, so you continue to have access to your valuable campaign
information

Today AdSense announced that they are drawing their ‘Referrals’ program to a close and are relaunching a new Google affiliate network. In actual effect the new affiliate network is not ‘new’ - but a rebranded version of DoubleClick’s Performics Affiliate Network which they acquired in March.

This is news that many of us expected - particularly since Google bought DoubleClick earlier in the year. It’s also not surprising as most publishers that I know have had very little success with the Referrals program within AdSense. In fact I’m one of the only people that I know who made much from it - and that almost dried up when they changed the referrals program for AdSense.

If You Promote AdSense Referrals Products…

If you’re a blogger promoting some kind of AdSense Referrals product it’s time to remove the ad and replace it with something else. You can still run the ads but they’ll stop working in the last week of August.

It is not clear whether the referrals that you’ve made that have not converted will also become void in the last week of August also. This is something I’d like to see AdSense clarify as some of their programs have quite long lead times for those that you refer to ‘convert’ and therefore to earn you money.

Google Affiliate Network

The new Google Affiliate Network does not something that everyone will be able to use. They say that they are targeting sites with largely US based traffic - I’m yet to see any clarification on how they’ll be filtering publishers, whether there is a traffic based minimum to get in etc. Time will tell as publishers start applying. At present I know that Performics has accepted me as a publisher (I was previously using it) so it’s not too hard to get into I hope!

No More Google Affiliate Products

Those of you promoting ‘Google Products’ through the current ‘Referrals’ system should know that there are no plans at this point to have these products available to promote through the new affiliate network. They may come later but my sources at Google say that these programs are coming to an end and there will be no immediate way to make money by sending them new AdSense publishers, AdWords advertisers etc.
