January 15, 2008 at 00:57AdSense Referral Letter
I just got a sad email from Google about AdSense referrals ...
"Hello!
The purpose of this letter is to provide you with important information regarding
referrals that point to an AdSense product. As part of the program for
optimizing the potential revenue of web publishers, we are constantly
experimenting with new features aimed at increasing the
profit of our partners, as well as analyze and make changes to
existing products in this category. In particular, such
studies have been carried out for referral units offering
visitors to publisher sites to sign up for AdSense. During the
long work with this program over the past year, we
have come to the conclusion that other similar products are more beneficial for
web publishers in your area. This is why the referral program
pointing to AdSense will be closed in the next few
weeks. This change will not affect referrals promoting other
products and services.
If your site has referrals inviting users to
sign up for AdSense, check out the
information about future changes below .
In early January, your account will not be able to
create new blocks of referrals that point to AdSense. You will
continue to receive accruals for all existing referrals until
the end of January or until you reach a total income of $ 100
USA, after which this program will be completely suspended.
Existing referral blocks will still be displayed on the
pages of your site.
We recommend that you remove all referral units that point to AdSense
no later than the last week of January. Blocks of referrals that you do not
delete will continue to be displayed on the pages of the site, but
conversions on them will not be taken into account. We suggest replacing such
links to AdSense with referrals to other products or services, or
to ad units.
Thank you for promoting AdSense among your
site visitors and apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
Sincerely,
The Google AdSense
