Google Refferals

[Brandon]

Anyone make any money off the $1 thing if someone clicks the google or firefox ads and downloads firefox or gets an adsense acount?

[Jerlene]

I actually do make money off of the referrals. It was crazy in the beginning but has been slowing down recently. I've made a few bucks from referrals though. Mostly FireFox.

Never had luck with them, they are dead for me, that's why I reduced them to only one Firefox referral ( which is useless too )

[Jerlene]

lol You should just replace that spot with a text link.

So far I have earned a grand total of nothing ($0). I don't know why it isn't working for me.

Not only for you, lots of webmasters say Google referrals don't make much, I even remember Darren Rowse the famous blogger and owner of ProBlogger Make Money Online with ProBlogger Blog Tips posting about how Google referrals yield poor revenue.

[Miss Miaow]

This is off topic: I like Darren Rowse, he's actually my favorite pro-blogger.

I'm thinking of removing the firefox referrals. Should I?

[M Nabil]

Depends on how much they make you and if they can be replaced by ad units that will perform better or not.

[Jerlene]

If you don't make anything then yes, remove them. Replace them with text links or something that will actually get you revenue.

[Miss Miaow]

You're right Jerlene. I'll replace them with text links and see if I earn something.

[Jerlene]

Link Sales. Sell these text links. You could make money very easily.

its just waste of time and space

It depends on how you promote them and what sites you promote them on.

With the Google Adsense referrals, how many referrals have you had before you got your first $5 earnings for the active referral?
