Genuine Online Opportunities

Every publisher wants to sell their ad spots at maximum price. But many of them are not able to set the right prices for their ad inventory. And hence they may lose on profits either by setting low prices or by repelling advertisers by setting too high prices. Similarly advertisers are looking for the best targeted ad spots to place their ads at a fair price. To bridge the gap between advertisers and publishers, ad networks are born.

Aductions is one such advertising network with some uniqueness in their system. Aductions connect advertisers to publishers through a search engine and allows them to trade in a transparent way. When it comes to advertising networks, transparency is one factor that is lacking in many ad networks. Aductions claims to be one of the unique ad networks with opportunity, transparency and fairness in their system.

AdSense Management made some logical modifications to their previously announced changes in their referral program. A few days back AdSense made changes to their referral program. The changes were illogical. After considering feedback from publishers, the following modifications are done. (Quoted directly from the announcement)

AdSense Referral Program:
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.

Google Pack Referral Program:
Currently, you can earn up to $2 when a user downloads and runs Google Pack for the first time after being referred through your link or button. Starting the third week of February, each successful Pack referral will earn up to $1. This change will apply to all referrals for Google Pack and is independent of user location or publisher location.

Firefox Referral Program:
We’ll also be reducing payments for Firefox referrals from China during the third week of February. This specific referral payment change will only affect installations from users in China. Again, this is independent of your location as a publisher.

Well these modifications definitely make some sense. Although, the earnings from referral will decrease, the changes are logical considering the previous announcement.

Google Adsense is doing some real stupid changes to their Adsense referral program. They have announced on their blog that the Adsense referrals program is changing. Let me tell you, it is changing for the worst for publishers outside America and Japan.

-If you’re outside of North America, Latin America, and Japan, Adsense referrals will be retired.

For publishers not located in any of the three regions detailed above, we’ll soon be retiring referrals promoting Adsense. We’ve found that this referral product has not performed as well as we had hoped in these regions. Again, please keep in mind that you can still generate referrals for the other products listed under the ‘Referrals’ section of your Adsense Setup

This means if you are a publisher outside of the Americas and Japan, the Adsense referral program will be closed for you. The reason they give for this is that referral product has not performed well outside Americas and Japan.

There is not much good news either for publishers from North America, Latin America, or Japan. They got the slap too.
