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.

Google Adsense
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.
