This decision was made on 8th January 2008, and since then, there are so much echos and complaining voices over this. (If I wasn't busying with my normal work, I would also write Google an complain letter on this.) As a result of this, Google has announced another new referral payment structure on Adsense program. But...
"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."
This seems to be a good news, right? I don't think so. That's because Google, on the other hand, announce another payment structure on Firefox and Pack. Check this out:
"- Google Pack: 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: 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. "
At the end, Google still claims that " While it's our goal to help publishers earn as much as possible with the AdSense program, like any other referrals advertiser, we’re constantly evaluating our campaigns to make them effective and sustainable." Come on, Google, you are now taking money away from my Adsense account!! Will Google change its decision again? We'll see.
