Google Referral Programs

Yes, Google has a referral program for its advertising programs and other services. Following are the details.

Adsense

When a publisher who signed up for Google AdSense through your referral earns $5.00 within 180 days of sign-up, you will be credited with $5.00.

If, in any 180 day period, you refer 25 publishers who each earn more than $100.00 and are all eligible for payout, you will be awarded a $2,000.00 bonus.

Google Pay-Per-Click vs Pay-Per-Action

Its a really big news. Google's PPA is in Beta testing stage now and may soon be available to all the AdWords & Adsense advertisers. Pay-per-action advertising is a new pricing model that allows advertisers to pay only when specific actions that they define are completed by a user on their site, rather than paying for clicks or impressions, advertisers can choose to pay when a user makes a purchase, signs up for a newsletter, or completes any other clearly defined action that they choose.

Pay-per-action ads would show up on publisher sites in the Google content network, and publishers can choose specific pay-per-action ads that are relevant to their site to run in new ad units that they create.

This is definitely going to change the way advertising has been going on over the net. Well, advantages and disadvantages of this policy as of now are anybody's guess. You can visit http://services.google.com/payperaction/FAQ for more details.

Your comments on advantages and dis-advantages of this system are welcome.

What is Google Analytics?

Google Analytics is a free service by Google. It tells you everything you want to know about how your visitors found your site and how they interact with your site. Its aim is to enable webmasters to optimise revenue from their website or AdWords campaigns by knowing where the customers come from, how they got there, how long they stayed on the site etc etc.

Google Analytics tracks all of your referrals, ads, search engines, email promotion, and even offline initiatives. If you have a website of your own, then you will have to insert only few lines of code into your web pages(insert code in all pages that you want to be tracked). The graphic interface for your 'site reports' is really user friendly and highly informative. There are about 80 reports generated for your tracked pages. You can find more about Google Analytics here.
