Google Adsense Referrals ends in the UK
NewDesignworld Press Release Center - 14th January 2008 - UK Release -
Google (We) are writing to share some important information with you about
referrals to the AdSense product. As part of ongoing efforts to
optimise revenue opportunities for our publishers, we're
constantly experimenting with new revenue-enhancing features as
well as tweaking those products already available to our
publishers. This is the case for referral units directing visitors
to sign up for AdSense. After experimenting with this programme
over the past year, we've concluded that there are other products
that are of higher value than this programme to publishers in your
region. As a result, referral units for the AdSense programme will
be retired in the coming weeks. Referrals to other products and
services remain unaffected.
If you're currently displaying referral units on your site
directing users to sign up for AdSense, read on below for details
about what to expect in the coming weeks.
In early January, the option to add referral units directing users
to the AdSense product will no longer appear in your account. You
will continue to accrue earnings for all existing referrals yet to
generate $100 until late January, at which point the programme
will be fully retired. Existing referral units will continue to
appear on your pages.
By the end of January, you should remove all referral units
directing users to AdSense from your pages. Referral units that
you do not remove will continue to be displayed on your pages as
normal, but conversions will no longer be recorded. We suggest you
replace the AdSense referrals with referrals to another product or
service or an additional ad unit.
Thank you for referring users to AdSense in the past. We apologise
for any inconvenience this news may cause.
Yours sincerely,
The Google AdSense Team
