Google To Retire Their Adsense Referral Program
Google is going to retire their Google Adsense referral program during the last week of August. During that time, referral ads that featured Google products or offerings from Adwords advertisers will no longer display any ads.
Although the referral programs is not that lucrative as compared to other monetization programs, at the very least it is an additional source of revenue for some webmasters. While I did not actively promote this program, a quick check around find some webmasters making decent money off it.
I believe the reason Google canned the program as it is not giving the desired results that Google is hoping for. Many webmasters have in fact given up on the Google Adsense referral program even before news leaked out. I guess Google is not the only one to discover the referral program is not working at all.
