Thinking Outside the Ad Unit - Refer users to new products to generate more revenue

Refer users to new products to generate more revenue

Referrals is a feature of AdSense that allows you to increase your revenue while increasing your users' awareness of useful products and services. By adding a referral button to your site, you can direct users to products like AdSense, AdWords, and Firefox with Google Toolbar. When your referral connects a user to one of our referral products, you can generate more earnings while helping new web publishers improve their internet experience.

Our step-by-step instructions make it easy to add a referral to your site in minutes. We offer a number of text links and button designs, so you may wish to try out a few to see which performs best on your site. Our policies allow you to place one referral button per product, for up to four products total, on any given page. Note that the referral products available to you may vary depending on your location or language - you can find a full list of the referral products available for you by visiting the AdSense Setup tab and choosing Referrals as the product.

Tip for successful referrals: Take advantage of the wide variety of referral formats and products to best serve your site's unique visitors. For example, if you have photo sharing pages, a Picasa referral unit may work best on your site.
