Google AdSense has quietly added a new term to all AdSense referrals generated by a publisher. They have now instituted a 90-day time limit on that referral, meaning a referred publisher must earn the $100 within the first 90 days, before the referring publisher is eligible to earn that $100 for a completed AdSense referral.
When generated the AdSense referral code, above the buttons shows:
When a publisher that signed up for AdSense through your referral earns their initial $100.00 and is eligible for payout, we'll credit your account with $100.00*
Note the asterisk at the end. And at the bottom where the asterisk references:
* An AdSense referral is counted when a publisher, who has never previously enrolled in AdSense, creates an account and earns at least $100.00 within 90 days of sign-up. The referred publisher must be eligible for payment to qualify as a successful referral.
No one seems to recall that "within 90 days" clause added. And frankly, neither do I.
It is also worth noting that NONE of the AdSense support documents for AdSense referrals include this 90 days either.
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I SAY Google Down Down |
