노하우에 쓰기는 뭣하지만 어쨓든 .. 구글 애드센스 블로그에 가입해뒀더니 새로 포스팅된 글 하나가 배달되었다.

(영어로 된  전문은 아래에서..)

대략 내용은 이러하다.

1월 마지막주를 기점으로 북미, 남미, 일본을 제외한 지역에서 지금 이루어지는 구글 애드센스 추천 광고를 없애겠다. 북미, 남미, 일본은 다른거 다 없애고, 180일이내에 100달러 벌면 100달러 주는 이전 방식(?)으로 간다. 그 외 지역은 구글 애드센스 추천광고 자체를 없애겠다.

1년간 실험해봤는데, 기대에 못 미쳐서..
원래대로 복귀한다.

뭐 여기저기서 난리가 났습니다. 호주 파워블로거 아저씨 화가 머리끝까지 나셨다 그러고..
국내에서도 반향이 점차 커지는 것 같습니다.

다른 광고보다 추천 광고가 수익에 많은 영향을 주는 걸로 알려졌었는데..
흠.. 이 블로그 시작하면서 이것 저것 실험한다고 추천 광고 붙여놨는데..
내려야 되나 봅니다.;;;

뭐, 딱히 시작한지 얼마안되 추천을 받아본적이 없어..
마음에 오는 뭔가는 없습니다만.. 구글 제대로 욕먹겠네요.

어쨓든.. 조만간 추천광고 배너도 사라진다 그러니..
다른 광고로 대체하시거나 기존 코드 지우시기 바랍니다.

아, 구글 애드센스 추천광고만 영향 받을 뿐 나머지는 상관없다네요..;
그리고 1월말 지나면, 기존에 추천 가입했던 사람이 수익을 발생시켜도 돈 못 받는답니다.
참고하세요..;;

P.S. 개인적으로는 중국 블로거들이 이걸 어떻게 받아들일지 대단히 궁금하네요..

From: Inside AdSense Team 

Are you currently displaying a referral unit for AdSense on your

website? Then read on, because there are some upcoming changes to the

referral program that you should be aware of. But first let me clarify

that only referral units promoting AdSense will be affected by this

change; referrals to other products and services remain unaffected at

this time. This change to referrals promoting AdSense will differ

depending on your location, regardless of where your users are

located.- If you're in North America, Latin America, or Japan, the

pricing structure for AdSense referrals is changing.About a year ago,

as an experiment, we changed the pricing structure for AdSense

referrals so that when a user you referred to the program earned $5

within 180 days of sign-up, you would also earn $5. When that publisher

earned $100 within 180 days and removed all payment holds, you'd

receive $250. We have decided to conclude this experiment and return to

the original pricing structure. As a result, we'll soon no longer be

offering the $5 bonus or $2000 bonus, and the payout for referring a

user who generates $100 with AdSense in the first 180 days will return

to $100.These pricing changes will take place during the last week of

January. A referred user who reaches $100 within 180 days of signing up

and who removes all payments holds before the change occurs will

generate earnings of $250 for the referring publisher. Any referred

user who meets this conversion criteria after the change occurs will

only generate $100 in earnings for the referring publisher. In

addition, the $5 bonus will be removed at that time. Please note that

the date a user was referred will only affect where the 180-day window

is set but not necessarily the payout the referring publisher receives.

For example, it's possible that a user referred in early January will

meet the conversion criteria before a user referred in early November,

and so the resulting payout may differ.- If you're outside of North

America, Latin America, and Japan, AdSense referrals will be

retired.For publishers not located in any of the three regions detailed

above, we'll soon be retiring referrals promoting AdSense. We've found

that this referral product has not performed as well as we had hoped in

these regions. Again, please keep in mind that you can still generate

referrals for the other products listed under the 'Referrals' section

of your AdSense Setup tab.Soon, you'll no longer see the option to

create a referral button for AdSense in your account, although existing

buttons will display as normal. This specific referral type will then

be retired during the last week of January - any users who meet the

conversion criteria (reaching $100 in earnings within 180 days of

sign-up and removing all payment holds) before the change will generate

earnings of $250 for the referring publishers. Any conversions which

occur after this change is made will not be recorded in your account.

You may wish to begin replacing any existing referrals promoting

AdSense with referrals for another product or an AdSense for content

unit.We appreciate your support of this referral product, and hope it

won't cause you any inconvenience.Posted by Talia Brodecki - AdSense
