Making Money with Google and Mozilla Firefox

Google recently posted this interesting article about new and improved referrals resources for those trying to make money by refering visitors to Firefox (a browser I personally love and reccomend to all my visitors) but it really seems like a kind of bait and catch.

While I personally love Google and have nothing but good comments to say about Adsense I'm just so paranoid about having my whole account closed down for letting myself type in "Click on this Link" above a referral button despite the fact they say we now can. I want to... but their general rules are so strict I'm not sure I will.

I'm curious as to what everyone else thinks about this new policy. Anyone else as paranoid as me?

Hubby said...: Yeah - I was paranoid also. It wasn't until I had a followup discussion (after they posted our website as a "success story") with the Google Marketing team when they specifically told me this was allowed under the new rules, that I was brave enough to do it myself. They also pointed out to me that these aren't "new" rules that allow publishers to say "click here" on your referrals, it was just a "clarification" ..
After-all, it makes sense - the FireFox (and other) referrals are PPA (pay per Action) not PPC (Pay Per Click) so it is to everyone's advantage, Google included, to endorse your referrals.
