Google referrals - firefox, adwords, etc.

[hugegrowth]

Is anyone getting good conversions on the Google referral part of the Adsense program? I mean getting commissions for firefox downloads, and referrals to the Adwords or Adsense programs?

I am doing very poorly in this area and was wondering if anyone had any tips on boosting conversions for referrals - what banner size to use, placement on page, etc. I was thinking maybe people avoid downloading firefox for fear of viruses. Thanks in advance for any help!

I haven't tried the firefox downloads, only Adsense. With the adsense referrals, it takes longer b/c they have to earn $100 before you're credited with $100..you probably know that though..maybe you're getting good conversions but no one's hit $100 yet? Usually people signing up for adsense through affiliate links, instead of direct to adsense, are new to the development world, they're not pro webmasters who can pull in $100 a day or week or even month with their site(s) as quickly. So it just takes longer..and they have to earn $100 within 6 months or it won't count.

They seem to perform the best on affiliate sites, make money online, home business, or webmaster type of sites.
