Well as Google has announced previously in their blog that all the referral program outside North America, Latin America, and Japan will be closed for the publishers. Because of this many bloggers were disappointed and why not because this changes were never logical. Due to so many feedbacks by publisher they made some changes which would be consider as logical changes.
The New Changes Are As Follows:
AdSense Referral Program:
The changes to referrals promoting AdSense will now depend on where your users are located, regardless of your location as a publisher. You’ll earn $100 for every user you refer to AdSense who is located in North America, Latin America or Japan when they generate $100 in AdSense revenue within 180 days and they remove all payment holds. You’ll no longer be paid for users you refer who are located elsewhere. These changes will go into effect the last week of January.
Google Pack Referral Program:
Currently, you can earn up to $2 when a user downloads and runs Google Pack for the first time after being referred through your link or button. Starting the third week of February, each successful Pack referral will earn up to $1. This change will apply to all referrals for Google Pack and is independent of user location or publisher location.
Firefox Referral Program:
We’ll also be reducing payments for Firefox referrals from China during the third week of February. This specific referral payment change will only affect installations from users in China. Again, this is independent of your location as a publisher.
Well all this changes according to me can be consider logical then the previous changes and people would satisfy it. Of course the earning would decrease considerably but this changes make some sense.
