If you haven't added AdSense to your web site you are missing out on a great little money earner. The AdSense program is continually adding new features - the latest is a batch of referral links, where you can make $100 by referring someone to the AdSense program. You get the $100 when the person you referred makes $100 from AdSense advertising.
This is very clever of Google, for several reasons. The referral program probably costs Google nothing up front. The marketing rumour mill suggests that for every dollar you make with AdSense, Google probably makes about the same. So getting that referral costs Google nothing up front, you get $100 for making that referral, and the person you referred is happy. No one loses, everyone gains. Don't they? Discuss.
I cannot show you a Google referral button in this post. I tried clicking "Edit HTML" and pasting a button in, but on publishing was confronted with the error report: "Your HTML cannot be accepted: Tag is not allowed...".
Like all Google ads, the referrel link is powered by javascript.
You can see a working referral button in the left margin of the following page:

It's the one with the green tick on a white background. I don't like this button. It's very plain. Surely it could have some more text and less white space? A Google logo? Maybe fireworks today? Discuss.
