In the past, you received $100 if a publisher you introduced to AdSense earned $100 in ad revenues. As it can take a while for publishers to figure out how to get the most out of AdSense (especially if they aren't using my strategies), that left a lot of referrers waiting a long time for their commissions -- and often not getting anything at all.
Under the new system though, you get $5 right away for every sign-up... and an additional $250 when the publisher you refers earns $100.
That's a huge difference. It's big enough for you to give those referral spots on your page another look. That's especially true if you're creating content aimed in any way at other publishers. So if you write about Web design or programming or blogging, then placing a referral button now should be a no-brainer. Sign up just four publishers a month -- and help them to improve their AdSense earnings -- and you'd increase your revenues by over a thousand bucks a month.
You want to make sure that the place you put your referral button doesn't bring down your AdSense earnings by more than the amount you'll earn from the referrals. But if you can pick the right places on the right pages, that little change from Google could make a big change to your revenues.
