What You Should Know About the Google Referral Program I love Google Adsense and tell other website owners about it often. It sure would be nice to get paid for those referrals. Now you can. Google has launched a "by invitation only" Affiliate Program that pays out 20.00 for new advertisers once they spend 20.00 with Adwords or 20.00 for new publishers who sign up after they earn 75.00 with Adsense.
