firefox just $0,25 ? also info about the way Google handles

davidvd · 02-26-2006, 04:24 AM

Hello,

I just started a couple days ago with adsense and my stats show two visitors who download the browser. But Google pays only 0,25 usd, and I thought it was 1 usd per download...I'm from Belgium maybe there is a differents between my country and others?

Google also mention that a visitor who allready have Firefox installed before don't get paid. How does Google check this? They only download an exe file. And if they have a previous installation the data is deleted when they used uninstall?

thanks in advance

David

You're lucky people even download firefox from your site.

I have no luck that's why I removed it.

There is this thing called the registry and those entries sometimes don't get removed completely. But hey, you can scam Google out of money if you want, but if you are already running the Firefox browser, then it will see that by the User-Agent.

The firefox ad does change in price depending on the country it is downloaded not where you are...It states that right under adsense where you get the code for the firefox button...brbrI live in the united states, I've had people download it from the united states and when they do I get a dollar...I have had people download it from other places and I've never gotten a dollar from one of them.br

mystickcal is correct. The most you can earn from a Firefox install is $1. Depending on the user's location, it can be much less.
