You can earn up to $10 for each approved, verified referral you submit. This includes $2 when a business referral is approved by Google; and $8 when an approved business verifies that the information you submitted is accurate. Referrals are approved by Google based on the completeness and quality of data supplied by representatives. Businesses verify their information either by sending us a response postcard or verifying their information online.

Of course us in the uk can’t sign up :( 

I think you could do at least 100 to 200 a day : )  

Maybe soon !

Last week we had a massive buzz about ebay pulling its ads from google adwords..

Well it would seem that the ads are back on..

Of course not all webmaster/marketers are happy with them being back as the number of ad space take is massive..

Many reports say that the ads are back but not like before..

You used to be able to type things like “black men” and a ad used to come up saying “black men for sale” and stuff like that.. So is this the end of the studip ebay ads ?
