Google to shutdown google referel at end of august 2008

For publishers who are participating in the AdSense Referrals program, folks at Google AdSense has just sent an email notifying publishers that the program will be shut down effectively on the last week of August.

I believe the main reason why adsense Referrals progaram is shutting down is because it’s not performing as good as the measured and it’s best that the team place their effort on the more successful product. If you are using these referral ads, you should take them down, at least before the end of August 2008 as they’ll be no more ads after then.

Here’s Google’s suggestion for referral ads publishers:

• Google Affliate network
• Google AdSense
