Does Google still offer affiliate programs for its products?
Since Adsense, Adwords, or other Google product referrals are now retiring at the end of August, will Google continue to offer these referral programs in other alternative forms? I signed up and became a member of Google Affiliate Network. However, I cannot locate their own referral programs in their own affiliate network. Did I overlook? Please, tell me I did. I have a website that recommends using Adsense, Adwords, and Google Knol. So in other words, I can’t make money from my recommendations? Please someone tell me Google affiliate programs are still available somehow. Thanks. I’d greatly appreciate your help.
Google is leveraging their acquision of DoubleClick to provide affiliate programs. From the AdSense team:
As part of the integration of DoubleClick, the DoubleClick Performics Affiliate Network will now operate as the Google Affiliate Network for advertisers targeting users located in the United States. Similar to the AdSense Referrals program, the Google Affiliate Network enables publishers to apply for advertiser programs and get paid based on advertiser-defined actions instead of clicks or impressions.
