I don't think this is anything about to earn great money, but I will continue to make the FireFox referal explores on my website as a smart Internet user.
I think it's time to replace the Firefox referrals with something more useful!
They might work for some sites, but not for mine.
1) Techie users already have it, so it wont work on Tech sites and...
2) Everybody else isn't going to go to widgets.com looking for widget information and say "Oh yeah, let me download a new browser while I'm at it."
Good point hunderdown, but they did that at the expensive of not paying the publishers for it.
Ha ha, that's funny. They didn't pay for it, so to them it wasn't an expense. It was at the expense of the publishers!
I'm still boggled as to why they are promoting FF so much though - I mean, they didn't buy that item, right? So, what are they gaining by having other people use that browser. It's almost as though they're doing it just to spite Internet Explorer.

I think they just hate Microsoft. :P
How do we know that Firefox didn't pay Google for the impressions?
Google has been doing more and more shady things lately, including opting me in without notice for their "advertise on this site" campaign, and penalizing my whole account without notice.
We can't track what programs a visitor installs after they leave our sites, so on top of getting paid for impressions, they could have easily skewed the conversion reports also.
Do you want there is only brand of car to drive, or only one brand of shop to buy your stuffs?

No, but just because I hate Ford doesn't mean I'm going to start paying people to buy Nissans.
That is not the case, adding the Firefox button doesn't necessarily affect your ads space for other ads, that is a matter whether you are willing to make it.... there is no hate nor offense to anything, but an attitude and sight to have.
And.. the alternative is IE, where the default home page is MSN network and the default search is MSN search... every IE user is another eyeball for MSN that might not go to Google.
It is pretty obvious why Google would want everyone to switch to FF...

I don't think you understood my post.
Google wants more people to use FF because Google is the default home page for FF, and FF has a little google search bar on it. So, FF drives traffic to Google.
Aha, completely forgot about that since I always alter my home page when I download any browser...
That seems have a significant growth, probably I would find something like 30% Firefox users visiting my site by the end of 2006.
They just want to make more money........ It's that simple.
Of course they may hate Microsoft or then again they might feel they can simply do a far better job than MS can - thus making money. Either way, it's about money.
It's a competitive suck this kinda thing...
