Adwords Affiliate Program

Is there such a thing

I run a website that offers Internet based services. The website attracts people who may be looking for information on PPC and related subjects.

I do not want to add adsense to my website - what I am looking for is a tracking URL or something similar whereby Google pay a percentage for each referal that converts.

I have found that overture offer this, but cannot find anything relating to Google adwords.

Does anyone know of such a scheme?

Total:

I'm pretty sure I've seen AdWords advertising on a few sites, not sure if there's an affiliate thing for it or not though. Try Commission Junction, I think they may have it.

Thanks BriGuy.

Had a quick look through CJ. Cannot see anything there.

One would think this would be direct through Google, as Overture have a sign up within their own website for this.

I had a good look around but failed to find anything at all.

nothing yet.

however have heard rumours from a reliable source that this is something Google is working on, especially for adsense publishers.

Sometimes I think Shak is more wired-in than I am. And I'm here 12 hours a day!

(How does he do it?!)

OK Shak.

Thanks for the info.

Would be great to hear about it if this does ever get off the ground. I guess it will be well publicised when/if it happens.

AWA, it would be really nice if Google did something like this. I run a number of campaigns who's totals are approaching 20K per month. I forsee me hitting the other side of 30-50K by the end of the year. The campaigns are 100% a result of my selling my services and wouldn't exist without me. And yet I get no overall recognition because the campaigns are all in the individual owner's name.

I don't care about commission or affiliate status. I'd just like to get whatever perks are available to individual campaigns that spend that kind of money each month.

I don't know what other SEM's do, most seem more plugged in than I am. I have mentioned this to Google staff but have been told there's nothing for me.

(nevertheless, Google staff are still amazing. It's the only company that busy and that size I've ever dealt with that have intelligent, pleasant, and responsive customer service people).

Point well taken, wheel, and I'll pass your feedback on this evening in the summary of Advertiser Feedback which I forward to dozens of folks here at AdWords each week.

Many thanks, also, for the kind words on our customer support. What you describe is exactly what we aim for - so your comment was a very nice thing to see towards the end of the day!
