Google AdSense Referrals Adds Bonus Up To $2,000

Google has announced some changes to its AdSense referral program, giving publishers the option of payouts up to a $2,000 bonus. The old fee structure paid out $100 if a publisher you referred earned $100 in the first 180 days, while the new fee structure is a bit more complicated, but far more lucrative:

If the referred publisher doesn’t earn $100 in the first 180 days, don’t worry about it. For every $5 they earn, up to the $100 level, you will earn $5. See, it’s pretty hard for a brand new publisher to earn $100 in the beginning, so the new structure lets you earn money off new publishers and big publishers alike.
If the publisher reaches $100 in the first 180 days, you get an extra $250.
If, in the first 180 days, you refer 25 publishers, all of whom reach $100, you get an additional $2,000 bonus […]
