Google has recently announced a Referral Program for its targeted ad delivery system - Google Adsense. Webmasters can now earn an extra $100 for each new referral they deliver to Google Adsense, one condition - that referral must earn at least $100 from the Adsense Program.
Webmasters can also receive $1 for each download of the Firefox browser with the Google Toolbar. Generally, very good news for webmasters and content creators working the Adsense program.

One simple way to find the top paying keywords is to use a site like overture.com to find out what advertisers are willing to pay for certain keywords. Just use common sense - higher priced items will have usually pay the most. Web hosting vs a toothbrush. Once they have chosen their keywords, webmasters must create content rich pages or sites related to these
