Google's one-month-old announcement that it would reduce the price of Firefox referrals from mainland China appears to have been implemented, and the extent of the price reductions is surprising.
The Firefox referral works by: When the website is introduced to use Firefox with Google Toolbar for the first time, the webmaster can get a certain amount of revenue, depending on the location of the user. The referral object should be for Windows users who have never installed Firefox before they can get that revenue.
At present, the price of Firefox referral and Picasa promotion is reduced to 0.01 U.S. dollars for each Chinese mainland, while the previous price is 10 times times lower for each conversion of 0.1 U.S. dollars. By contrast, American users still have a conversion price of $1 trillion, and the price difference between China and the United States is now as high as 100 times times.
According to analysis, Google to reduce the price of China's region is likely because of these regional promotion is not good, Google does not want to continue to spend the money, so simply drop its price to a very low price, to avoid its own losses.
Under the current pricing system, it is no longer interesting for Chinese users to make Firefox referrals because they are not making any money at all. It is better to put the Firefox promotion or the other ads.
Another news is that Google's YouTube has not been able to visit China again since yesterday.
