Google is now offering to pay you for suggesting Firefox to other folks Online. Now that is a money making scheme that shouldn’t be too hard to profit from. Google has started a new program that allows AdSense publishers to gain fees for referring users to the Google mother ship.

So what does the small print have to say about all of this? If a referral signs up for Google AdSense and earns $100, Google will credit publishers with a US $100 referral fee. If a referral downloads and runs Firefox, publishers receive up to $1.

That sounds like a pretty sweet deal, right? I’ve been suggesting people check out both AdSense and Firefox for a long time now. The benefit of being paid for doing what I would normally do for free makes me very happy. The catch with the Firefox download is that it will be downloaded with the Google Toolbar already installed. Hey, it’s a nice toolbar and even if you don’t like it. It is easy enough to remove.

So go ahead and make some money doing something you’d already be doing for fun.
