Google AdWords referral program

Google Adsense launches AdWords referral program, I can see new option in my account. This is good news.

Google AdWords enables advertisers to create and display ads on Google.com and the Google content network, which includes Google AdSense publisher sites like yours. Advertisers can choose their target audience, set their budget, and see their ad almost instantly.

When a user signs up for Google AdWords through your referral and spends their first $100.00 in advertising, Google will credit your account with $20.00. According to Google, "A Google AdWords referral is counted when a publisher, who has never previously enrolled in Google AdWords, creates an account and spends at least $100.00 within 90 days of sign-up." You can see sample on this site just scroll down.

Update: Google Adsense blog has more info.
