Eric Giguere is talking about the change from 90 days to 180 days for AdSense referrals (see AdSense Deferrals)

Well, maybe it helps. Call me cynical, but for me this is just a deferral of non-income.

You know what he’s right. If i had a say over at the Googleplex (clearly something that’s not going to happen anytime soon), I’d give the people signing up a way to get in touch with the people they signed up through. This would allow that person to act as a mentor and help the other person reach their goal. The new AdSense publisher wins because they make money, the referring person wins because they get a referral bonus, and Google wins because they are making more money via AdSense. Concerned about privacy, make it an opt in for the referrer and the referee. Just my two drachmas.
