Google Affiliate Network offers Consolidated Payment with Google Adsense

When Google Adsene retired “Adsense for Referrals” back in July 2008, I never realized that Google has provided another alternate of making money via Google Affiliate Network (GAN). Now that Google Affiliate Network (GAN) has recently announced that payment to Google Affiliate Network Publishers will now be made through AdSense to offer publishers a wider range of payment options. Publishers can also manage their payment information in new ways and enjoy consolidated payments from Google if they use other Google products.

I think this is a great news to Google Adsense Publishers to get a one window payments for their affiliate and pay per click (ppc) income through Google Affiliate Network and Google Adsense Program. If you are using Google Adsense then you must not wait to join Google Affiliate Network (GAN).

Here is a brief Intro of Google Affiliate Network (GAN): -
