Google likes to offer bounties. There’s one for AdSense and AdWords, Google’s ad features, and $1 for every new Firefox browser with embedded Google Toolbar user.

Now Web site operators have incentives from Google to refer Internet wanderers to Google Pack, a bundle of downloadable software programs, and Picasa, Google’s photo organizer.

Google now pays $2 for every one Google Pack referral and $1 for every Picasa. Referrals are accomplished through a Web “referral button.”

It’s $20 for each AdWords referral that spends $100 on the feature, and $100 for every AdSense referral that spends $100 on AdSense.
