No Firefox Referrals tab in Adsense Account

By adding a Google Adsense referral button to your site, you can direct users to products like AdSense and Firefox with Google Toolbar. When your referral connects a user to AdSense or Firefox, Google pays you a certain commission. You get $100 when each user you refer to Adsense first earns $100.

However, if you are a non-US publisher, you will not see the Firefox Referral buttons page in your Adsense account. The Firefox with Google Toolbar referrals program is open only to US Adsense publishers- Google pays $1 per referral the first time a user installs Firefox. For international publishers, the Firefox referral link would be missing.

To add a referral to your site, please follow these steps:

# Visit the Referrals tab
# Select the language you'll use for referrals from the drop-down menu.
# Select the sub-tab of the product you'd like to refer: AdSense or Firefox plus Google Toolbar. (Firefox sub-tab will not be available for non-US publishers)
# Choose the referral button you'd like to place on your site and copy the code from the box to the left of your selection.
# Paste the referral code into the HTML source code of your site.

Google could open Firefox with Google Toolbar referrals program to international publishers soon. Stay Tuned. [via]

How to Download Contacts from Facebook To Outlook Address Book

Facebook users are not too pleased with the "walled garden" approach of Facebook. The reason is simple - while you can easily import your Outlook address book and GMail contacts into Facebook, the reverse path is closed. There's no "official" way to export your Facebook friends email addresses or contact phone numbers out as a CSV file so that you can sync the contacts data with Outlook, GMail or your BlackBerry. Some third-party Facebook hacks like "Facebook Sync" (for Mac) and "Facebook Downloader" (for Windows) did allow you to download your Facebook friends' names, emails, mobile phone number and profile photo to the desktop but they were quickly removed for violation of Facebook Terms of Use. How to Download Contacts from Facebook There are still some options to take Friends data outside the walls of Facebook wall.

PhishTank Detects Phishing Websites by Digg Style Voting

OpenDNS, a free service that helps anyone surf the Internet faster with a simple DNS tweak , will announce PhishTank today. PhishTank is a free public database of phishing URLs where anyone can submit their phishes via email or through the website. The submissions are verified by the other community members who then vote for the suspected site. This is such a neat idea as sites can be categorized just based on user feedback without even having to manually verify each and every submission. PhishTank employs the "feedback loop" mechanism where users will be kept updated with the status' of the phish they submit either via email alerts or a personal RSS feed . Naturally, once the PhishTank databases grows, other sites can harness the data using open APIs which will remain free. OpenDNS would also use this data to improve their existing phishing detection algorithms which are already very impressive and efficient. PhishTank | PhishTank Blog [Thanks Allison] Related: Google
