Explorer Destroyer helps you make money with Firefox

ExplorerDestroyer.com is helping people make more money with the Google Firefox Affiliate Program by offering a script that detects users browser.

The campaign, called Explorer Destroyer, takes advantage of a new program by Google to pay users $1 for each referral to Firefox made through Google Toolbar, according to the group’s Web site (http://www.explorerdestroyer.com).

“You already want people to switch to Firefox. Now’s the time to get serious about it,” according to the site. “Google is paying $1 for each new Firefox user you refer. … Now you can advance your ideals, save people from popups and spyware hell, and make some serious money.”

According the Explorer Destroyer Web site, the group offers Web-site owners scripting technology that will detect if a visitor is running IE. If so, an alert will appear directing them to download Firefox either to view the site better or at all. Whenever a visitor to a Web site using the group’s technology switches to Firefox from IE, the owner of the Web site will get the referral fee if they have signed up for Google’s AdSense program.

    Explorer Destroyer is a scam, it exists only to generate AdSense referrals.

    Evidence to support it’s nothing more than a scam includes
    - In November 2005 Google announced AdSense and Firefox referrals. The *very* next day Explorer Destroyer came into being.
    - The site has not been updated since that time
    - The site neglected to mention for the first few months that only US AdSense customers were eligible for Firefox referrals
