Whereas earlier, we use to make $5 if the AdSense publisher if referred made $5 in 180 days, along if that publisher makes about $100 with 180 days, you would receive $250 and in case you referred 25 people that generates $100 within 180 days, you were eligible for a bonus of $2,000.

No Commission for publisher outside North America, Latin America, or Japan - Google will no more pay commission to the affiliate that refer publisher to register with AdSense, if that affiliate is based outside North America, Latin America or Japan.  However, this would impact the AdSense referral product and does not impact the referral products of AdWords, Checkout and others.
