Barry Schwartz has reported about a DigitalPoint Forums thread where an AdSense publisher has got $1,233.46 deducted from his account due to invalid clicks. The mail from the AdSense team is as follows:
Hello Ryan,
Thank you for your email.
Google AdSense blog informs that a referral to Google Apps can earn you $5. However, it seems to be restricted for US users alone.
Instructions given on AdSense blog:
Just visit the AdSense Setup tab in your AdSense account and click the link for Referrals. Select the Google Apps option and then choose how you want the referral ad to look on your site. (The Google Apps referral ads are available in English right now, but we'll be adding more languages soon.) Copy the code provided into the design of your web pages, and voila!

There is a thread at Webmasterworld where some members doing som reverse engineering on Google AdSense source codes. A member noticed many variables that were being passed to Google from the AdSense iframe. A sample of them are:
Google has introduced new pricing structures for both AdSense and AdWords. As per Adsense, you could previously earn $100 when your referred publisher earned his first $100 within 180 days. The new system on the other hand rewards $5 when your referred publisher earned only $5 in 180 days. However, the second tier earning is a cool $250. You get this commission when the referred publisher earns $100.
