Show Firefox Referral Button to Non Firefox users Only

It is absolutely foolish thing to show Firefox referral button to Firefox user. So I wonderer whether it is possible to use Firefox referral button to show only non-Firefox users. Then came across LiewCF, which gave me the solution of this

Well method is very simple and can be used by non-techies publisher also. Use the following simple php code to show the Firefox button to non-Firefox users only.

Refer this for method

PHP:

1. <?php if ( !strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], 'Gecko') ) { ?>

2. <!-- PASTE YOUR GOOGLE ADSENSE FIREFOX REFERRAL CODE HERE -->

3. <?php } ?>

Isn't it simple?

Google Manages Your Clicks on Sponsored Links

Now you can search and manage all the sponsored links you've clicked on Google's search results pages. Google Search History added a new section for Google ads, in the growing list of services available in this interface. This might be useful if you want to buy something, but you want to check other sites before actually ordering the product: you come back to the search history and have the links there.

Google also has a search engine that only shows sponsored links. Just in case you get bored with the actual search results.
