Do you ever think about paying for referrals?...

Lately I have been thinking about paying for referrals to certain programs. I think it really wouldn't be a bad idea depending on the benefits you get from a particular program. Sometimes the benefits and bonuses that you can gain from a particular program might just be worth paying for referrals. I am strongly considering doing this. I have one site that I might even pay 50 cent per sign-up for. It probably would be hard to find referrals tho because most of my programs are for U.S. only. Also I would really have to trust the person to do things completely if was going to pay them free money.

Most of the sites don't allow incentivised traffic. But paying for referrals is another thing. I heard the buying referral programs use bots. So, I wouldn't if this is exactly legal and worth it. They might join but being bots, I doubt if they'll do any work once they've joined.

I think what multimastery meant was, paying REAL people to sign up under him and be his referrals, not buying referrals from the site.

Naaaaaaa!! Its a waste!! if u are from india you might have a dynamic ip!! each time you restrt your modem your ip address changes!! you can register multiple number of times in the same site under the same referral!!! this way u get to maintain a large number of referrals all under your control

Ya bout you still have to work the site as your referrals so if you make 20 referrals you have to do the work for the 20.

Thanks for your offer ram, I really don't know of any good international programs at this time. By the way if you know of any good ones let me know as well.

Eh. There are much better things out there that you can spend your money on instead of wasting it all on referrals. Just my thoughts, though.
