Hello there guys. Another post for the newcomers.
You just entered the money earning world. You doing some PTCs and earn some pennies everyday. You do the math and you see that if you get referrals you'll make the triple or even more. So here some ways to get referrals.
1) Banners: I am sure that you try traffic exchangers. If you don't then sign up at easyhits4u.com (not a referral link). Surf there and make your credits to banner impressions. Show your referral banners at the site. The good thing with the banners is that if someone clicks them, then you have a 80% of having him a referral. Why? Because he was really interested on your banner and that's why he/she clicked it.
2) Blog it: You see it every day. People making free accounts at blogspot.com and advertising their referral links and banners. Now don't just do that. Care about your readers. Do some research and make some "Scam" and "Trusted" lists. Post proofs of what you got paid (even if it is pennies).

3) Referral Deals:[/b] I must admit it. That way worked the best for me. That's because I am too lazy to surf for banner impressions and I do not like making a blog full of referral banners. So what are referral deals?
You tell people to be your referrals and that you will give them a commission. For example: I will give you $"X" (X = an amount of $ you choose) for every "Y" clicks you make as my referral (Y = an amount of clicks you want people to do in order to pay them) I usually give back 90% of what referrals generate me. So if I get $0.01 per referral click, I give them back 0.009 for one click.
You get less compared to the other ways, but people WANT to be your referral.
Some nice forums to post your referral deals are the following: (Not referral links)

http://ptc-forums.info
http://www.ptcsquad.com/forum
http://gametz.com/forum/Referrals/
http://www.talkptc.com
http://forum.genuine-ptcs.com
WARNING: There are certain rules at this forums (for example you can bump only if 24 hours have passed after your last bump) NE SURE YOU FOLLOW ALL THE RULES.
4) Be member of communities: You can register at the above forums and to other much more. Be an active member and become a trustful member. Make friends.
DO NOT BE A SPAMMER. Do not make topics with your referral links saying "omg you gonna be a gazillionare with this PTC"
Why? Imagine walking at the street and someone stops you saying: "Hey if you follow me and be a part of this business you gonna make a fortune dude! Seriously!" Are you going to follow him? No. Are people going to click your links? No. Are they gonna disrespect you and have a pretty good reason to do so? Yes.
Put a referral link at your signature. Every time you post something people will see it. If you become a trustful guy, then they will click it.
5) The Ultimate Combination:
This way is the most elite for me. It combines everything mentioned above. Let's see:
A) Make a blog as mentioned at 2)
B) Make a banner for your blog. There are many free banner makers online. Put some catchy phrases. DO NOT LIE. Advertise your banner as mentioned at 1)
C) Put referral deals at your blog. Tell people to contact you with their PayPal address and their PTC user-name in order to track them and pay them when needed.
D) Do as mentioned at 4 and have as signature the link to your blog.
Hope I helped.
Happy Earnings

You and @workingmom are awesome, guys!
Thanks for the good review. Can I ask you something?
I have a blog (in Blogger) and I want to put a counter , I want to see how many visitors are there, but I don't know how to install a counter. Could you, please help me (if you can)?

Well... this two sites are not working for me, or maybe I don't put the code in the right place.

You can also try this(not a referral link): http://extremetracking.com. It's not so easy as the link provided by valkerion - but it provides a lot more info like: where the referral came from(site or search engine), number of visits/day/week/month, the most used keywords used to reach your site and much much more.

Get the code and make a new HTML widget and paste the code there.

Wow! This is great! There is so much information... so of which I already knew and some i didn't. I had to idea about making a referral deal at all but I am thinking about making a blog. I've just been so busy lately. I think it would be great to have that because I don't want to send viewers to my mylot profile. I think I would be too scared and confused to do a referral deal though. Thanks for the great information!

I guess there are other ways to get refferals more effectively...Blogging is good, but when you're using traffic exchange never forget to use splash page..And you can get refferals for free or not..there are sites that offer you that kind of deal, but it's never a guarantee that your refferals will be active.

Wow! That's a really describing discussion! Thanks for giving us tips, how to get some referrals! It is really hard nowadays to get some to the most-known sites that are paying (f.e. to Neobux, or Palmbux, etc.)!
Have a nice day!
