With any "Get Paid To do something" program you'll need tons of active referrals to get anywhere.
Having referrals will increase your payouts dramatically. This is how the companies get more users and you get more money. You may have heard of this as a "pyramid scheme" and that's exactly what they are. The person who starts off on the top will earn the most, while the new users of the program come in on the bottom and earn the bare minimum each month. So with that, referrals are definitely necessary to survive in a programs.
- Ways To Get Referrals -
Friends - The best way to get more referrals is by telling your friends. If you tell them they could be making money while being online, most of them will jump on the idea. If you're like me though, it may be hard to explain to your friends that these programs really work. But getting friends to join under you should be easy. They are your friends, and thus you shouldn't have a hard time "tricking" them to join. Having active referrals is a must, and thus you can always contact your friends to make sure they are using the programs.
Family - Much like getting your friends to join under you, only your family will be even easier! I'm sure lil ol granny emailing her girlfriends would help you out by signing up.
Aggregaters - It's always wise to join one of these in order to boost yourself out to the world. When you join these programs you are spreading out your referral links to other aggregators. This is a useful way to join up with others online and share referral link to help each other get more money.
Signature Files - If you send out alot of email, you should put a signature file on the end of your emails. This way when others read your email, they may get curious and click on your link. This could range anywhere from the direct referral link, or a link to your home page which explains and lists the programs you are in.
Newsgroups/Egroups - Some newsgroups are dedicated to helping each other get referrals. You'd post your signup link and trade with other users, just a mass spamage of links here.
Websites - If you care to wonder onto my personal website you'll notice a collection of epinion reviews, and some links to "PTR" (paid to read) or "PTW" (Paid to write) sites. Having a website is a great way to refer friends or online buddies. Having a website strictly dedicated to these programs will allow you to get more referrals. You can also bring in some attention with banner ads as well.
Word Of Mouth - Although this is not highly used, using word of mouth works the best. Let's say you walk into CompUSA or Staples, give them your referral card if you can.
You could print on cards all your referral links and give to others just leaving them at stores, pass on to others waiting in line for something, or giving them out at any public place. Having someone refer you in person is much better than a simple banner ad on a website.
So why am I stressing about referrals? Like I've said these programs are designed to help those who spread the word and get referrals. You will not earn much writing here alone or doing other actions online (playing on prizee or doing searches)
So to incite users to spread the word, users with active referrals get paid more. Without the incentives to have referrals, no one would do it, and the company wouldn't as popular.
When trying to get referrals you should always read over the terms of service, and private policy. Sometimes it's against the rules to post referral links on search engines, or post them on message boards, etc. If you are found to be breaking the referral rules, your account will be deleted without question.
I hope all these advices could you help all of you getting referrals for myLot, prizee or slashmysearch sites or other PTR sites you are registered too!
Take a look in my discussions and register with my referrals of course =). Good luck to all!

You are right to stress on the importance of referrals. They are an important source of income, that is if you can get them...
A couple a days ago I found this site
http://trafficg.com/about.php?member=stvasile
Here you get credits for surfing their page, and with these credits you get visitors on your websites. You are the one setting what sites you want people to visit, and there you can input your referral links.
Nobody joined as my referral from tis site, but I've just begun...

Great advice. I could not agree anymore, referrals make life easier. However, it is not easy to get active referrals.
