serverph 0 Report post Posted October 3, 2004 that would be nice.... but the root admin must be amenable to this arrangement.an increase in bandwidth and web space would surely be appealing. :)although there can be some drawbacks in having this kind of competition:- can be time-consuming for the admin to code and implement and manage areferral system of this magnitude (at this time). if Xisto gets a professionalreferral system which Xisto has to purchase, it just means additional cost toroot admin (which can be channeled to upgrading our host hardware, space,and bandwidth).- prone to spamming of referral link by irresponsible forum members and mayresult to Xisto losing its service from the main host provider.- as a competition, this would have a timeframe and would benefit existingmembers of the forum when the competition begins. and people who get onboard Xisto and join later in the "amazing race" for referrals will be in thelosing end maybe if we start when we reach a member base of 3000, thenwe can have a more interesting competition :)an affiliate system would be better in the long run though if Xisto can do that.it would erase all the drawbacks listed above.

Reddish 0 Report post Posted February 21, 2009 I would be very interested in an affiliate program. Id be sure to promote it. Imagine if each user got two new users on average each. Not a bad mark up! However, I dont agree with the referal competition, as stated above, is prone to spam.Think about it Xisto, please Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
buxgoddess 1 Report post Posted December 7, 2009 A stupid idea , as far the PTC site performance is concerned, you will end up losing the focus.Have quality post and keep earning. Once you earn just choose a package and pay. No nonsense at all. With referral system you get referrals and then therse referrals die out and join as a separate id making too many inactive users and too bad for the site Xisto.

Nameless_ 1 Report post Posted December 8, 2009 This post is from 2004 anyway, and it is rather too old now. We don't actually concern ourselves with this anyway now, it seems. We're just here to help ourselves post quality content and earn hosting credits and domain name money for out domains... plus, a thing like that wouldn't work anyway. People will be signing up with themselves, and plus, it is hard to get some referrals for a hosting company anyway.'Also, if you check out the referral link, it doesn't even let you go to the sign up page. You have to FIND the link to sign up, and even when you found the link, you don't know if it is still under your referral or not. I have tried to refer people but always failed... the link should have a memory thing or something like that... :PNameless_ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
user681 0 Report post Posted December 8, 2009 No..look at all the PTC sites with referals and such..it's a hassle and yeah..people will eventually be getting referals rather than making good posts on this forum Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
