Me too! I'd not join through an unknown person's referral links. However, if i find the site useful, i might.
If its through this forum and the person is a good member I will. If they are just here to get people to join and help then I strip the ref id.
If I am going to join the program anywhay then yes. Especially if I wouldn't know about the program/service without being reffered to it in the first place. Unless it's a program where you loose anything by signing up via another affiliate link, I don't see why not. I would want others to sign up via my link, if they are gonna sign up anyway. And I always do to others how I would want done to me.. so, yeah I usually do.
Option 2. It depends how much I like that person/website It makes no difference to yuo at the end of the day, it just depends if you want to help the referer make some cash
Yes, because why not? It's not like you're going to be losing anything, and you're helping another person out. :]
Yes I do because I believe the person recommending the product deserves the money if they genuinely helped you.
I join ref links only if referrer doesn't hide it, and says it's his link. If he throws me a tinyurl link, then i open it in other browser, see whats the url of the site he wants me to register and the register without link in other browser
