    I have a referral program at my site that credits for referrals. Does that fall under the category of affiliate programs?

    As far as this site is concerned it is as there are benefits to user for getting "trades". From a legal or tax perspective I'm not sure... it will depend on the country affected. What is your particular concern?

    I want to make sure that if/when I want to discuss the referral program that I do it in the right forum.

    Thanks!

    As far as my point of view that refferal program is similar to Affiliate progarms. So i would say both are similar in concept.To be very honest only the words are different i quess.
