Ok, I know I am not the weight king here, but starting today, my Coop weight I am recieveing from referrals is now equivelent to that contributed from my own sites! Referrals rock!
Yeah referals rocks, other than forum sigs what ways have you found to find them? I seem to get most (as far as I can tell from signatures) though have also done a few articles about my experience with it.
I get them by waiting until someone is looking for a way to promote their site, and then I suggest it and link to my referral URL. Just to make it clear, I would probably point them to the Coop even without the referrals. But, since referral bonuses are available, I add the referral link with a full disclaimer indicating that it is a referral link. This generally yields good conversions. Also, an e-mail out to friends who have their own sites never hurts either. Of course, you don't want to spam your friends too much...
