Affiliate/Ad Networks ... Referral and Sign up payments

[wahmsuzanne]

Hey Kevin ... (or others) ~

Do you happen to know how much you get paid for referrals and/or sign up bonuses for the companies you list here:

Looking to sign up and refer to some companies so I just thought I'd ask ...

Thanks! *SmiLes* Suzanne

Text Link Ads pays $25 per sign up. Google AdSense and Review Me don't pay out for referrals (AdSense used to but they stopped that, probably because it cost them too much).

Can't speak for the rest :)

I'm having problem with TLA referrals. How can I know my referral code because when I click in their banners tab, it's empty and I don't know where to find referral buttons or whatever.

[navjotjsingh]

It seems TLA is having some problems...even I am seeing only empty page in TLA Banners and links section.

[wahmsuzanne]

I saw a really good step-by-step ebook on how to get set up with TLA to make sure you get the referral credit and I thought I saved it ... can't find it on my computer or on the internet ... anyone ever seen it? Or know where to find it? Thanks! *SmiLes* Suzanne

[sarahG]

Sorry, I can't even give you a suggestion as to what your TLA affiliate link may be as we were given tinyURLs over a year ago which of course mean nothing!

The page doesn't work so drop TLA an email or message. They're usually pretty quick in responding.

[athlon24]

Actually, I already emailed them before, a month ago asking the same issue but they did not reply. :(

TLA doesn't impress me much...Adsense was good with it referral system..but yeah it might have cost them a lot

[athlon24]

@kocharvimal adsense? I thought they closed down their referral system already. you can't do anything from your referral now on adsense.

Strange. I'll send them a message and see if I get a response. Will let you know.

Had a reply from them

Just bumping this as the forum merged Sarah's response with her earlier post, and so some (eg. Athlon24) may miss it.

i just know about this thread, wow seem kevin join many program to get earn.

[wahmsuzanne]

So I'm I reading this correctly ... They are no longer offering the $25 referral credit? *SmiLes* Suzanne

[athlon24]

Possibly. or maybe they are making some other way to improve their referral system or to change their terms in it. Because getting $25 by just referring someone doesn't make much sense.

[wahmsuzanne]

That's a bummer ;( I was going to be promoting it. Guess I'll have to wait and see what else they come up with. S

They are not currently offering affiliate links to new affiliates no, however existing affiliates should still be able to have people signing up and get their affiliate payout. The links are not a typical link?id=userid they were tiny URLs and then JavaScript links, so it's not something you could guess at either.

Because getting $25 by just referring someone doesn't make much sense.

Well yes and no. That $25 could be paid out for a new advertiser, publisher or affiliate. Unless the new user doesn't add any sites, doesn't buy any links and doesn't refer anyone else then yes, the $25 has been a waste, however it's unlikely that will happen. TLA will most likely make a profit on the new user on average so it'll be worth it.
