Referral Program Starting Today

[vikram]

I recommend that you also accept "?r=bts_account_id"  instead of account names. Makes the referral link look less spammy.

+5% YES please.

Generic referral query string + money related website doesn't mingle really well in most people's head.

"Wait, what was that ref string at the end? Motherfucker, trying to suck me into a fucking ponzi scam." *flag as spam*

Also, are there any plans to include bitshares.tv in referral program?

How does using a referral link that sends traffic to bitshares.org get connected to a user who then downloads  and installs the client from the site? The string is carried into the download?

Awesome!  +5%

I agree masking referral links makes a big difference.

Make it so that the website tracks it but the link changes to the normal. The current way makes it impossible to put it in, say, BTCtalk as the posts will get deleted.

If someone follows one of your links and ends up registering an account with BitShares via the faucet then "bts_account_name" will be given credit.   

Where is the faucet? I did not find it in a few minutes. Not obvious enough.

we can also create new account names for that reason that don't sound "spammy "....

Like refer-o-matic?  :)

We have put in the basic tracking on various sites to gather the data necessary for our referral program.   We have not yet decided on what the rewards will be, so for now you will be participating on speculation that you may get something.  Of course, you may not get anything either.... it is still under development.

If you would like to get credit for signing up new users to the BitShares ecosystem then you can add "?r=bts_account_name" after every URL on my blog or bitshares.org.

If someone follows one of your links and ends up registering an account with BitShares via the faucet then "bts_account_name" will be given credit.   

We are working out more advanced referral incentives, but this should be good enough to get you all started.    Now go and spread links and generate traffic!

+5% Sounds good

[arhag]

How about a specific example for us ancient illiterates who don't know the syntax?  Do the "" get included?

It this right?

That's correct. No quotation marks should be included.
