I have several promos all over the place promoting this wonderful site and get referrals quite consistently.  Now, I'd like to know which of those promos are actually working for me.  It would be nice if FC provided this info.  Just a thought. :)

I agree with you! Would be nice to see them implement it. But I won't hold my breath FC likes to keep you in the dark!

Lol I don't see why they would in this case as this could really help the people who are helping FC get new members to a great extent.

Well first you have to get the referrals for yourself using you own referral link located at the bottom of your account page.  You start with friends and family.  But you have to make sure your not spamming just start with your friends and family.  But make sure its family that doesn't live in same house cannot have same IP address.  Just read up on it the  rules are there I have 4 referrals so far trust its not easy but you can do it.   :cat:

Tell your friends to click on your link they sign up and do all the things you do you get credited for it as well as them! It's really great=) hope you get your referrals

I think that is a fantastic suggestion if it wouldn't cause too much time for the FC staff to put it together, it would be helpful to see where our referrals are coming from. But I don't see how it would help FC just us.

I have several promos all over the place promoting this wonderful site and get referrals quite consistently.  Now, I'd like to know which of those promos are actually working for me.  It would be nice if FC provided this info.  Just a thought. :)

I feel pretty sure they must have this info to prevent fraud, but making it available to us would involve setting up some programming.  You could always use a link tracker that would at least allow you to see how many times and when your links are getting hits.  My autoresponder has one built in or you can use bit.ly for free.   You will put your FC link in the bit.ly shortener and it will produce a new shorter link.  You then use a different bit.ly for each place you advertise.  Then you can see how many times that link is hit and when.  Correlate that with when you got a referral and you will probably be able to tell where it came from.   In my opinion it is kind of a lot of trouble, but maybe worth your while if you are paying for your advertising.

I started using bit.ly not too long ago and just the other day got my first referral for FC. I was able to see that the click came from my blog. Unfortunately it doesn't tell you who they are, but at least it helps you to see where you need to concentrate on advertising.

Hey Efrain,

I have a couple suggestions.

The first one is easy - but not guaranteed to give you the results you want, because it requires a bit of luck that someone else finds your post. On your FC account, you're shown your Referral's names. So, why not attempt to solicit a response from them by posting a message in the Forum with their name? Something like: "Hey <referral's name>, thanks for joining Fusion Cash. You're my referral! How did you find Fusion Cash?" And see if that person responds. I don't think this is against any rules, is it?

The second suggestion is a little more involved, but it works for me. Get yourself a website, and direct your promotions when clicked on to take the potential clicker to your website first. Have a background statistics program running on your site that will track where people come from, and what they do on your website. Websites can be free, and so are many stat programs. You'd be able to track visitors to your site, and depending on your stat program, what people click on. What it won't do for you, necessarily, is tell you who's who, but you might be able to make an "educated guess" if someone came to your website today, clicked on something today, and all of a sudden you have a new referral today. Get the idea?

The concept behind both suggestions is changing your philosophy. Instead of WAITING for Fusion Cash to come up with a way to track YOUR referrals for YOU, do it yourself. I have 3 referrals myself, and I just happen to know exactly where they all came from. (I know, I know, I'm boasting, patting myself on my back, call me arrogant, hehe).

Hope that helps a bit.
Mike

For privacy reasons we just indicate your referral's username.  There are substantial privacy implications for showing the referring URL. 

That said, high volume promoters can take advantage of 'source ID' tracking in our publisher program to accomplish what you're asking about.  There are minimums (100s of referrals per month) before you can join, however.

::) ::) Golleee, if you were to be able to connect with your referrals, you might just tell them about another money making opportunity. Hopefully, some of them will contact you. They can do that, if you have that feature enabled on your Earnings/Home Page.

I had one ( my cousin's wife) sign up, but never confirmed her email address. Then I had one sign up and confirm his email address, but has never cashed out. So, I have made ONE BIG DOLLAR from Referrals since I have been here. Woo Hoo!! YEAH!! Ha, Ha, Ha.
