Buy Referrals From Your Favorite PTC ?

Well, to buy or not to buy....

First let me just point out that purchased referrals are good referrals, as good as any other. This is because of how they get them.
Website owners run special scripts that keep track of referrals that you and I bring in. The old standard method was to automatically install a cookie on your machine when you visit thier website xyzMLM.com. Then, assuming the cookie does not get deleted, if you ever visit a DIFFERENT persons affiliate page for xyzMLM, and decide to JOIN it, that cookie would still put you in the downline of the FIRST affilliate ID that you found on the net.
This also kept you as the owner of this recruit if they decide to click all around the website before actually joining it.
But guess what? With most paid to click scripts this is not the case and if they click all over the website before they click the join button they usually end up joining with no sponsor.
This works out great for the PTC. They get 50 or 100 sponsorless signups per day, and then they SELL THEM to the members for a buck a piece! In some cases the referral you buy might have been brought in by YOU in the first place!
So if the site has referrals for sale that means there are some steps you need to take to make sure the referrals you bring in all go in YOUR downline.
First, logout of the PTC. Now go to you own referral link as if you were joining it and click on the "join" or "register" button. When that page loads, copy the URL from your browser and include the HTTP:// and make sure you see your nickname or affilliate ID number at the end of the URL. (If it is not, then this method wont work at that site)
If it ends with your username of affiliate ID this url should take them straight to the signup form page and you cannot lose the referral if they choose to fill in that page. The downside is that there is no "sales pitch" on that page just text boxes so you should first send the traffic to a splash page of your own that has a link that points to your signup form page.

The other alternative is to just buy the referrals and do not spend money recruiting. This will gaurentee they are your people but it is a choice of cost. Can you recruit them yourself cheaper? If you are skilled it is possible. I use the splash page pointing at the signup form method and my referrals are costing me around fifty cents a peice this way. I got 19 signups for a $10 ad I placed in LinkGrand just the other day which took about 24 hours to complete. So there ya go, that's my take on it all now get out there and drum up some recruits!
