Constant Content

Remember this discussion we had a while back about affiliates, referrals, and recruited authors? http://www.constant-content.com/forum/v ... =4&t=18071

C-C must keep the referring link cookie forever because I accidentally clicked on the nice yellow "Want to Write For Us?" button on the homepage. It jumped me to the signup form and indicated that I'd been referred by a particular author! Neat, huh! He was last active about six months ago so I don't know if he's still hanging around, but now I know who referred me to C-C.

I'd guess if you've changed computers since you signed up C-C might not recognize your connection with your referrer, or maybe it's a cookie thing, I dunno how those magical things work. If anyone else clicks the yellow button on the homepage and discovers his/her referrer, let me know because I'm curious.

Evelyn, I just tried this and it said I was being referred by author Antonia Anderson. Too bad we can't really refer ourselves! I think I must have signed up independently...or else it's a cookie thing like you said.

I tried it and I don't think it's really accurate for us existing writers. Mine came up with a person whose author number is in the 50,000 range. My own author number is 3,000 something. So, how could someone who just recently signed up be my referrer? I'm guessing I recently clicked this person's link to CC via Twitter or something.
