The modern person in a day spent at the computer on the Internet can click from several hundred to several thousand links. However many do not know that not all links "are equally useful".
Speaking to technical language, the link represents the active element of a hypertext marking connecting by itself two different documents, and, speaking to simple words, the link simply conducts on the web page, the image, the file or other document. If to click on the link – the new page will open, the picture will be loaded, the file will be downloaded.
The hypertext marking is a program code thanks to which the websites on the Internet work. At first this code is transferred to the browser which then turns it into the web page which is seen by the user.
The referral link differs from normal in the fact that comprises the certain identifier belonging to the person, this reference to created. The person can be the webmaster, the PR manager, the marketing specialist or even the spammer. And can – and the ordinary person. When the user follows a referral link and makes some action (fills a form, is registered, plays a game, downloads the file or buys some goods) on the opened page, he becomes a referral in relation to the one who created this reference and placed.
The identifier which is "sewn up" in a referral link is, as a rule, not visible to the regular user. Therefore following the link you cannot be sure, normal it is the link, or referral.
Why referral links are necessary?
Today the Internet offers users the mass of opportunities for expenditure of money. Online it is possible to buy the equipment, to order pizza, to fill up mobile, to take the credit, to pay an online game and many other things. At the same time, the competition in network often does not concede the competition in real life and sellers of goods and services fight for the end customer who will bring them income.
The more the interested people will visit the website – the more at the website will be sales and, as a result, arrived. Therefore many websites suggest everyone to bring it clients, paying with it a part from the money spent by clients. Tracking the brought clients is also made by means of referral links.
For example, the owner of the website or the blog can place on him a referral link on online store of gifts and everyone who will follow this link and will buy a gift will bring to the owner of the website a certain percent from the purchase sum. Thus, owners of the websites can earn from the visitors, and owners of shops receive more sales (and income) for the reward paid to those who brings referrals.
In some partner programs the percent of assignments to the one who brought the client can reach 80% and above!
How to take part?
To begin to bring referrals, it is enough to register in one of partner systems (their set on the Internet) on the subject which was pleasant to you and to catch the referral link. Then it can be posted on the websites (or others) and to draw interest for the clients brought according to this link.
