How to get referrals guide - website address guide

With all referral sites we are given a link to refer others. For example
Apple.real-incentives.com/?referral=355. It’s boring and people will not remember the whole address. Maybe just the Apple.real-incentives.com but not the important part, your the referral link.

That’s why people opt for purchasing a smaller domain. You can pay or get one for free. Either way you can redirect to your referral link. For example http://www.myfreexbox360.co.uk/ redirects to my referral link at consoles.real-incentives.com. It is short, easy to remember and people don’t realised it’s a referral link at all.

Of course I had to pay for http://www.myfreexbox360.co.uk/ as it is a .co.uk domain.
These offer a sense of security and reassurance to a sceptical referral. If you would rather get your referrals for free hence the term “freebie” try using services like .tk and .cjb.net. These are free but may require pop up ads on your site. Paid domains can be bought from 1&1.co.uk for a small price

In the competitive referral market today, you need to stand out, offer something different. Something people will remember. This is why I think paid domains are a good investment, if you choose a catchy name that serves its purpose. Please comment on your views.

.tk dosent show any ads anymore, so I would recommend them instead of a paid domain. I didnt pay a single penny for my site, oseveno.tk.
