Are my referral earnings working?
Yes, it takes many paid emails received by affiliates to have referral earnings show up, even for affiliates that have 100's or 1000's in their downline. Referral earnings are displayed once a referred member has earned their referring member at least 1 full cent. Technically a member with 1000 referrals that have each earned him/her 1/2 cent has earned $0.50 but their earnings will not be shown until an individual member has earned them 1 full cent.

Why not increase referral percentages?
We would like to offer as cheap as advertising for our advertisers. Our aim is to stay on the top and not be on the top for a small period. Moreover our aim is to respect our members and not to change our terms often. If we want to impress, we will offer more referral percentages and after 3-4 months we will decrease them. We don't want to do that. Besides this we want to have advertisers and with cheap prices attract them. It's better from our members to have many daily paid mails instead of having many referral percentages with a few mails.
