WhatRumors:User Referrals
From WhatRumors: The Celebrity Gossip Wiki
Well, we are getting WhatRumors off the ground, and we have some really great features that we would like to introduce. The first feature is user referrals. When you refer a new user to whatrumors using a special url, you will receive credit for the sign up, and we will be giving away prizes based on the sign ups. There are two ways to refer a new user. The first way is to send a link using the new Special:InviteEmail link. You can dump email addresses into this form separated by commas and a special email will go out to them linking them to the sign up sheet.
The second way to refer your friends is to have them follow the following link with your user name in it:
http://whatrumors.com/index.php?title=Special:UserRegister&from=1&referral=YOUR_USER_NAME.
Make sure that you use underscores instead of spaces if you use links.
You can find this link within the email message on the Special:InviteEmail page too. If you have questions let me know at lambchops@whatrumors.com.
You can paste this anywhere, like your blog or in forum comments, and have people sign up for the site. The more people that you refer, the better your chances are for winning prizes. We will also have some other contests coming up that will base winnings on the amount of users you have referred as well.
Keep an eye on WhatRumors:Prizes for up to date information on the contests that we are running.
Take care,
