referrals process needs improvement

I refer people to P5 all the time. There are probably ten people here whom I've referred, but the only way I can get "credited" for having referred them is if they sign up using the link that I send them.

We've tried emailing the management after the person signs up (by just going to P5, not knowing they needed a link), but no joy. These requests get ignored most of the time.

Would it be difficult to add a "who referred you" field to the signup form that everyone sees?

Thanks,

I've missed out on referrals, too.

It would be great to be able to view the inbound clicks and where they came from whether they sign up at that time or not.

I also believe there is a 30 day window for the referral credit that is set by the initial visit cookie.

I bought a latte last month with my referral credits. I no of no one who makes any significant amount via referrals. I would like to know them, and their secrets.

anything helps, and if I actually got referral credits for all the people I've referred, it could actually run into money.

Chuck - you can email us (contact@pond5.com) with usernames of anybody you've referred, and we'll set them up as your referred users. I just checked and didn't find any outstanding messages of yours in our inbox. Also found a few of your referred users that had contacted us directly, and who we already set up as your referred users.

We're revamping the referral system in general and will be rolling out improvements shortly.
