Nearly every affiliate network out there has a referral program that allows you to earn a percentage (usually) of your referrals income. We all know the revenue potential with these referral systems. Everyone dreams of referring the next super affiliate and making a few grand a month off of them. Awh… the beauty of residual income. If it were only that easy.

But how easy is it to get someone to sign up through your referral link. That all depends on you, the people that read the plethora of affiliate marketing blogs out there.

Say a blogger starts raving about this new network he just started using. This is the first place you have heard of this network, but you aren’t convinced that you really need one more affiliate manager begging for more traffic. After reading a few other blogs and forums, you read more and more about this network. It’s getting so much attention that you think, “I gotta check this out.”

Here’s the question: Do you go to the original blogger that first told you about the network and sign up with his referral link or do you just go straight to the network and bypass the referral?

Personally, I like to support the blogs that I enjoy reading. In the past, I have gone back to a blog just to find his referral link so he will get credit for me. After all, he did REFER me to the network originally.
