The reward will surely be in the referral commission, but I am interested to see just how many referrals I actually get.
I'm interested to see the same. I bet a lot has to do with luck though, like who clicks your link on any given post you've made. There are so many PD signature posts it would just feel like luck, but I could be wrong.
I think it's part luck, but I would think Hero Members get the most traction, as by default, they are the most trusted
I don't think being most trusted or a higher member status will have much difference. When I first put in my referral link within a day I had 30 referrals and soon got up to hundred but it stopped at there (assuming the refs were actually working correctly).
But in affiliation trust is going to do nothing its just your personal link or activity
Right, but I would go out on a limb and say that more links get clicked on Hero Member profiles than lower activity member groups
That all depends. I would imagine a Hero Member making 100 posts a month probably wont get no where near as many referrals as a Full Member making 1000. There's a lot of factors in it: luck, number of posts you make, boards you post in, sig size etc.
I just hope the new affiliate program is kinda detailed in stats, would be interesting to see.
If you can see bets or gains from single accounts you have referred or if it's all together into one total.
I think it'll probably be just lumped together in totals (number of sign-ups and commission made etc).
