Looks like an interesting idea, but I'd be extremely wary of signing up for any site that rewards users for helping boost your SEO with inbound links. Google has traditionally been pretty harsh on anything resembling linkbuying, and these incentives seem to blur that line.
That said, I think there's a lot of room for improved, dead simple referral systems, and I'm glad to see another one enter the fray.
- ankeshk 14y agoThanks Michael. The long term idea is to bring the idea of referral marketing to blogs and CMS systems. ALL of the top 500 ecommerce websites have their own referral or affiliate programs. None of the top blogs have their own referral program. And thats because there was no dead simple way of referring blogs yet. We plan to change that. Launching with reward-for-clicks as our MVP. Will introduce pay-per-sale referral model soon. Google hasn't shown any harshness to referral programs yet. But even then, we're not going to focus on SEO part a lot. We consider it a side benefit. And it'll have just 1 line on our sales page.
- morisy 14y agoThanks. That one line just stood out as a red flag to me on what looked like an otherwise very compelling product - anything that I think could even hint at a Google penalty is sort of a non-starter.
