Ok I stuck both if you guys in there. The way it's setup is that it will display the link for 24 hours then move to the next link. The thing we are working on now is getting more exposure to the site.. cause its getting some hits, but definatly would work better with a lot more. If you have any ideas let me know

Greg, I'd appreciate if you could post my link for a while. Thanks!

http://www.FreeFlatScreens.com/default.aspx?referer=7790764

You know, I didn't get a single ipod referral even though I started this thread. You're all a bunch of swarthy bastards I say. Well I don't need any of you. I got 5 on my own. But now that you are feeling guilty I will give you an opportunity to redeem yourselves and give me a free flat screens referral.

Ok, rather then say "I added you" .. just post your link and I'll add you as soon as I see it. So far there is about 4 or 5 people on there so your guys links should come up in the next few days. If you guys have any ideas of getting more traffic to the site, as I said before please let me know... and no i'm not gunna spam it everywhere lol.

SE_Sport_Driver I added your link.

Btw: Help me get my flatscreen so I can gets pics on the site.. hehe:

24 hours? Why a time limit? Doesn't that defeat the purpose? Besides, I was up there for several days and never got one referal from it for either item.

To rotate the links and avoid hassels. Because otherwise the person on top will remain there and then I have to check with them to find out when they have gotten their 5/8 referrals... etc. So basically you get your link all of the site for a 24 hour period... then it will cycle through the list and start over. Obviously it would work a lot better with more traffic... which is what im working on now. Got any idea's on how this could work better?

I'm willing to take one for the team and accept the first iPod in an effort to drive more traffic to his site.

I will, of course, immediately sell it so I can get a Carbon.

<drool> Carbon. </drool>

Hehe.. well that could possibly work. The thing is that i'm doing this to help other people and hopefully get my freeflatscreens one done. I'm not out to make any money or anything from this. I registered both the domains hoping that they would get some traffic and I could get my referrals done... for freeipods I had to get all the referrals by talking friends through the process, so the site (which wasn't even up then) didn't help at all. As far as freeflatscreens, it has only given me 4 referrals... and none of them have completed an offer Both sites are starting to (slowly) build traffic, so hopefully they will start to work the way they were intended.

Well, for the time being you could not have it do anything. 24 hours might be a lot of time. Besides, aren't you adding a lot of these links at once? That means that most people are never going to get to the top, just whoever was signed up first in the block.

But don't mind me, I think I've given up. They didn't give me credit for any of the four auctions I bid on for either giveaway. Bastards.

There are only 5 people in the lineup right now so 24hrs doesn't mean your link wont show... I think what i'll do is just set it up to randomly rotate through the links. Like I said though... until traffic starts to build up nothing is really gunna happen. I really only got the completed and started telling people about it a couple days ago. In the last two days there have been 49 actual hits and 178 pageviews... 37 already today. While that isn't a lot at all, its better then having no exposure to your link.

Dont give up! We know for sure it's not a scam now, even though its a pita to get the referrals and sometimes they don't show up.

Thanks, I was just getting discouraged because the damn place won't credit me for the offer and now the ebay offer isn't even available for the iPod. I decided I'd just go ahead and email them. I'll be amazed if they respond and say "sure we'll give you credit for a bid on a 1 cent item and another that was clearly under-bid" We'll see

Ok so I did some homework. The best deal IMHO is the RealRhapsody. You need a credit card to signup but the good news is that it's REALLY simple to cancel and you don't even have to call to do it. I put this together to show how easy it is: http://www.freeflatscreens.us/real.php .

If anyone is feeling generous, please use my referral http://www.FreeFlatScreens.com/default.aspx?referer=7546721 Thanks!

Sadly, no. Three people from the BBS were generous and kind enough to sign up for me, but only one ever completed an offer.

Oh well. Life goes on, ne?

I completed the ebay offer for both deals twice (once in Firefox, then once in IE, since I thought it didn't recognize it in Firefox). I received no credit for any of them. I emailed them using their own form for trouble with offer crediting. Shortly thereafter, they sent out a letter to everyone saying that people who haven't received credit for completing an offer should wait a week or so while they caught up. That was several weeks ago. I've let it go. I'm just glad I gave them addresses that I can just associate with my trash bin

For anyone who is still interested in this... After about a month of waiting, my ipod finally shipped. The ups tracking number says it is out for delivery. You can check your status by logging in.. if it says "Shipped" click on the order number and it will show your tracking number.
