Hi.
Anyone is using affiliates link?
What I have in mind is the link 4 new customer to sites such as WilliamHill, Ladbrokes, Coral etc. They normally pay you if you "refer a friend".
Any idea will appreciated.
Thank you.

To answer the solitary question in your post. Yes, I do.
Now the rest appears to be some attempt at a statement of intention on your behalf but bereft of any real detail. What exactly do you want to know?
(and it's 'for', not '4').0 -
Well... do you get any income from these links?What exactly do you want to know?
How do they pay(bank transfer, paypal, spend on site)?
For example William_Hill used to pay £25(few years back) if you refer a friend(and if you where already a customer).0 -
Most of the better established schemes will pay you directly to your bank account, but even if they pay you into your site account (eg Ladbrokes) then you can simply withdraw to your bank anyway.
Refer a friend is exactly that. You get paid to introduce someone. You'll find that with affilliate schemes you might get a slightly reduced (or enhanced if you're lucky!) payment as you will be introducing people other than 'friends'. Some schemes offer a sign up fee and then a percentage of referral spend over time. These are the ones to go for.
Do you get any income?
That's a tricky one to answer. Google any of the big companies and see how many affilliate referral sites you see. You need to work very hard to get your site to have any type of prominence, and even then, you need some kind of draw to get punters to use your site rather than a direct signup.
Remember that there are a lot more businesses than just gambling sites. Also remember that some months are good and others not so good, so I wouldn't rely on this idea as a main source of income. Certainly set up a domain and give it a go, but make sure it is tidy and well presented as the companies are quite fussy about which sites they allow to become affilliates. You will generally need to have a site of some type up and running so that they can view it (they seem to like blogs, so look at a free wordpress blog), but once you are signed up, you are free to put the links wherever you want.
Oh, and don't expect ANY return at the start. It's normally a slow burner doing this.0 -
