Has anyone evr considered just paying the site owner for refs on their site? I've noticed people dropping like $20-$35 per ref for an average user owned site. I'm sure that they get paid less from the companies (the offers) than $35 per ref. Would any small site owners even consider that? I'm not interested or anything, just curious.

Unless you were referring others, it's unlikely that a site owner would agree to this. The business model relies on you referring others that are likely not to meet the site's requirements.

Say the gift is valued at $250 and requires 6 referrals. You offer the site owner $175, which is $50 more than he would receive if 6 people completed offers with his advertisers. However, he doesn't just see those 6 referrals as $125; he sees it as potentially four or five times that, since each of those referrals might refer others, and so on, and so on...
