Hey im kinda new to this site and already have on ref for my nintendo wii.
I am having a tough time trying to find refs so i was wondering what is the best way to advertise it. Some kid said ebay so can anybody elaborate on that?

Don't use eBay.

Try the trading forum here. Read the stickies and you'll have a hang of it in no time.

Ya, don't go the ebay route. Not very good results, and will get your ebay account suspended.

Add your ref link to your email signature.

And your forum signature

I take no responsibility for what happens to your FiPG account due to having your referral link in your signature. If you add it, there is a fantastic chance you will get yelled at and/or a temp-ban. [/size372488886a]

Try and talk a couple friends into doing it, offer to reimburse them for the cost of the offer and throw them an extra $5, or pay for their drinks at the bar one night (assuming you go to the bars), something like that. Having a couple friends do it for you will make it much easier to finish the site.

I specifically didn't add that recommendation, since most people don't seem to know when and where it's acceptable.

Generally, for most boards, unless you mod, or admin it, it's usually [i5194802c69]not[/i5194802c69] acceptable.

Trade for your refs first. After you get 1 thing for free, all your friends will believe you and they will want to try it out too. This will make your life a lot easier.

Hence my responsibility waiver......

I do agree with you, however there are many boards out there where it would not be frowned upon if you were one of a few that did it.....

Something like a mathematics forum that you were very active on and one day after four months of helping out with math shit you put in a ref link or something.......

pay a stripper to tattoo the ref link on her chest. Great results.

This is the best advice i think. Once they see proof, they'll hound you on how etc and you can pawn off your referal link.

Though I'd rather not say how I get my referals, seeing as how I have enough competition there as it is ? , I will say that I agree ur friends will want to do it after they have seen the free stuff you will get. Mine have gotten me a couple greens )

Referral for referral.

Green for green.
