The next problem is if you have global referrers (affiliates) you need to set up international payments -- it's not like you can use paypal for long  So, there is a lot of setting up to do and front end cost to an idea like this.
Just tracking a few hundred referral sources and determining which referrals generate revenue is a complex matter.
Paying a flat rate per referral wither or not that lead generates revenue leaves you wide open to internet fraud -- very common when buying leads. |
See, this is the reason I ran it past you lot first, Ive not got a clue on these things and didnt think it would be at all complicated although Im not sure that your post is seeing it the same way I was.
I just assumed it was simple in that we sign up the site to a dozen or so other sites and would be paid £x every time someone signed up/ deposited/ bought stuff etc via our link then we'd collect those payments, bank them and at the end of the year do a draw of the customers we'd had to decide the winner.
It seemed so simple in my head!
