How did you get your referers?

Post by nodisch18 »

Just wondering...

It seems to be very hard to get some referers... So i was wondering, how did you get yours?


PS: I have 3 referers, all of them used a link on a forum where i posted.

Just for curiosity, I posted a note to the classifieds section of Helsingin Sanomat, a local newspaper :)
That didn't work out that well though, I got only a few new EBTers that way.

I sent a mail to everyone I know ... it only got me one or two referers.
I posted at a couple of forums ... 3 members found the way
In guestbooks of various sites, about 10 new members
A link in the related sites section : the rest

total : 17 ... a bit disappointing, but not everybody registers immediately, and many probably just cut & paste the www.ebt.com part, and not your reference number
Time is on our side ...

I did it like Skylimit. Only 1 new referer and I'll enter the top 10 of referers :D . Actualy, getting referers is far more difficult than getting new notes.
I'm trying to find a new way to get more referers - I hope to be online within a month 8) .

I got most of my referers from a forum (forum.fok.nl) and some from my own little site (well i guess only my brother registered that way :cry: )

I've got a total of 13 referers wit in total 137 notes entered (but sad enough non of them is active at this moment).

I put the link on a couple of forums I was visiting. The I used a search engine and put "keskustelupalsta" (discussion forum), and put a link to most fitting ones. But i think that you should think twice before putting a link to some forums (ie.If there is not "general discussion"), because I don't think that we would like to seem as spammers or anything negative.

2) My best friend has a son (1)

3) I wrote an article in a nation-widely spread newspaper (5)

Yes she is. She actually has more bills than I do :oops: (not that I have many - 39 against her 61...), but she has an activity in which she moves lot of money around, while I'm just a broke college student 8)
