• I have been looking for an affilate / referral style plugin for WordPress and have come up empty. This is how I would like it to function:

    User signs up and gets affiliate link to use on web site or send to friends.

    People follow the affilate link to the website and sign up for the newsletter.

    The system keeps track of how many people the affilate referred.

    There is no money involved so it does not need to be as complicated as all the affilate apps I have seen. Essentially it would function just like spreadfirefox affiliate program as it will be used in much the same way i.e. it will essentially be a contest and there for I need to be able to show live stats on who is ahead.

  • Uhhh, why do you need an affiliate program if no money is involved?

    *I’m confused*

    P.S. Firefox gives $1 per user you sign up via Adsense, or other methods as well.

    I think I kind of know what you’re talking about…something like what this site is using?

    http://www.thesnitch.co.uk/site/affiliates/list.php

    I’ve been curious about that myself, I have no idea how they’re doing it. LOL. Would be nice to know.

    And btw, Draconic, affiliate programs are not just for money, they’re also for bringing traffic to newer sites.

    Draconic – I plan on rewarding people by other means such as prizes.

    I am pretty sure such a plugin does not exist. There are tons of affiliate apps / scripts out there, but most of them are full of features that I do not require. The spreadfirefox system is exactly the kind of thing I am looking for. In case you do not know what I am talking about, check out the affiliate stats in the right hand column on http://www.spreadfirefox.com

    Since spreadfirefox uses Drupal they may be using this module.

    Anyway, any WordPress Plugin developers willing to take this on? I may be willing to pay for its development

    Ohhh, I see bringing in the traffic. I’ve actually thought about that myself, but never thought of “non-paying” affiliate programs.

    Haha maybe we should pool up money for a developer to work on it.

    I would be willing to pool money if people are down. We could use http://www.fundable.org/
