Referrals

vBulletin includes a feature that will allow your community members to be rewarded for recruiting new users to your bulletin board. A user can gain a referral by attracting a new user to the vBulletin forum via a special referral link. A typical referral link looks a bit like this:

http://forums.webrats.com/index.php?referrerid=$userid
(Where $userid is the unique ID number of the user)

Note: Your users can find out their specific referal URL by visiting your vBulletin board FAQ page (by clicking on the button at the top of the page). Once a user has found out their unique URL, they can then pass the URL on to their friends and colleagues. If any of these visitors register for an account on your bulletin board via this special link, the user will earn one referral.

In addition, a "Referrer" field will be included on the initial user registration screen that will allow visitors to grant a referral "point" to an existing user even if they haven't visited the bulletin board via the specially coded URL.
