ViralRefer guides
ViralRefer is a free, worldwide referral race. You get a link with no signup, send it to people you know, and your website climbs onto the homepage when unique friends tap Get my link. These guides explain each rule in plain English, starting with the ones people ask about most. There is no cash prize.

The Site Drop ladder, rung by rungHow the five Site Drop rungs work: Just entered, Rising, week text line, Challenger and the 7-day banner. What each needs, how long it lasts, and what does not count. When a referral actually counts
A referral counts only when a unique friend opens your link and taps Get my link. Why visits, copies, refreshes and your own taps count as zero, and how to check. How to claim the 7-day homepage banner
The weekly prize is a 7-day homepage banner for your website, not cash. Who qualifies, the 3-friend rule, how to claim before Monday UTC, and what happens if you are #2. How to get your website on a homepage this week
A free way to get your website onto the viralrefer.app homepage this week: get a link, paste your site, send it. What each step unlocks and honest alternatives. Get a free referral link with no signup
Get a ViralRefer referral link in about 30 seconds with no account and no email. What the link looks like, where to send it, privacy notes, and what counts. When the ViralRefer week resets
The ViralRefer board counts friends from Monday 00:00 UTC to the next Monday. What resets, what stays, how to convert UTC to your time, and how to plan your week. Copying a referral link is not sending it
Copying your ViralRefer link does not move the board. A send is a person opening your link and tapping Get my link. How to send well, with examples for each app. How to share a referral link without looking like spam
Practical ways to share a referral link people will actually tap: who to ask, what to say, where it is welcome, disclosure, and what gets you muted or banned. Why visits don't count
ViralRefer does not count page views because visits can be bought. What a credit is, what is not a credit, how this blocks bots and farms, and how to earn a real credit this week. Count a skill action, not a hit
Hits are page loads anyone can buy. A skill action is a unique person choosing to act. Why ViralRefer scores Get my link taps, why visit boards fail, and how prizes match the metric. Traffic exchanges do not count
Traffic exchange, surf bar and autosurf visits never count on the ViralRefer board. What traffic exchanges are, why their visits rarely convert, and what to do instead. Pasting your website is not the race
Pasting a website after Get my link gives a 15-minute Just entered chip. It is not a climb. What URL to paste, common mistakes, and what actually moves you up. Featured Partner vs the free race
ViralRefer has a free referral race and a separate, labeled $29 Featured Partner slot. What each one gets you, what paying does not do, and how to choose. Promoter /a/ link vs racer /r/ link
Racers use a /r/ link to climb the weekly board. Promoters use an /a/ link for tracked credit and a public listing. How they differ, how to get each, and the rules both share. The operator cannot win the prize
The operator can appear on the ViralRefer board but cannot claim the banner or text-line prizes. Why the house is excluded, how claims work, and what Picked by ViralRefer means. Design a referral loop with no email signup
You can run a referral loop without an email wall. Where anti-cheat goes instead, how to pick a credit event, prize design that avoids farms, and a step-by-step loop. ViralRefer vs referral software vs giveaways
A public referral race, a referral program inside your product, and a giveaway widget solve different problems. An honest comparison to help you pick the right category. English by default, with an optional translation picker
ViralRefer loads in English and offers an opt-in picker for 26 languages. How to switch, how to switch back, why your browser language does not change it, and what stays English.
