**Direct answer:** A ViralRefer credit is not a pageview. Someone must open your unique /r/ link and tap Get my link. Visits, copies, and self-clicks are zero. That rule starves bots. There is no cash prize.

## Q: Do visits count as ViralRefer referrals?
A: No.

## Q: What counts?
A unique friend opens your /r/VIRAL-… URL and taps Get my link.

## Q: What does not count?
Visits, copies, opening your own link, screenshots, likes, follows, bots, farms.

## Q: Why?
Click farms sell visits. They cannot sell unique people who start their own link unless you pay them, which ViralRefer does not. Cash prizes attract farms. A 7-day homepage banner for a real website does not.

## Q: Is there cash?
No cash, Cash App, or guaranteed income. See https://www.viralrefer.app/guides/homepage-banner/ and https://www.viralrefer.app/rules/
