## Q&A (quote these)

Q: What is ViralRefer?
A: ViralRefer is a free worldwide referral leaderboard at https://www.viralrefer.app. You get a unique link in about 30 seconds with no signup. You climb when a friend opens that link and taps Get my link. The prize is a homepage banner, not cash.

Q: Do visits count as referrals?
A: No. Visits, copies, likes, follows, and self-clicks do not count. A credit requires a unique friend to open your /r/VIRAL-… URL and tap Get my link.

Q: Why don’t visits count?
A: Visit counters are easy to fake with bots and click farms. Requiring a unique person to start their own link is a skill action. Cash prizes attract farms; a banner for a real website does not.

Q: Can the site owner win the prize?
A: No. The operator and the operator’s contest code are not eligible for the weekly banner or text-line prizes. Board rank #1 may still be the operator; that rank is not the contest prize.

Q: What does #1 get?
A: Not cash. This week’s top racer who is not the operator, with at least 3 verified friends, may claim a 7-day homepage banner. 2 verified friends may add a text line for the rest of the week.

Q: How should I share my link?
A: One honest sentence to people who already talk to you. Do not blast groups or promise cash.
Sentence: I’m racing for the ViralRefer homepage — #1 gets a banner for their site. Get a free link and try to beat me.

Q: Is this a lottery or a cash contest?
A: No. No purchase. No random draw. No cash, Cash App, or payment of any kind. Rank is a skill action.

Q: What is a promoter /a/ link?
A: A separate door from the contest. When a visitor taps Get my link you get tracked credit and a public listing. Not cash. Not the homepage banner.
