Two credits, one gate

Promoter /a/ credit and race /r/ credit both move only when a unique person taps Get my link. The difference is the reward: /r/ climbs the weekly board and Site Drop ladder, while /a/ builds tracked promoter credit and a public listing. Neither pays cash, and promoter credit never unlocks the banner.

Do not mix them. A blog or directory that wants to promote ViralRefer should use an /a/ link or a homepage UTM URL, not your personal /r/ code. Anatomy of /r/: /r/ code explainer.

Short guide: promoter vs racer.

What does the Promoter credit explainer do?

This page lays the two side by side so you can pick the right door. Bloggers, directories and list owners usually want /a/. People asking friends directly usually want /r/. Mixing them up leads to wrong expectations about prizes.

How do I use it?

  1. Decide whether you publish to an audience or message people directly.
  2. Publishers: get an /a/ link from /go/affiliates/.
  3. Direct senders: get an /r/ link from the homepage.
  4. Hold both if you do both.

What is an example?

A newsletter writer adds an /a/ link to a resources section and earns listing credit when readers tap Get my link. Separately, they race with an /r/ link sent to friends.
