What a /r/ code is

A /r/ code is the personal race URL ViralRefer makes when you tap Get my referral link, like /r/VIRAL-XXXX. You send it in real conversations. A unique friend who opens it and taps Get my link becomes one credit. It is not a listing URL, not a promoter link and not a cash code.

Last updated:

When you tap Get my referral link, ViralRefer mints a personal race URL. It looks like:

https://www.viralrefer.app/r/VIRAL-XXXX

That path is yours. A unique friend opens it and taps Get my link. Visiting or copying is not a credit. There is no cash prize.

It is

It is not

For Indie Hackers, Crunchbase, a bio, or any listing, use the homepage with UTM so you do not leak a personal race code:

https://www.viralrefer.app/?utm_source=place&utm_medium=listing&utm_campaign=maker_2026#get-link

Build one: Listing URL builder. Promoter path: /a/ credit.

Get my referral link

What does the Referral code explainer do?

The code ties a friend's tap to you so the board can attribute Site Drops and the banner path correctly. Because it is personal, it belongs in messages, not in public bios or directories, where a tagged homepage link is the better choice.

How do I use it?

  1. Tap Get my referral link to get your code.
  2. Send the full /r/ link to a person.
  3. For public listings, use a tagged homepage URL instead.
  4. Keep a copy so you send the same link all week.

What is an example?

Good: sending /r/VIRAL-XXXX to a friend on WhatsApp. Not ideal: putting it in a directory listing, where the listing URL builder gives a better link.

FAQ

Does my code change each week?

No. Only the weekly count resets.

Is it a cash code?

No. There is no cash prize.

Can I share just the code text?

Send the full link. A bare code makes people do extra work.

Where should I put my /r/ link?

In real one-to-one conversations. For public bios and directories, use a tagged homepage link from the listing URL builder.

Does my own tap on my /r/ link count?

No. Self-taps count as zero. Only a unique friend tapping Get my link counts.
