Thanks Michael. The long term idea is to bring the idea of referral marketing to blogs and CMS systems.
ALL of the top 500 ecommerce websites have their own referral or affiliate programs. None of the top blogs have their own referral program. And thats because there was no dead simple way of referring blogs yet.
We plan to change that. Launching with reward-for-clicks as our MVP. Will introduce pay-per-sale referral model soon.
Google hasn't shown any harshness to referral programs yet. But even then, we're not going to focus on SEO part a lot. We consider it a side benefit. And it'll have just 1 line on our sales page.
Thanks. That one line just stood out as a red flag to me on what looked like an otherwise very compelling product - anything that I think could even hint at a Google penalty is sort of a non-starter.
