Is it still possible to create a referral link to Stockxpert? The aren't working anymore with Commission Junction, and the old referral links lead to the message "We're sorry, but the page you have requested could not be found". The referral statistic page still show referral link clicks, but I can't find the correct link to fix all the other links.
Can someone explain how to create a working referral link to StockXpert?

I'm also wondering about this. Perhaps I will start a new thread and maybe we can get a few answers.

The StockXpert affiliate program was broken during a site upgrade and I recall someone official saying at the time that it wasn't going to be fixed, but I can't remember the source so I may be mistaken. That was before the JI sale, and I can't see Getty investing the time to get it back up and running.

I replaced my referral links with a non-referral link to the homepage back then, but I'm still getting referral click-throughs and signups. I have no idea where they're coming from.

My lifetime referral earnings at StockXpert is $1.50, but I write for photographers, not buyers.  The StockXpert referral program doesn't pay anything for referred contributors, so those writing for buyers might have better luck.

you could give http://www.stockxpert.com/?ref=yourusername

they are still tracking clicks in the referral tab (not certain if that is the code that's being tracked) that link directed visitors to a 'page not found' for many months but now seems to be working again (?!) with nothing official on the site you have no way of knowing what's actually earning anything.

they removed the referral info from the site in about june 08, and they wanted you to change over the no defunct CJ affiliate program, it all got very messy and I don't remember hearing much in the way of 'official comment'. (anyone?) but ditto what lee said re: the JI sale etc
