I only know of two sites that let you keep track of how many people are clicking on your referral links, but not actually signing up bigstockphoto and crestock.
After looking at these statistics I think I would rather not know.
BigStock: Number of clicks on your referral link - 1108
Number of sign-ups from your referral link - 4
Referral Commissions Earned: $0.00
Crestock: Affiliate clicks - 167
Sign-ups - 2
Earnings - $0.13
I wonder why so many people click on these links, but never follow through?
-
Me 1988 6 signups, so similar. I'm guessing it's robots following links maybe?
I thought StockXpert had done away with referrals, but on their forum they are telling people that it is just an upgrade and it is not a priority to fix the referral stats area.

Number of clicks on your referral link: 1282 (since 10-11-2005)
Number of sign-ups from your referral link: 36
Referral Commissions Earned: $0.00

That must be the worst 36 photographers in the history of microstock. LOL

It could also be that the referral went to someone else. I remember when I joined Cutcaster my referral was given to another person and I had to write John to correct that. Another more recent was a friend was referred to another site and I was not added as referral. It was until he wrote me to check that I noticed the error.
So, given these two cases, we don't know how many of those people came through your link . They may even have joined but if they didn't tell you about it. You wouldn't know either. My 2 bobs worth of guesstimation ;)

I have had similar problems with FT and SS and they were never willing to fix the error.

ouch...I have four at DT, and only one uploads regularly. Three at SS, only one with about 10 approved uploads.

If someone has reffered Yuri to SS. HeŽd get around 1000$/month ::). based on 1000/day. may be more though. (0,03*1000)x30

That would be crazy. I wonder how he works that out when he is signing up at a new site? I doubt He just clicks on random referral links.

ya imagine that , huh?
btw are any of you big sellers and not a contributor to any site? let me know, you can use me as an affliate ;D
-
I thought Big Stock photo awarded you $5 when a referred contributor had 75 images accepted, which is different from other sites than give referral earnings based on sales not reaching a portfolio size.
-
Very true Batman. Frustrating though when you have so many referrals and im waiting for my number 100 lol
-
Just useless referral information that I find interesting. Shutterstock is clearly gives the best referral earnings:
I have 34 submitter referrals on Shutterstock. Of them only about 4 have accepted images and only 1 seems to actively upload and have a portfolio of over a hundred. I've made $324.36 from them.
I have 23 submitter referrals on Dreamstime. All combined they have 301 images online. I've made $47.45 from them.

That is pretty interesting. My one referral at SS = $5.22 with 10 photos in less than a month, my one referral at DT = $3.70 with 200 photos online for a few months.

I have $50+ from just 2 active referrals on DT.
The passive referrals might have joined to be able to download the free pictures.
@Yuri Arcurs, he is so organized and perfectionist I'm sure he will have signed up with a family member or so as his referral to maximize income.
-
I have 13 referrals on SS and 4 of them are active. My monthly referral earnings are around $10-12.
On IS I have 15 referred buyers, and $160 from them, because in september 2008 IS used to give $20 for a referral.
On Dt I have 13 referrals, 7 of them are active, with total earnings of $19,52
-
I used to think istockphoto's referral program was a joke, only $10 per person, but with only four referrals I have made more than at any other site.
Maybe they have the right idea.
