If you have a compelling reason we should carry you with less than 3,000 visitors, please say so on the signup page.

Why do some leads stats for particular offers take longer to be posted than others?

Often times the per lead advertiser reports to us stats weekly, but sometimes we get stats bi-weekly, daily, or even monthly. As soon as we get the stats we publish them in your stats section.

Can I make money if I refer other Webmasters?

In the Super Affiliate program, if someone links from my site to DirectLeads using my Super Affiliate code, I see that the code removes my userID when they go around the site. Do I still get credit if they signup .. and if so, how do you track it?

Good question .. yes webmasters will link through and the code changes, but we place a cookie on the webmasters computer so we can track when they signup, so even though the URL changes, we still track them with the cookie and you will get credit
