We are trying to figure out how best to include a referral system or affiliate system into yours.org and we are curious how other businesses do this. An example referral system is Amazon, where you can be an Amazon affiliate and get a special link to Amazon where you earn money for referring people to buy something on Amazon. It will work similarly on yours.org - you will be able to refer people to an article on yours.org and share in the revenue for doing so. Another example is Dropbox. If you refer your friend to Dropbox, you get more space on Dropbox. A lot of cryptocurrency exchanges also have referral systems where you earn money by referring new users. We are ONLY interested in referral systems that pay the affiliates money - so Dropbox doesn’t count, because you can’t earn money by referring people to Dropbox (you can only earn more storage space). The cryptocurrency exchanges do count and Amazon counts because you can earn money by referring people We would like to know: What are the top 20 biggest referral systems on the internet measured by how much money is paid out to the affiliates? Amazon is probably the largest. For each system, we would like to answer the following questions: ● What is the name of the company that has the affiliate system? ● What is a link to a description of how the affiliate/referral system works for that company? The link for Amazon is: ​https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/ ● What is a one sentence description of how the referral system works? (for instance, for Amazon, you can earn a % of sales by sharing a link to a product on Amazon) ● How much money per week do the affiliates earn all put together? (please sort in descending order by this value) ● How many people are affiliates for this company? And what is the average amount of money each affiliate earns per week?
