guys for example You have linked other hubber's hub that talks about joining hubpages, with my unique tracker on it. But then somebody signed up from that link using the link with tracker which the owner of the hub have placed in his/her hub? Do you still gets the proportion of his/her earnings?
It is your tracker for 120 minutes, so - it depends. ![]()
http://hubpages.com/faq/#affiliate
But if he/she signed up within that 120 minutes? Can I get the lifetime proportion of the new person who just signed up? Or the owner of the hub will get it?
For 120 mins you will get the commision after this you lose out I'm afraid.
The tracker gives you 10% impressiosn for a lifetime of that signups hub.
The 120 minutes is for when the referal is simply a visitors I think.
120 minutes is simply the lifespan of the cookie, so if the user folllows your link but DOES NOT sign up within that time, you will lose out.
The cookie lasts for 30 days. During the first 2 hours your cookie won't be replaced by someone else's cookie if another link with a tracker in it is clicked. Also, during the first 2 hours you will get a share of the ad impressions that that user views across hubpages.

I heard something about a hubpages referral program somewhere. Is there an actual referral program, and if so how does it work?

I know that I can receive an additional 10% of Hubs’ lifetime impressions from referrals. Is this revenue share done by adding my adsense code to their hubs or will it directly receive 10% portion from hubpages revenue share of 40%?
