How many referrals do you have?

   How much have they written, and how much traffic have they won?
   
   I have:
   
   282    referrals
   694    hubpages
   104636 traffic to hubpages
   
   That is only 2.46 hubpages per referral, but I cross my fingers that I find the next Mark Knowles someday.... I do have one that has published over 80 hubs in just 2 or 3 months with a decent hubber score... hopefully that rate will be maintained for a few years and then I can sit and twiddle my thumbs!

         Wow!!
         
         You must be about 6 months away from retirement then Darkside
         
         By the way, there were thousands of Aussies in Vegas, apparently the exchange rate is incredible for you guys at the moment.... maybe you should take advantage of that whilst it lasts!
         
         At least I got to console myself in the fact that, whilst our economy is f*cked, we did beat you at Cricket

            How do you know you didn't brush past me?
            
            And I'm sure that's you working at my local pharmacy. I suspect you were researching a hub about Chemists.

               Because you blatently would have said hello!
               
               As much as I would welcome the opportunity to live and work in Australia, I'm not sure that working in a pharmacy would be my career of choice!
               
               Not that I would get a job in a pharmacy, seeing as I am a chain smoker! Not a great combination!

      Rarely look at them. I forget they're there - seems I have some active Hubbers - so thankyou to those that signed through me. Not sure if they make me anything but still, it's all good

      Ever thought about giving it a go?
      
      I'm not sure how much I make from them, but I estimate around $5-$10 per day from trackers and referrals... which is impressive over the course of a year.
      
      It's a lottery though, can take 50 referrals to find a decent one who stays.

   I have 5
   
   One of them wrote 1 hub
   
   It has received 112 views
   
   3 of my 5 referrals seem to have signed up to make a comment or ask a question - they do so and never come back.
   
   This is not a particularly lucrative market for me.  I don't think I'll get rich on referrals any time soon.

   geez, those are some impressive stats. ryan and darkside, do you have specific sign up links on all of your hubs, or do you simply use trackers in your links?

      I can't confirm that, not yet at least. Perhaps Darkside can though?
      
      You would be surprised at how many signups you can get by just using referral trackers in your Hubpages profile(s) and/or a signup invitation in your Hubpages profile.
      
      That first line of my profile has got me 20 referrals in a month, I can't see it doing any harm. I know that you don't like page leaks, but no harm in using trackers on the occassion that you are going to link anyway?

      You can make $ with your referrals if they write decent hubs. You can start with inserting trackers on your profile page. So far, that's where most of mine have come from.

    I am still kind of new at HubPages.  I have a tracker on my profile page, but no referrals yet. Should I put it in my hubs also? Any tips you can give me are greatly appreciated.

       you can make different trackers for your hubs. I'm still going back in and making new ones or adding the HP tracker to links in my older hubs. you can check darkside's profile for his tracker related hubs.
       
       kerry, I hear you on the drop down box, it's so much easier, but you can also still use it and simply insert the tracker to the URL.

    I've always been pretty good about using referrals when linking to other people's hubs from mine, but going back through and adding referral links to all links to my own hubs is on my to-do list. I'm lazy and it's an extra step, so it's easier to just use the drop-down list or search, but man, when I think about how many more I could have had, I kick myself for not doing it from the start!

    Another one tells me he has written several, but he has not published them.  Why? He does not say.
