Starting in NATS version 3, follow these steps to create a standard Webmaster referral:
- Create a new disabled program. Name it Webmaster Referral (or something similar) and add a short name (no spaces).
- Select WM Referral Program from the Program type drop menu and save. You may ignore the options checkboxes.
- Under Program Default Payouts, edit default and enter the program's payouts. Raw and Unq pay a flat rate on a raw or an unique hit to the site. $flat is a flat rate for a referral and $min can be used to specify the minimum amount of money the referee would have to send in traffic before the referrer would get the flat rate. Days Min specifies the amount of time the referee has to make the $min minimum. $sale specifies a flat rate per paid per referee's sale. %revenue allows specifies a percentage of the referee's sale to pay the referrer. %tier2 is an easy way to set up a second percentage tier.
- Go to the Site Admin page and create a new site. Name the site Webmaster Referral, fill in the short name, and select Webmaster Referral for Site Type. Then click Save Changes.
- Add the site to the webmaster referral program with the Programs This Site Is In section. This will be the only site to be added to this program.
Your affiliates can now grab link codes for the webmaster referral program like any other program. They will also see the payouts in their stats.
