Do The Banners On Your Profile Really Help?

Hi friends,
Lately I have been thinking about this. We are not allowed to post referral links in discussions but can send links to our friends through Private messages and put up banners on our profile page.
I have seen many users doing that but my question is how beneficial is it? Does putting up banners on your profile page really help you get referrals? I am taking it for granted that you write some details too, along with the banners to give visitors to your profile, an idea of what your sites exactly offer, including payout limits and all. But what are the chances of your profile being visited and moreover, how frequently do you get referrals because you have put up these banners?
Please share your experiences with me.
Happy Mylotting!

Hi Oindy!
I am not a member of many sites now compared to a year ago. On my profle I still have the banners to the ones that are still paying and several times I receive a PM from another user asking me about a certain banner they have seen. Often I am asked info about a site but the person already belongs to it. They are having problems and cannot find their upline but they see the banner in my profile and ask me. Then, as a way of saying thanks, they join one of the others.
I watch the discussions in the various money interests and watch which sites are new, paying and the reviews about them. If I see a friend talking positively about a site I will go and check their profile to find out more about it and, sometimes, I will join, That happened a couple of days ago and it was a nice surpise when the user here dicovered I had already joined through their banner.
I think that however small the amount of referrals you gain by having your banners in your profile, it will always be a higher amount than if you did not put them there at all

Hi,
It is really nice to know that you get Private messages from users asking about some banner! I mean you are lucky that way.
Yes I agree if no banners were put,there would not even be a 1% chance of getting referrals.
My blog does not help me too much.promoting at Traffic Exchanges does not work either as people are in a hurry for the timer to finish and move on to the next site. When I share links,most users are ungrateful enough to remove the referrer's name while signing up. Imagine a person doing that and that same person asking you for help regarding that site.

Yes I cannot understand this new trend about removing the referrer's ID
If you want another site to promote your blog then have you tried Adboardz?
I will take a look at your blog from home and maybe link it on mine. Will PM you later about it as I am at work now

Hi,
I just read your response.No I have not tried that site as yet and it would be wonderful if you could link my blog to yours.I am really at a loss as to how to gain referrals with the increase in ingratitude amongst people.I am facing the same thing everyday.I told someone about pickjack and this person later came back and told me he had earned $0.40 from it in one day.Apparently,he was wanting to resolve some more of his queries and so had contacted me again.As I could not see him in my referrals,I asked him whether he had used my link and he said YES,he did!Just imagine my misery.

I have found that by adding the banners have helped me pick up some good referrals. Before i placed them their i did not have any people that joined any of the programs through me, but now i have a few which is good.
People check out your profile page for a number of different reasons and a banner just might catch their eye.
I also look for discussions like this because i get a chance to mention that they are their, and some other person responding to it just might check out my profile just to see what is their. So i thank you for starting this discussion.

I would like to thank you too for sharing your experience with me.I have just put them up may be two weeks or so,and therefore I will be patient and wait to see if I get some referrals from there.However,unlike you I have not tried mentioning them in any discussion so may be I can borrow that tip from you.
I agree with you that the banners may attract a random visitor to our profile page and so it is always better to put them up and leave them there.No one knows when some curious person may drop by and choose to sign up.Good luck to you.Take care...

Hi,
I have put up the banners since not even a month.May be two weeks at the most.So I will have patience and wait.I am glad to know that it has worked for you and you have got referrals from it.
I have a lot of friends here though the communication between us is not so much.Nevertheless,as you said,the description on the banners really makes the difference.so I have done my bit in writing them accordingly.Happy posting.

Banners really help to promote your websites. It helps you gain more people to view and exchange your websites leading to sign up and be your referrals. Only you can do it if you have more friends in mylot. So the best is to start a good discussion then many people will respond to it, then you make a comment based on their responses and start the friendship from there and you can even ask this people to see your website and if they are interested, then your way to millions. Hehe. Keep posting. Happy Mylotting. Have a nice day.

From the experience of my referrer in mylot, it seems there are some possibilities to get referrals from our profile banners and there still some users to search for some paying sites in the profiles of others. But it seems that we need to be actively participate in the discussions to attract the members to visit our profile.Also it is better not to ask the members to visit our profile. Only the members who used visit the profiles of the other members may register with the sites. But the possibilities are very very less for that. Because of the above, I have not include any banner in my profile.

Hi,
I agree with you that we need to be really active to have a 1% chance to attract visitors to our profile page.But then getting sign ups is still a matter of luck and therefore it is nice to know that you have not put up any banners on your profile,since it really does not help.I am still on the testing-my-luck phase and hope to continue with the banners for some more time.Actually I have put them up not very long ago so I will be patient for few more weeks.Nice to know your views.
Happy posting.

Nope i don't have a site :p and not a banner therefore :D but i don't think i will join some site because i see a banner which says anything interesting about earning as there is a lot of scam sites available on web. So keeping a banner may help but can't help a lot

Hi!
Nice to know your views on this but Mylot can do a lot really!I never knew about any earning sites till I accidentally stumbled upon this site.From the interesting discussions and tons of topics related to earning sites and opportunities,that are posted here daily,I have learned about several earning sites and signed up too.I have also gone in for referral exchanges and it is quite a trend here.
I have a lot of faith in this site as it can work a miracle or two,and so I will keep my banners up there and keep my fingers crossed.Happy posting.
