oh well, i guess you know what refer means, it means your trying to refer someone to that site. there are site that encourage you to refer someone to their site so that there will be more members to that site and in return they will give you credit for that to be added to your earnings. like here in mylot, when you refer someone you can earn something like 25% of what they earned. though your referrals still get the money of what they earned.

Referral means money! LOL Here it is: when you join a website like MyLot and you become impressed of how good it is, you begin sharing the good story about MyLot to other people on earth. When they join MyLot through your referral link, they become you referral! Because you have spread the good news about MyLot, they now owe you something, and they promised to give you some "rewards" in the form of referral income in return for your efforts in helping MyLot membership grow.

Referrals are those real life friends that you send a request to join you on a site. Some sites allow you to buy referrals also. Those are people who have signed up on their own without anyone refering them to the site.

referrals from the root word refer: mean to recommend or to endorse example: you want to endorse something to your friend, you become the referrer of that thing, so referrals is subjecting to a person who will refer.
